But the real eclipse of the moon will take part in the night from Saturday to Sunday. It will be a partial one with 80% darkness of the moon. The best moments you may see between 11:10 p.m and 1:21 a.m (for the British Isles: 10:10 p.m and 0:21 a.m). That's maybe the first day ever I wish that there will be no clouds upon the sky.
From Tuesday morning I am away on my way to Dublin for my one week holidays. I hope I'll come back healthy and be able to tell some good stories.
Bye so far and till soon! Enjoy the first matches of this season's PL!!

My mood is a bit parted at the moment, because in about ... let me see ... one and a half hours there will be the starting whistle for the UEFA Cup qualifying first round match between EB/Streymur and Manchester City. My mood is situated something between excited (because this means the beginning of the new season), curious (because I want to know how different the boys will play after the last 8-1 debacle in the PL) and frightened (because the performance from the 8-1 debacle is still too vivid into my mind). At the very moment I hope they will win and so have a good result for the second match in about two weeks.

I wanted to write about days ago, but maybe I am able to write in years, because this topic is currently the main subject here in Dresden. What else as the years ago planned new bridge? It feels to me as if this topic is the only political subject since I've moved here.
When the bridge was planned there was a referendum before the final decision by the parliament and I confess, that I've voted with 'yes' - surely because it certainly will ease traffic congestion. But what we didn't know there was the fact, that to build the bridge would mean lose the World Heritage Site status of the Dresden Elbe Valley. So, the citizen's decicion finally was 'yes'.
Then the fact with the World Heritage Site status went public and suddenly almost every citizen of Dresden turned his decicion into 'no'. If this new bridge would mean the loss of the WHS status, than we say: NEVER! Meanwhile - at the last act so far, no compromise about the appearance will change the decicion of the WHS representatives:
( Dresden Bridge Ultimatum )
An absolute ridiculousness about the whole thing is, that a tunnel would cost the same as the bridge and wouldn't bring the WHS status in danger. The Dresden parliament is such a child!

It's DUNNE!! And it was in time. I'm very delighted and obviously it was almost clear two weeks or so it is something different to know that he REALLY did it! So, good news that - now we can look forward to a good season to come.

Predictions for 2008/09
Everyone who knows me will know that I'm mad on predict football matches. Last seasons I've made predictions on paper, but next season will be the first time, I am the host of five different predictions online. If you'll follow the links you'll be straight on one of these. It's a German page, but I'll post the English version. If you prefer German, French or Italian you have the ability to click on the little flag up the page. I for myself can't wait on the new season and I hope there will be some of you joining me in the predictions.
One important thing at last: We don't play for money, just for fun - so, don't be afraid - you can't loose house, car or wife ;)

whathobertie thank you!! I currently have created a community for everything around the English football referee Howard Webb. It's still under working progress, but I would be happy about some members, maybe referees for themselves to talk about refereeing, football, maybe Yorkshire, the home countryside of Mr Webb and, of course, Mr Howard Webb and his job himself.
Just click on

Now I'm sitting in front of the institute's computer waiting of our weekly meeting. That's always boring. Every minute another collegue joins the room and brings more noise innit. I can't concentrate myself very well at the moment. But anyway, also I'm a bit sad, because Sven-Goran Eriksson is the ex-manager of ManCity and Richard Dunne is in discussion for several clubs, including Portsmouth and Celtic. I don't want both, but the one fact is now reality and on the other I don't want to think of.
Because of
whathobertieI'm now totally irritated with my sense of music. She notices in almost every sentence she writes Coldplay and their new (on 13th June outcoming) album "Viva La Vida". In the last ten years I have ignorned succesfully both Coldplay and their music. But now, on last Saturday, I've heard and seen the video to "Violet Hill" on MTV and was totally impressed. I have enjoyed it and bought it promptly on itunes. Now I'm asking myself very scared if something happened to me, if I'm just got older and now favourite softer music. So maybe I will buy the whole album and will know then, if that is my music or just this very song.Oh, by the way, the European Championships will start in five days and I'm not interested at all.

After that we went to a student's club drinking some beer and chatting a while - on stuff far from football. It was 11:30 pm when I was at home again - again with no chance on buying some food to eat. My whole kitchen is empty, but maybe I can loose some weight in that circumstances. I haven't not much to loose, you know, but one or two pounds less probably would help of getting more endurance and power for our football university tournament at 14th June 2008. There will be two groups à four teams - every team of one group plays against all others (like at EUROs) - the best two of each group play the half final, and then the final. The price will be a challenge cup, and I hope we will get it. A detailed report on this will follow, maybe with a few action photographs.

And I have an announcement to make:
I want to create an own betting community for next Premier League season 08/09, that will appear in here. But at first I have to know, if someone is interested. It will be just for fun, so I don't want any commerce or playing for money - all you can earn is pride and honour, and you may have fun if you'll win. So leave a comment if you are interested, that I can plan the whole thing

I'm back from my Doomsday last Tuesday at Braunschweig, where I've passed my Ancient Greek exam with a 'B' (for my UK friends) resp. a 'good' (for my German friends). I'm very glad about it, because it was my very last try ever - if I had failed I hadn't continue my thesis any longer. It have had been a total waste of two years. But now I've passed and I'm very happy about it.
But yesternight it wasn't that good for everything: my nerves, my mood, my neighbour Tony (who is a die-hard ManUtd fan - God forgive him!) and so on. I've discovered, that I still have some fan-feelings for JT (also Petr - so I will support the Czech Republic during the European Championship because of the missing of England and Ireland). So I thought today why you can't support two teams. Isn't it possible to love two clubs at the same time? I mean - the love you give for a football club (or any other sport club) isn't the same you give to your partner in real life. So, there are a few players I like in both clubs - Richard Dunne and John Terry at the very top because both of them are the very heart of their clubs and they're would be a very deep cut if they would move somewhere else.
What I want to say with all this: In the next days I will move forward into a more personal Livejournal, where I support both clubs, ManCity AND Chelsea (
suilven, I think, you will understand me). I will add some more icons, will have a new surface and so on. And I will open my LJ again for all users (not all entries, but some).So, bye for now - I think tomorrow I will start the transformation - would be nice to hear some feedback about that.
