Chelski under pressure (Dec 27 2003 23:16 GMT) - New owner Roman Abromovich spent well over $160 million this past summer to push Chelsea FC ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal but so far, with one match left in 2003, the Blues have simply kept the third place with which they finished last season. The Straits Times has a decent article on their near term outlook. The pressure is on manager Claudio Ranieri particularly as he's faced rumors all year that his boss is simply waiting for England to finish their Euro 2004 effort to name Sven Goran Ericksson as the new man.American fans think they put pressure on but to me it seems nowhere near what the top English and European soccer clubs get from theirs; Chelsea have only played 18 games so far, after all, and have many new starters and top subs who need some time to gell. |

The Photo Store (Dec 27 2003 23:16 GMT) - Hello and welcome to the one and only location on the entire internet where framed and matted photos taken by me can be purchased with a click of a mouse.Yes it went something along those lines as I finally produced something out of something else and then there was The Photo Store.It should be interesting to see what kind of market there actually is for my work. I'm trying hard to refrain from making premature predictions, I'll simply have to wait and see. The most difficult part was pin pointing the price that would be fair to the potential consumers and of course last but not the least, me. |

Shoeshine's Annual Awards: Can we have a drum roll please ... (Dec 27 2003 23:15 GMT) - At the sixth annual ceremony of an event that has spawned a host of imitators but no peers, judges of the Shoeshine Awards once again had a hard time separating run-of-the-mill silliness from world-class buffoonery The Harry Flashman Yellow Ribbon for Corporate Spinelessness is a new award recognising that the days when the chairman and the board ran companies are drawing to a close. These days the job is increasingly done by pressure groups, consultancy tarts touting politically correct twaddle and schoolmarm social engineers sitting on the government's front bench. HOUSTON, WE HAVE CONTACT: The Shareholders' Association's Bruce Sheppard (left) and Contact's Phil Pryke kiss and make up just in time for Christmas The inaugural award went to a late entrant but the strength of its case left judges breathless. In a shameless display, Contact Energy's independent directors prostituted themselves to the Shareholders' Association, signing away their future colleagues' right to a pension. |

gala : LA NUIT (Dec 27 2003 23:15 GMT) - Morne, indolente, habillée de pluie, recouverte d'asphalte froid et de gris. La nuit mon amie, ma femme, ma bien aimée. Je reconnais son goût d'acier, je la sens avant de la voir. Un froid sublime m'envahit, une douce attente s'installe au creux de mon ventre, qui tire mes entrailles pour se lover en moi et là, faire son lit. Mon sang, livide, afflue aux tempes et m'éblouit de rouge et de pluie fraîche, et des fraîches odeurs de la nuit, ma femme, mon amie, ma bienheureuse. |
