Not A Good Result for Ipswich Town

Today’s Championship Play-Off result, which sees West Ham going up to the Premier League and Blackpool staying behind is not good for Ipswich.  And especially, for those supporters like me, who live in London. We lose a nice away match in East London and it is swapped for a trip to Bolton, Blackburn or Wolverhampton. Only, the latter is a reasonable trip from London.

Outside of the play-offs, we’ve also lost Reading, Southampton, Portsmouth, Coventry and Doncaster.  Only Doncaster, although they have a nice stadium, is a bad journey. At least we’ve gained Charlton, but it looks like we’ll get two more Yorkshire clubs.

A Thought of Angel on Google

This was the Thought of Angel yesterday.

Thought of Angel – Google

No-one was seeming to mind, that it was a bit sexist. Or are wives and their mothers still fair game.

BBC Ignores the Science and the History

Perhaps it’s symtomatic of our age, where people forget or ignore the science and history behind everything.

I watched the start of the torch relay at Land’s End on the BBC.

They didn’t mention that the miner’s lamp used to transport and safeguard the flame is a development of the Davy lamp.  The original lamp was designed by Humpry Davy from Penzance. That was close to Land’s End, last time I looked.
