There's a lot of talk about England needing a manager (see The Surfer's blog). Just not one of them Bank Manager's that are so in the news at the moment though! Eh?

Use Your Loaf!
There's not a day goes by without the press reporting upon England's need to use their heads and how it's all about thinking for oneself and personal responsibility 'n'all.
Maybe it's got to the point where its 'A Matter of Loaf or Death'!

A Big White Horse!
'The Angel of the South' - that's what it's being billed as! A large white horse, 50 metres high (that approx. 150 feet high in old money), designed by Mark Wallinger, sited in Ebbsfleet!
I'm not a horse'y person, I would have liked to have seen a giant set of stumps with a bat and a ball! 50 metres high!

Distractions
As the snow and ice melt away (although if you are unlucky enough to live in the South West, another deluge is forecast for this evening) tracks are left in the mud of the landscape from the games people played in the snow, sitting like scars and it calls to mind what must be left on the pitch at Sabina Park in Kingston. So as the critics both inside the team and out start to dissect the result and discussions have inevitably turned to the money, showered upon individual players by the IPL like flower petals on some new-found deity, we have to ask; does money lead to distractions?
Well, I know if I was just signed up to £170K a week I'd be putting maybe a little thought into replacing my 2" of bare forearm, just above the wrist for a Rolex Submariner Date and maybe I'd spend just a couple of seconds about replacing the clapped out French saloon I drive for something with a sweet-sounding exhaust and a picture of a bull on the bonnet and just maybe I'd looking to take my old jumper down to Oxfam and trade up to an Italian-sounding suit. I wouldn't be distracted though.
HOWZAT?
'Oh!'
