I was watching the Udinese Roma game this morning (the only HD Sunday soccer on Shaw...) and was wondering about the lack of fans seated close to the field. What's the deal? It makes the game look like a CSA special. There seemed to be a lot of empty seats higher up as well. Anyways, anybody...

I took the meat of this post from an email that was sent to me because it explains the situation very well. A bit of a sombre post here, but I just wanted to let all of you know that Marcus (Keeper, as he's known here) is in the middle of some very serious health issues. He has a liver disease...

Ah, some good old fashioned, clean humour taken from high school essays: He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high...

That was a couple of Westside teams (Premier Women and the Bulldogs) that witnessed/reported the shootings last night. Coach Doug was pretty shaken when I saw him around 9.

I thought this was mentioned here before but it must have been the old forum...beer (Granville Island Maple—at least I think that's what I had) and a (great) burger for $8 on Thursday night and I got served around midnight.

Kathleen Murphy was standing vigil over her husband's death bed. As she held his hand, her warm tears ran silently down her face, splashed onto his face, and roused him from his slumber. He looked up and his pale lips began to move slightly. "My darling Kathleen, " he whispered. "Hush, my...

One of the founders of Westside, in those days known as Miloni, died over the weekend. Make sure you pick up a loaf of bread on the way, Bob. Bobby Baldwin was an inspiring man who, as our goalie (he was a promising rugby player before his knees gave out...why else would anyone become a...

What a propaganda shot! Here's the caption that ran with it (from Yahoo News): President Bush speaks about Columbus Day at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building Monday, Oct. 13, 2003. President Bush, annoyed by what he considers the 'filter' of news reporting, will seek to go around the...

Columbus 2-1 Quebec From the WCOTSL President Carlos Grosso: Columbus won the Western Canadian Championships and/or the Nationals by beating Quebec in the final 2 to 1 on Monday, October 13th, in Edmonton. I don't know any details but I suppose congratulations are in order. That's a...

I read this and thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with inspiring/aspiring/perspiring musicians. Here's an exerpt: God made the world round so we can all have center stage. Everybody is important, as long as you're doing it from your heart. Frustration and depression lead to...

Just got the poop on the BC's this year: 16 teams allocated as follows: WCOTSL--6 Van. Isl.--4 FVSL--3 North Shore--3 It should be an interesting tournament but I'm a little suprised at the breakdown. I don't know if the WCOTSL should get twice as many berths as the FVSL...more certainly :D...

The excellent BCSoccerweb site is down. A check on the domain status showed it expired December 12th. Marty, if you're lurking, is this the end? It must have been a bit of work to maintain but was a good central source for info over the years and will be sorely missed if it's closed...

Had to laugh last night just before nodding off (King of the Hill is on CH 57 @ 12:30AM on Shaw Vancouver): Bill Dauterive, in his best suit holding a bouquet of flowers, is hanging around the women's prison trying to pick up chicks as they're being released. Bill to huge, neck-optional...

World's funniest joke is named In a year-long experiment called LaughLab, a British psychology professor asked thousands of people around the world to rate the humor value of a list of jokes; they could also add their own favorites. In December, Richard Wiseman and his associates...

David received a parrot for his birthday. This parrot was fully grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude. David tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite...

John Entwistle bassist for the Who died in Vegas today a day before their North American tour was to start. The cause of death is being investigated I always liked his quiet demeanor and wicked bass riffs.

A couple of interesting things have come up for next year. The first is that the VMSL seems to be putting an O-30 (something) division together and the other is that there seems to be dialogue between the FVSL and WCOTL for an interlocking schedule. The demise of the O-30 BC's is now a done...
