Skull and Crossbones

A great shame about St Pauli last night; there's no doubt that the 0-3 scoreline flattered Bayern greatly. I am definitely supporting both Pauli and FC Union from now on. Of course every cloud has a silver lining, and if Hargreaves can score a blistering goal like that in the summer all we Englanders will be happy.

Either through pushy insufferable groupies or through a broken toe I have now missed two gigs I really wanted to see within the space of five days. To whit: Dirty Pretty Things at Postbahnhof and Infadels at White Trash. Bloody annoying.

Only nine years in jail for the man who slaughtered his sister in a Berlin street under the grotesque twisting of the concept of ‘honour.’ The thought of young women being butchered for such crimes as leaving unhappy marriages, or refusing to be married to old men to clear their family’s debts, makes me so angry I can hardly think straight. As with most violent crimes against women, when a conviction does actually occur the sentence is of course kept to the barest minimum.
