Film Trailer - Kick off

I came across this trailer of this new up and coming British film called Kick off.

What happens when the hardest team in the Sunday Soccer league comes up against a gay team (pun intended) and finds they've finally met their match? Watch and wince as fledging referee Elton Glixton struggles to control this testosterone tsunami as rude-boy meets bum-boy in this outrageous new comedy set in the crazy gung-ho world of 5-a-side footie. Written by Rikki Beadle -Blair.

I watched this trailer and i laughed and laughed. This British film takes a look at the stereotypes of being gay and football in a comedic way and challenges your own perceptions on football and sexuality.

The legend of the Lover's Rock - Antequera - Spain

On the boundary with Archidona is a large hillock that resembles a human-like face laying down, said to be that of an Indian warrior. Legend has it that the rock bore witness to a tragic tale of a love affair between a young Christian from Antequera and a Moorish girl from Archidona. Their love for each other was forbidden due to their religions and they fled to the rock with troops on their heels. Rather than spend a lifetime without each other, they threw themselves from the rock in a loving embrace.

Romantic or what?

The Plaza de Espana, Seville

The Plaza de España is one of Seville's most easily recognised buildings and the epitome of the Moorish Revival in Spanish architecture. In 1929 Seville hosted the Spanish-American Exhibition and numerous buildings were constructed for the exhibition in Maria Luisa Park, among them the Plaza designed by Aníbal González. On the Park's edge was built the current Plaza de España to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits.One of the tiled alcoves on the walls of the PlazaThe Plaza is a huge half-circle with buildings continually running around the edge accessible over the moat by numerous beautiful bridges . In the centre is a large fountain. Today the plaza mainly consists of Government buildings, including El Ayuntamiento, but the beauty remains. A popular way to view the exhibition is by renting out a rowing boat and drifting around the moat. By the walls of the Plaza are many tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain. Tourists can have their photo taken by their own home province. is one of Seville's most easily recognised buildings and the epitome of the Moorish Revival in Spanish architecture.

The Alamillo Bridge - Seville, Spain

The Alamillo Bridge in Seville, Andalusia (Spain) spans the Canal de Alfonso XIII in Seville, allowing access to La Cartuja, an island between the canal and the Guadalquivir River. The bridge was constructed as part of infrastructure improvements for Expo 92, which was held on a large site on the island. Construction of the bridge began in 1989 and was completed in 1992 from a design by Santiago Calatrava.

The bridge is of the cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type and consists of a single pylon, counterbalancing a 200 m span with thirteen lengths of cables. The original intent was to build two symmetrical bridges on either side of the island, but in the end, the Alamillo's singular design has proved most striking.This bridge represents the soaring aspirations of the city of Seville in preparation for Expo 92.

Vitamin To Make You Young Again? Yeah Right!

I was sent this viral TV advert from the makers of Centrium. It made me think that some people will always be young no matter how old their bodies may get.

I hope I have this mindset when I get older.

James Henry Greathead - London

James Henry Greathead (6 August 1844 - 21 October 1896) was an engineer renowned for his work on the London Underground railway.

Statue of Greathead in London which was only erected in 1994

In January 1994 the statue shown on this page was erected outside the Bank Underground Station next to the Royal Exchange in the City of London. It was unveiled by the Lord Mayor of London and is positioned on a plinth which hides a ventilation shaft for the Underground. While Bank Station was being refurbished a section of the Barlow-Greathead shield was discovered in a passageway between the Underground and the Waterloo and City Railway. The section has been painted red and a brass plate erected as a further memorial to his achievements.

Trojan's Corner - The Michael Jackson Memorial

Last night, I like many millions across the globe watched the very emotional Michael Jackson memorial on TV.
It was truly a fitting way for the fans across the world to pay their respects to arguably the greatest entertainment the world has ever seen.

The whole set up was very impressive and to have Michaels casket there was really touching, I actually shed a tear (or a few) when the brothers bought it into the arena.

The standout performances for me was Usher, Stevie and John Mayer. I also feel the speeches were very personal and heartfelt.

Below is a posting of my initial thoughts after watching the show.

Rest in peace MJ.
