This is really quite remarkable…. The new Cardinals stadium will have fully retractable turf, that will completely roll out of the stadium for conferences and concerts.

I’ve just had the misfortune to see Iron Maiden on ITV’s coverage of the Reading festival… Unlike some of their compatriots they really really should have stopped before now. Apparently I’m not the only one to think that, either.

On a Mot�rhead related aside… Did anyone else see Live Fast, Die Old the other night? You gotta love Lemmy.

Keep ‘em coming! (NYT, subs required)…

It’s Friars Entry, Oxfordshire… (the list is at the bottom).

Ah, to live in a free country… I really can’t imagine anyone getting away with this in the UK. More’s the pity.

I’ve been wearing a LiveWrong bracelet for a while, in a vain bid to counter the gym-bunny herdishness of most wearers of Lance Armstrong’s LiveStrong bracelets. Since I first put it on the fashion for rubber bracelets has proliferated so much that you feel you almost have to ask each person what the hell their particular colour means. No longer a statement about anything, other than – like carrying a copy of Big Issue under your arm – you want people to know that you’ve done the decent thing at least once. Cynical? Me? Perhaps I should be wearing one of these instead?

Thing is, this appears not to be a joke… And if nothing else it gets legitimate links to a poker site from the blog world… Anyway – regardless – we’ve had adverts on cars, foreheads and cleavages; now it’s time for bumvertising.
