Sport, RL, Book Reviews and the film meme

I knew there was something I meant to tell you all yesterday.

Martin Koch finally won a ski-jumping competition. He's been 2nd and 3rd far, far too often. But this time he won, at the ski-flying at Harrakov. The thing which pleased me wasn't just him winning, although that made me very happy indeed, but the fact that all the Austrians, the people he'd just beaten, were there to congratulate him. They do strike me as being a proper team, even though they compete against each other.

But then again, it seems to be a think throughout the ski-jumpers because they're all really friendly, even up to the coaches. Yesterday, Mika Koriankovsky (spelling variable), the Finnish coach, gave the Czech coach a high five after one of the Czech jumpers had a great jump.

And now there is snooker :D

And also Leicester City drawing with Man. City :D It's been a good weekend for people/teams I like.

I have just about finished my first draft of corrections. Remind me that this is no excuse for ice cream and cinema. It is however, an excuse for the gym.

Film Meme - Day 15 - Favorite film sequel

There can be only one, and that is Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail, even if it's apparently really called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

It's fun and it works on the same terms as the first film while building from it.
