are divided over Kasabians right to rock fame, but their eclectic
indie-house crossover rocked at the Backstage Werk... |

AC/DC
bodysnatchers JET transported the 40-somethings back in time to
celebrate rock’n’roll minus the lycra pants. 2000
rockers young and old left the Muffathalle with ears bleeding... |
All pray for...

March

Its a
rare thing to be in the presence of genius. Rarer still to be given a
stellar performance to match. Damien Rice IS the
new corduroy Messiah... |

Fantasy League 06/07
|
June 2007
Its “All hail King
Richard” as top 3 walk away with all the gongs leaving the rest to fight over
the paltry “Toys Out of Pram” award (see Cal). Cristiano Ronaldo was player of
the year and Smackrington owe their success mostly to the portuguese
winker.

Wettersteinalm
|
August 2007
The intended "gentle stroll" turns into another monster 7 hour 800m climb along
a picture postcard route with stunning views of the Wettersteinalm and
Zugspitzgebiet. Popular Ausflugsort best avoided on bank holidays! |
Vank!
|
August 2007
We treated ourselves to a nice, "easy" hike and bought the 12 euro lift tickets
up to the top of the mountain officially called "Wank"! The walk was all
downhill and took in a spectacular panorama. Indeed Vank is a classic flower pot
hill with a 1000m ascent and the climbs are best avoided. Probably a very
popular Ausflugsort! |
Euro2008 Qualifiers
|
September 2007
Its make or break time as England take on Israel and Russia at the new Wembley
looking to climb up the table and put the ghost of recent dodgy performances to
rest. Also, finally managed to cash in the hot air balloon ride. |

new Tracht. |
Barolo 2007
|
November 2007
Initially inspired by the need to fill the new wine fridge, this trip developed
momentum when it was coupled with the annual Alba truffle fest. The gang along
with Martin and Suzy zoom off to the Langhe hills for some expensive
refreshments... |
