A bit of everything

Weather-wise, today we’ve had sun, torrential rain, hail, thunder, lightning and fog.

Tonight, I was sat with my two colleagues (one American, the other Polish) in an Australian-themed bar, eating Indian food. We were watching Germany play Turkey in Euro 2008.

We left at half time in order to get a taxi and avoid any nastiness. By this point all our predictions for the score were already wrong (me Germany winning 2-0, Rafal Germany winning 1-0, Jeff Turkey winning 2-0)

Someone sat at the next table to us had a nice surf T-shirt on, I think from Hawaii. It had some English writing on the back, including:

• He who dies with the most toys, still dies.
• Speak softly, but wear a loud shirt.
• There are two ways to become rich: get more or desire less.

In the taxi on the way home we caught part of the second half because the taxi driver had a small portable flat screen TV thing propped up on the dashboard on top of the meter. We got home safely nonetheless, and Germany have just squeaked through 3-2.
