Reflexións Veraniegas Intempestivas. Unha Ollada ao Pasado Glorioso, Unha Pregunta Sobre o Presente Desolador e Unha Proposta Para o Futuro Próximo

 


Dicía Manuel Rivas que "o pasado só é o tempo que nos chega dende atrás". Lembreime desa frase cando, nun correo do Main (ou foi un whatsapp?), fun consciente dos catorce anos deste blog. Dos quince da competición. E de como o mundo de 2007 e de 2008 de súpeto, chegoume dende lonxe, como unha onda gravitatoria, perturbando o meu espazo-tempo e proporciondo así unha luz diferente ao que entón tiña o brillo deslumbrante da novidade. Visto dende 2022, 2007 aparece como un tempo case alucinatorio no cal resulta difícil pensar que vivimos algunha vez. O marco estrutural das nosas existencias mutou de forma substancial, conservando moitos hábitos e formalismos anteriores pero tendo dado paso a unha época diferente (peor). Un non sabe se botar man do apestado Vargas Llosa para preguntarnos con el "en que momento se fodeu o Perú, Zavalita?". En que momento se fodeu todo?

Se armó la cámara húngara: Boroman’s World Cup Form Guide

  Dicen que es la segunda competición más importante del planeta football Brazil - The favourites, no doubt about it. Don’t expect the flowing football of old though. This lot are bit more rough and ready like a night out in Stockton but they’ll be hard to beat especially with Lou Ferrango in the team. Will the weight of expectancy prove too heavy a burden?? This country will not accept failure. Croatia - Expect the usual mix of elegance and grit like Fer and Argie combined. Will the rarefied atmosphere be their undoing as it always has been for European teams? Will rely heavily on Mandzukic for goals but will be in the mix. Mexico - Struggled to qualify and about as exciting as a $1 taco. Last time they had a decent squad Pancho Villa was president. Will be Mexican waving bye bye at the first stage. Cameroon – This could be the youngest squad in the competition or the oldest who can tell? This isn’t the team of previous World Cups though. They will struggle to make any rea...

Of Mice And Druids. Cold Flowers From The North Riding

Imaxe
  In the current climate of Tory Narnia, wherein the grey-skull right-wing witch of Universal Callousness defends dogmatic cruelty by chillingly spouting bogus figures, like a terrifying echo from World history, inevitably our minds need some memory to jemmy us out of our slough of despond. Like the recent Indian Summers in the season of greyness and windy destruction, my mind was easily drawn back to earlier in this godforsaken year to Sheffield, England and a weekend of camaraderie and respectful competition called The Anglo-Galician Cup. This year I was fortunate enough to be invited to witness this brilliant event, and it just so happened that it was the tenth anniversary of the event, so emotions were running high.

  Whether it's to bring on or take us off we, despite string science will seek to quaff whether it's for one or one round for all we, despite evidence will make the call whether it's faux or real wind in the mill we, quixotics, take tilts at a swill Whether it's to get you out of the Mousetrap plot daily or away from the all-consuming orifice to take a liberty or for a walk to see if it still barks beyond a laptop dog. From the modern joy of The Craft Beer Shop to the ancient Ship Inn we sojourn and wander for something small to ask: fluid contentment.
