Birthday fun
Well I celebrated my birthday over the weekend before last, and it was probably my best birthday ever. All the sporting results went my way, and those who know me well know I can get quite excited about sport. First off, I went to watch Coventry play and they finally won after many attempts (see previous post), also Wales kept their Grand Slam ambitions alive with a win over Ireland, Scotland beat England (fantastic!), and then Chelsea got knocked out of the FA cup against the mighty Barnsley. Even more fantastic!
When we got home in the evening, I saw my wonderful birthday cake that my wife made - it was a christmas cake (at my request!) iced-up like the welsh flag - very impressive (pictures will be forthcoming). So all in all, the best birthday ever!
(A post saying "woo we won the grand slam" will be forthcoming soon, don't worry...)

Six nations predictions 2008
Every year I make these predictions - but this year is pretty hard, practically anyone can beat anyone. However two firm predictions I will make...
- England will not finish in the top 2. They are a distinctly average team, who were very lucky to get to the World Cup final. Much of the country appears to have been duped into the illusion that they are suddenly a really good team, including the experts (see their predictions here).
- Some people are rubbishing the Scots - but I think they are slowly going places, and they will win at least 2 games.
Here, then are my tentative predictions (I made them before the first game by the way)
England v Wales... England
Ireland v Italy... Ireland
Scotland v France... Scotland
France v Ireland... Ireland
Wales v Scotland... Wales
Italy v England... England
France v England... France
Ireland v Scotland... Scotland
Wales v Italy... Italy
Ireland v Wales... Wales
Scotland v England... Scotland
France v Italy... France
England v Ireland... Ireland
Italy v Scotland... Scotland
Wales v France... France
Oh, and I don't care one jot I was wrong about the Wales - England game. Absolute credit to Wales for sticking at it - I am very, VERY happy right now :)
