It's a crannog. Marita Beth, Ginger & I went to the Crannog Centre in Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland. The crannog itself sits on the Loch Tay & is a fascinating dwelling. We went here because our dear Mary was unable to join us and it was what she was most interested in. So, went for her. Prior to the visit I had only a vague, murky clue of what the hell a crannog actually was. Now, I'm enlightened. Our forefathers were canny fucks, wot? The centre has a self-guided tour/display that walk you through the concepts of underwater archaeology and explain to you just what in the hell a crannog really is. Following that, and if you pay enough, they provide you with a real-live guide that takes you into this crannog and talks to you about life 5000 years ago. Dank, dusty & wet (I'm sure...it was a dry day when we went) but just darned neat. The after crannog experience was kinda hep, too. They took you to an on-land tent-like structure and showed how various tools were made, then used, then recycled. An all-for-all positive, illuminating experience. I'm just sorry Mary couldn't join us...it was her idea, after all.
So, Sol Campbell is out injured now. Apparently he's been playing with some sort of bone bruise and can't even kick the ball now. Of course, if you ask me he's been unable to kick the ball for most of the season. On the good news front, it looks like Clichy may make a return in a week or two and of course the African Nation's Cup ends this weekend. So maybe we'll be able to field a team again. Hleb denies being in touch with any German teams, but as much of a cock-up as he's been, I'd be more surprised if he wasn't looking elsewhere. He's got to know his days are numbered. Liverpool lost to Charlton yesterday which pretty much makes the EPL a one-horse race with Chelsea having already crossed the line. No photo-finish here. Arsenal sit in 5th place, so at least we have a shot at European football next year. We just have to force those bastards of White Hart out of their spot.
Wastrel On!
