redfiona99What I've been doing - lots of RL stuff. I had a friend come down and then went out for a meal with work because one of the PhD students has just got a job and his girlfriend passed her viva on Friday. We went out to an allegedly Brazilian restaurant. Not sure how authentic it was but the food was not bad.
I have also, separately, done something unspeakable to the upper right side of my back, particularly whichever one lets me move my head. Pain, pain, pain.
European GP 2012 - (Valencia)
I think I just saw that most unexpected of things, an interesting Valencia GP. Nothing against the beautiful city, but like all road races, over-taking is normally at a minimum. I was especially doubtful given how they changed the DRS zones. But, due to some odd mechanical issues, this was fun. Not happy that it happened, but it definitely helped the race as a spectacle. Also, how happy was Schumacher with his third place. I've heard less happy winners.
That being said, what the heck is happening to McLaren's pitstops?
Euro 2012
At 80 minutes - Dear Italy, please remember your goalie is terrible at penalties. It might be important knowledge.
Also Ashley Young is a diving little so and so.
Italy, don't do this to me.
It's not that I have anything against this England team, it's just ...
Oh no ...
I didn't watch it. I feel terrible for England. This is the true evil of penalties.
Dear gods, this Linkin Park cover they're using at the end of the football is terrible.

Watching the penalties later on the ITV highlights.
1 - I <3 Buffon and Hart.
2 - I am so glad Montelivio will not have to live with that on his conscience. Sorry, he's another one I've watched since he was a baby.
3 - Dear Pirlo, you are one confident (and supreme) son of gun.
4 - I am upset that Ashley Young is the one lumbered with missing a penalty to lose it.
5 - Holy mother of ... Did Gigi just save a penalty?! You have been practising, haven't you darling.
6 - Diamanti and Nocerino are little diamonds, aren't they.
7 - Always the final point, I wouldn't wish penalties on my worst enemy.
7b - Dear ITV ffs don't ask Carragher or Southgate about their misses.
7c - Oh Gareth Southgate, you're a marvel.

Semi-final diagram
It makes sense that Portugal and Spain are locked together, while Germany and Italy hang off the centre, given the number of Portuguese players that play in Spain, and how most of Germany and Italy's players play in the league of their home nation. Real Madrid still contribute the most players (10).
If you view the diagram as communities, they are Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid. Why the last one I do not know.
