Scotland at World Cup 2006

I see Scotland did indeed make it to the World Cup 2006. Even if it is the name of one of the players for Trinidad and Tobago.

I'm a MONDAY Winner

Well, well, well (three holes in the ground). I dont play the UK National Lottery, as I think the odds of winning are far to high, the money to charity is far to low, and the prize money for 3 4 and 5 balls is too low. I saw an add on the tele for Monday lottery, and this is a charities lottery. I thought, well, I'll give it a go. Its all online and you transfer your stake money in, and use it when you like. I entered over three weeks and didnt get a bean, then missed a week for whatever reason, then though last Sunday, lets do it again. I did all five lines (5 charities), and thought no more of it, thinking my stake money is just about exhausted. Tuesday I got an email saying I was a winner, thinking I had matched 3 balls and maybe getting 17 pounds, for my efforts, I logged onto my account to find I had matched 4 balls and had won 126 pounds. Woooooooppie. At last, I have won something of a significant value. The most I've ever won before was the odd 10 pound on the National lottery before I gave it up about 10 years ago. So well done me, I'm really chuffed.

World Cup 2006 Has Started

Well its a month of football that will be very hard to avoid. However, I have made my predictions on who will win. Watching yesterdays opening games, I don't see Poland or Germany as a threat. I now have more faith that England could actually win this tournament. Although, keep an eye on a pair of dark horses: Spain and Mexico.
