Superbowl

I watched an entire game of American Football last Monday morning. Calafornian Scott had searched Thailand to find a bar showing Superbowl at 6 in the morning, so i thought i'd see what the fuss was about. I rested my baseball hat as high on my head as possible, ate 12 hotdogs and 14 burgers, and 1 bottle of bud.
I think i remember my Dad watching a few games years and years ago when they tried to introduce it to British television, i thought then that it was pretty bad, and it still is now.
Its probably got even worse, as the advert giants pay more money to show their ads, and the game lasted 4 hours !
I can kind of see that it would be a decent sport if it wasn't so slow, but apparently it was quite a good game! Final score Seahawks 10 - Steelers 21.
Anyway, the six nations has started now, so i won't have to watch anymore rubbish (apart from when Scotland play Italy).
I have always avoided Irish pubs when i have been abroad (apart from 1 in Poland), but i seems they are the only places that show the rugby, so this evening I am going go and sit in a dodgy rip off of a bar called the 'Laughing Lepricorn' (Dave Fitz dies of laughter). I even just ate a English sausage sandwich, and the weather is overcast. A perfect Saturday.
