eh

Originally from Dublin, Ireland. Moved to London and then Leeds, England, I now live in Toronto, Canada. Oh and now back again. Anyway, you can take the woman out of Ireland but, you know the rest. Basically the stuff on here will be the same no matter where I am. Ramblings and rantings about stuff, some from Canada.Some of them really do say 'eh' ~~~~~ "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed"

Jules Rimet still gleaming?

Who would have thought there were so many Dutch football fans here in Greektown on the Danforth?
Yesterday I was the sole Portugal supporter (all for you Cristina) in the bar, amongst about a dozen Netherlands fans and it certainly confirmed to me why I don't like team sports.
When Figo got elbowed in the face they cheered, every time a Portugese player was diving or hurt or acting up it was 'send him off, time wasting, blah, blah'.
Other way round and the same behaviour from the Dutch was tolerated with not a word of dissent.
I'm not defending the actions of either team, it was a bad tempered game all round and the referee was not in control at all. Both teams should remember that they are supposed to be professionals and are there representing their countries to the world.
If only it was possible to make them all stand in the corner or give them detention or something....
