So then...

What do you think of the new top banner then?

I've registered nfield.co.uk for this blog. Partly cuz it sounds like ANFIELD and also cuz then my email can be thisis@nfield which actually looks like thisisanfield.

Please update your links, make sure they're pointing to www.nfield.co.uk. The old URL is still functional though.

Random?!

If you don't know what a 'minge' is, here's the dictionary entry for it.

Joke of the Day

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp.

"What happened to you?" asks Sean the bartender.

"Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.

"That little stinker, O'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."

"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."

"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself, didn't you have something in your hand?"

"That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

Vaughan and Tresco return to earthquake site

The pair asked if they could make the trip aboard one of the RAF's Chinook helicopters from 27 Squadron, after Friday's moving visit to the children's wing of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Science, where many of the injured are being treated. Other players wanted to take part in yesterday's mercy mission, but with space rightly needed for more pressing things like medicine and the injured, only two seats were available.

"After seeing it for ourselves, we know there's still an enormous amount of work to be done," Vaughan said. "But it was amazing to see so many kids smiling as we delivered the aid." Vaughan and Trescothick return to earthquake site - By Derek Pringle in Islamabad



The idea first came to the players after seeing helicopters flying over the Pindi stadium en route to the stricken area 70 miles to the north of Islamabad. But if that pricked the curiosity, it was the hospital visit - and the fact that thousands more children and adults still await treatment on bleak mountainsides - that put everything into perspective and changed this from being just another cricket tour.





Most touching is that many brides-to-be have given their dowries to those in need. In relative terms that is a far greater sacrifice than a million dollars of aid from the West, and Pakistan should be proud of them.

Best Rejected Advertising

Russian Finance Magazine, Russia


This ad, from the Russian Finance magazine was banned in Moscow. The poster company had to tear down a 100 posters overnight after receiving a letter from Igor Presnyakov, chairman of the Moscow Committee for advertising and information.

The campaign, by the Russian Finance magazine, was judged immoral by the Committee.

Magazine publisher Igor Maltsev said he did not realise what the posters were supposed to represent. "I thought the currencies were dancing on our poster, but after hearing from Mr Presnyakov I saw that, yes, maybe, this is a love scene."


Marithe & Francois Girbaud, Italy


Complaint:
This image offends the religious sensibilities of all citizens. It trivializes the intense and dramatic moment during the Last Supper in which Christ anticipates his crucifixion in order to liberate humanity from their sins by appropriating religious symbols - such as loaves and fish - for commercial purposes and by replacing the apostles with female fashion models.

Advertiser’s Statement:
The advertisers´ primary defense was that modern society has enabled women to achieve sexual equality with men only by sacrificing their femininity. This advertisement´s interpretation of Leonardo´s painting does not trivialize the sacred, but rather creates a new perception of femininity by presenting men - instead of women - in a position of fragility.

Adjudication:
The Advertising Standards Authority of Italy ruled that the image offends religious belief not only because it provokes a reaction among consumers of the sacred profaned, but also because it attempts to elevate commercial products to the same level as religious symbols. Rather than being merely satirical, the message of this advertisement blurs the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, and thus offends consumer sensibility.

Liverpool 2 - 0 West Ham

Finally, a win. It was only WestHam, I know, but 3 points is all that matters right now. I reckon we need a few wins like these to get our confidence back, and get into some sort of rythm. We've shown signs of brilliance as a team at times, but we haven't been able to kill the games off by scoring goals.

Last night was a much improved performance by Morientes, lets hope he finds his golden touch back, the sooner the better. Rafa needs to stick to the 4-4-2 he played last night, with Cisse and Morientes as his preferred opening strikers, maybe bringing on Crouch later on to try a different approach.

With one competition less to worry about, lets hope there's a positive out of it and we can fare better domestically.
