Voodoo Style

I don't know what it is about the Voodoo like, Black Magic Acupuncture that i have but it does seem to work for me. Back in for acupuncture this morning and was still hobbling around like a man of 90 before i went in. Even when she pressed around the Achilles it was so sore i was nearly crying like a girl but once she had weaved her magic and stuck the needles in and then set fire to them it did actually ease down a little. Sticking them in Kidney 6 , Achilles 42, and Channel 8 all seemed very official and was enough to nearly send me to sleep whilst on the table. Once done though she then prodded once again and to my surprise i wasn't in nearly as much pain.
Another appointment next Monday so lets hope it has the same effect and i am back before to long.

Before that though was a little work first up and i saw Enda and the Leech (Eoin) flying around again in the park - both looking very fit, although Enda continues this charade about him struggling and doing no training this after HuRTS last Thursday, Swim Friday , Racing Sat (35.19), 25ks Sunday, Swim Monday, HuRTS Tuesday and then 18ks this morning .........and that's just what i know :)

On the Sports front - Returned home to watch the Big Game between Man Utd and Real Madrid in the Champions League, in what should have been a game billed with such excitement was unfortunately ruined by controversy by a terrible decision in the second half by the referee when he sent a Man U player off. Not seen a worse decision then that since 1985when in my day playing in the F.A Youth Cup when the ref disallowed a perfect goal from yours truly :)
Whilst on footy, the HuRTS boys teams continue to struggle in the Premiership, with the likes of QPR (Heyden), Villa(Stankard) both battling to avoid relegation, whilst Tom's Toon also looking anything but safe, whilst Master Sweeney's Arsenal are no longer the Pride of North London and will even struggle to make the top 4 , and my old boys Stoke are on struggle street as well and are terrible at the moment especially away from home and with a trip to the North East against Newcastle this week more trouble could loom. The only one with a smile on his face is Slim Sammy Agnew with his Palace on the verge of Promotion - although i fear there could be a twist or two to come yet.

In Cricket, Couldn't help but have a sly chuckle to myself yesterday watching the Aussies over in India capitulate and lose 8 wickets for about 80 runs at one stage. Not looking good for them with the Ashes only two tests away. Some of those players just are not good enough I'm sorry, despite having all this time to get it right and if Captain Clarke doesn't score then i can't see where the runs are going to come from.
It could be a long Double Ashes for the boys in the 'Baggy Green? ........and us English couldn't be happier with that :)

Rugby - This week sees the 6 Nations return with England up against Durante's much improved Italians, will be tough but i suspect the real BIG one will come next week up against Tucks adopted Welsh boys for the Grand Slam, whilst i think the Irish could slip up against the French at home in the Greenhouse over in Dublin.

Had planned on hitting the Boy Charlton Biathlon tomorrow evening but that will have to be canned now due to injury, not sure Tom will be there either with similar issues, with Walker and Smolley also away then Enda is the raging favorite especially in the form he is in. I will give a quick run down on all starters and there chances tomorrow. As well as talking up some of the HuRTS boys chances for this weekends 6ft track event.


Cheers
