Moving house in two weeks, father for the second time in five, and 16 on-calls in the next 32 days. I'm gonna be busy but the on-calls mean I'll have time to post. Win some, lose some. Anyway. Dpdx, you mentioned going to germany for the worldcup. You're more than welcome to drp by if you're in the area.Word to the wise : The different games are not know yet, but unless you'd like to be participating in some good oldfashioned hooliganism and love the smell of tear-gas and pepperspray in the morning, or if your idea of a good shower is a water-cannon, you'd best avoid going to: The Netherlands-GermanyEngland-GermanyEngland-FranceFrance-AlgeriaEngland-Italy.England-Turkey If you think I'm overreacting google-fu heizelstadion and juventus, or just read this:<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/768380.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/768380.stm</a><a href="http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2000/487/sprt1.htm" target="_blank">http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2000/487/sprt1.htm</a> With the aniversery of this tragedy, they broadcasted a reportage about the current state of hooliganism. Especially in the former DDR (east-germany) the hooligans are gonna try to make this worldcup one to remember. The english have clashed with the police on several occasions, especially in turkey, and when they played Lichtenstein about a hundred were wounded in clashes in switzerlad when they changed trains and got agressive. The Netherlands-Germany always seems a little reenactment of WWII. Football, you gotta love it. The rest should be quite safe, and all USA-matches should be fine. Security will be quite heavy around the stadiums, though. Anyway, you can't say I didn't warn you, and I hope to see you next year.</blockquote>
