Arsenal did the business, not just for their fans but for the country too! Getting through to the Second Phase of the Champions League, but also as group winners and therefore will not meet Chelsea or Manchester United in the second phase. That was the most important aspect. When everyone thought the team were down and out, bottom of the group with 1 point from the first three games. However, we recovered and in what style, to beat Locomotiv Moscow at Highbury and safefly secure passage to the next round of European’s elite competition.
On my quest to find suitable blogs to add to my Blogs of Note listing (on the left!) I have come across a Web Ring. Well it’s not really a web ring, more of a blog ring. So what makes this ring different from others? It is exclusively dedicated to those special blogs on the world wide web, those blogs that hope to make a different, purely by the nationality of the author. I am of course, talking about British Blogs. I was hoping to add myself to the listing, but at the moment, memberships for new members is closed. However, that does not mean, I cannot add a link to their site and hope that someone aids my quest for their membership to be opened again soon.
As you may recall, a site recommended to me by my dear friend Sibtain has proved to be a successful way of surfing onto other blogs. The site is of course, MightyMouse dot net run by the genius that is, Hussein Jodiyawalla. It is just a shame he doesn’t update the site has often with real content, rather than screen captures and stupid photos of fluffy animals. Come on Hussein, raise your standard! Anyways, his link section brought to my attention the aptly named, “Why the Hell” website run by Alex Mace. A basic but well designed guided into his life after University.
I hope to be added a long list of blogs that you should read on daily basis, within the next few weeks. My plan is to highlight Brit blogs, but also any that are important enough to require a review.
My other plan for the Christmas holidays is to completely re-organize my MP3 collection. As it continues to grow and an alarming pace, I’m beginning to lose track
of songs and their exact location. Therefore, I’m going to create folders for all 60s and 70s material and also double check that all songs are in the right decade. Any un-released or special material (special remixes, limited editions etc) will be placed in a new folder and archived away onto CD) I am also going to accelerate my quest to have every single UK Number One hit single from 1980 to the present day. Once this has successfully been done, I will endeavour to backup everything to DVD, to ensure I have pristine copy of every song! Of course the ultimate goal is to break the 3000 mp3 barrier before the end of the year. On my last check, I have around 2790, which means just 210 songs to download before 31st December. (That is 21 days away!) Will I do it? Time will tell. Will I break the 3000 visitor mark before then too? I hope so! 🙂
