  Ans: Probably. For someone who never used to like beer I'm drinking an awful lot of the stuff lately....and it's all Carlsberg :-p AHHHHH..sucked in by phony 'it'll improve your life...probably' ad campaign! ' Erk. Actually I can also blame Euro 2004 (more advertising). And our local. For being a female watching a football match is one thing..being a female watching a football match who doesn't drink beer? Quite another. So we drink beer, watch football and the boys observe us with a degree of mistrust and fascination, (it's a small town masquerading as a city you understand). But the necessary beer/footie combo aside...I have concluded cold beer on a hot day....niccccce. Perhaps an even more worrying tendency is the liking I've taken to the black stuff (actually it's dark brown but advertising again whadda y'know) ;) Yes. Guinness. Very much viewed as an 'old' drink..lately it's like 'hey I'm Irish...I'm in an Irish bar..what about drinking an Irish drink?'. Shocker ;)(ignoring the fact that the Earl of Iveagh is totally not Irish..once again advertising) I actually really like the stuff and I- hang on a sec...it's a penalty shoot out between Holland and Sweden... ..heh.. and Holland are through on sudden death..woo..*ahem*..they're the one team I've supported consistently throughout so they'll probably get knocked out next match ;-) Now where was I? Ah yes...black stuff that is actually brown, liking of. Yes I really actually like the taste and as the advertising will have you know..it's worth the wait.
;) Not that I'm one to heed advertising. Nope. Did I mention that I don't like advertising? :-p (it's really not obvious at all is it? ) Well 99.9% of it I dislike. A pure advert I don't really mind..in that I mean..if you're going to advertise a car..use the car to advertise itself. This whole attaching things and qualities to products in the relentless march of commercialism...not a fan of.
As for the 'celebrities' hocking themselves to the highest bidder..grr..don't get me started. An out of work actor I can forgive. Someone who has 20 million+ in the bank? I don't think so. 'You big sellout you' has sadly been my catchphrase du jour this year. Ack. Anyway..how did I get here? (how the hell..oh right..Christmas Eve last yeaaaaar! '..er sorry slipped into RENT there..ignore me (those of you who aren't ignoring me already of course).
Anyway..can.worms.everywhere. What else was it?..Ah yes Holland losing their next match. I have a fairly good indicator of this as apparently me bigging up Ivanisevic resulted in him crashing out less than 24 hours later so Henman should watch out on People's Sunday tomorrow. Pity I am not one of the people that can be at Wimbledon this particular Sunday...then again...
