People I Know In The News
A few months ago I befriended the vicar of St Bartholomew-the-Less, a church located within the grounds of the hospital at which I work. He invited me to check out his church which houses the oldest wooden bell frame in the City and is one of the oldest churches in the country. I made a pictorial post about this visit in February. Though we have been out of touch recently, he has repeatedly offered me free entry to the top of St Paul's Cathedral together with a free tour.
In recent days however he has made national headlines by incurring the wrath of the Anglican Church for participating in what some (or perhaps many?) have proclaimed a blasphemous gay wedding ceremony in another church next to where I work, St Bartholomew-the-Great. I couldn't think of a better time to get back in touch with Reverend Peter Cowell. Watch this Space!

Flawless
A nice movie set in 1960s London, starring Michael Caine (one of my favourite actors) and Demi Moore.

Euro 2008 Semifinal Lineup
Germany v Turkey
Spain v Russia
Before tonight, Spain had lost three consecutive penalty shootouts on the same date in 1986, 1996 and 2002. Too bad Torres was taken off before he could take a penalty. Hopefully he'll score against the Russians. Before the tournament began I was marginally supporting Spain ahead of the other teams. Now I'm not so sure. I liked Spain more than the others simply due to Torres. Traditionally, I support the underdog when my team is not taking part. As such I would be thrilled to see Turkey and Russia both make the finals, and for the Turks to go on and proclaim themselves Europe's best. They might have trouble getting into the European Union, but when it comes to football, they're slowly but surely working their way into Europe's best. Ditto for the Russians (though they won the inaugural tournament as the USSR).
