NFL Superbowl Dept.
Well it's the Superbowl XLII on Sunday and features the undefeated New England Patriots against New York Giants. The Patriots are going for the 4th Superbowl win in just 5 years. Whilst the Giants are looking for their 2nd win since 1991 when they gave the Buffalo Bills the first of 4 consecutive Superbowl defeats. I think it would be perfect if New England can make the perfect season. Anyhow it's always the half-time show that causes the most interest. Remember the Janet's 'wardrobe malfunction' in 2004?
Rugby Dept.
This weekend is also the start of the six nations championship. Rugby is simply American Football without the padding and helmets. Rugby players make the Patriots and Giants look like nancy boys! The six nations features, England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Wales. England will probably go into the Championship as favourites on the back of reaching the final of the World Cup. But I sense France could be out for revenge
Culture Dept.
As I mentioned last week, the Trinidad Carnival takes place next week but it also coincides with another celebration, Chinese New Year on February 7th. The new year will the year of the rat. wikipedia seems to have covered the subject in depth.
Football Dept.
All is not well at Liverpool. They are now well off the pace in the Premiership succumbing to ex-Charlton united 1-0, following their tough tussle against Havant & Waterlooville in the FA Cup.
Tiger-watch Dept.
Tiger Woods went on to win the Buick Invitational by 8 shots and this weekend, he is in action in the Dubai classic and he is in front after two rounds on -8. He should win this as he so rarely loses when he hits the lead in tournaments.
Music Dept.
No change at the top with Bass Hunters once again on top for a third week. Adele stays at #2. Kelly Rowland has been working it with "work" up from #31 to #7 and deservedly so as she's been doing promotional shows in such places like Faces in Essex. Also Jay Sean had the highest new entry with "ride it". It's what happening outside the charts that's really interesting. Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears are in hospital. Two of Girls aloud are having trouble / split up from their high profile partners. All is not well with Coles at the moment with Chelsea footballer, Ashley having an affair with a hairdresser. Meanwhile Nadine Coyle split up with Jesse Metcalfe of Desperate Housewives fame. He was due to show up at the forementioned Faces.
Beadle's not about Dept.
And finally, Jeremy Beadle is no more and it was sad day when that was announced. Everyone in the UK remembers him for being on Game for a laugh, Beadle's about and You've been framed. I think he did get a bit too popular as the media really tried to cut him down and hence why he faded away in the 90s. He's done a lot of good work, particularly for charity raising 100 million pounds. One thing I heard on the radio, he used to do was a present a radio show on London's circle line.
