local sporting bits

There are three pieces of local sporting news that caught my eye today:

1. An Army colonel died in Sunday’s Singapore Biathlon. This morning while flipping through the papers I saw his pictures splattered all over the obituary page, and was wondering what happened. Now, why is it that no one took me seriously when I mentioned about going for an ECG?


2. F1 owner Bernie Ecclestone now says it’s possible to have a grand prix in Singapore, and a street circuit to boot. That’s absolutely unbelievable! If this dream turns reality, we’ll be the only street circuit in F1 apart from Monte Carlo – the most glamourous race in the world!


3. It’s also reported in the papers that the evil cable company will be charging its loyal (due to a lack of alternatives) subscribers $15 on top of the sports group fee to watch World Cup matches. For early birds opting in, the charge is $10. How thoughtful of them as usual.
   
   And as always I’ve only 7 words of high praise for the evil cable company – the acronym starts with a K and ends with a B: K*****B!!!

Oh, pardon my French. I tend to get all lyrical when being treated so lovely.
