strassin'

Now I'm in Strasbourg, and again I think its the best place I've been. Maybe I just have a very short term memory, or maybe I'm always just so happy to get somewhere that I always think where I am is the best place yet. Strasbourg is awesome. Its a real blend of German and French, with interesting results. Good restaurants. I ate lebanese tonight and it was excellent. SOrt of like Turish delight but better presentation, less rice, and more expensive. Plus it came with a half flask of wine so now I'm pretty much happy regardless. I spent my afternoon in the Jewish quarter zith kids in Yammukahs [sp?] running around. I'm pretty good at biking now, I did Metz-Nancy the other day, rest in Nancy, evening out, day between there and here. Now some rest and relaxation. I'm eating tonnes of bread which is ridiculously cheap and good. Other than that, nutella, cheese spread, and then restaurants between whiles. I was in Sarrebourg, for lunch and siesta the other day, a lot nicer than they said in the tourist guide!!!! Too bad about Zizou!! The French media still talk of nothing else. Speculating about the outrages that Matarazzi must have said. ZZ is going to get the legion of honour on Bastille Day. Looking forward to that, except its supposed to be so hot that there can't be any fireworks. Yeah!!!! Will be heading south through ALsace in the next days.

Don't forget to eat your vegatables, Bread Boy!

I heard that the English tabloids hired lipreaders to find out what Matarazzi said, and that the results of that ranged from "your sister is a prostitute" to "you're the son of a terrorist whore". But Matarazzi has stated that he isn't cultured enough to know what an Islamic terrorist is, so of course it wasn't that one. What a bizarro way to end the cup. And usually the last game is so anti-climactic!

I don't think that whatever Matarazzi said can take too much of the blame, they must make insults like that all of the time.
Thorfinn, it seems like you may have hit on on how to be happy.

no, no, Matarazzi surely must be evil, it simply couldn't be that a man as refined and heroic as ZZ could possibly make such a display without provocation. Its as simple as that.
