Yesterday Petter and I went to see Ghost Dog in concert. I’ve previous blogged that I really enjoy their music and that is still true, but yesterdays concert was a bit of a disappointment. For some reason I don’t think Ivan, the vocalist, did not use his full potential. Whether he was drunk or just had a bad day I’m actually not sure, but for some reason I think he could have been singing better than he did. But, still, it was a good concert…

Is soccer a top level sport?
Is soccer a top level sport? For some that would be true, but all in all I would say that the answer is no, no, no! One of the top clubs in Norway, Lillestrøm has just fired their coach…or the official version is that he has resigned. According to VgTv the resason for this is that the team players are mentaly and fysicaly worn out because of hard training. WTF???
It just confirms what Tor Arne Hetland wrote http://www.sprintgutta.no/sak/000187.asp. I also recommend reading this article http://www.sprintgutta.no/sak/000192.asp which Espen notified me about a couple of weeks ago.
I’m convinced that I spend more time doing efficient traning right now than most of theese players do…
So – I would say: No!

The best hangover song
Whenever I have a hangover http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangover the best song to listen to if you ask me is Pink Floyd “Mother”. Not sure how many days I have managed to crawl into the livingroom and put this song on just to crawl back to my bed again.
[video:youtube:wBkTUzKAiXQ]Just for the record, I do not have a hangover today !!
Vestfold Rundt yesterday
Yesterday we participated in Vestfold Rundt, 165 kilometers around Vestfold county. By far my worst experience this year, hope it will stay that way 🙂 I guess the need for me to sleep on a towel due to pretty much sweat the night before had something to do with it, but never the less, I managed to keep up with the speed and passed the finish line with my team.

Early warning sound mirrors
Was surfing around earlier today when I stumbled accross this guy planning his U.K holiday based on tips he got on his Wiki http://www.mentalkipple.com/myukholiday.
Someone had tiped him about going to see the early warning sound mirrors.
A forerunner of Radar, acoustic mirrors were built on the south and northeast coasts of England between about 1916 and the 1930s. The ‘listening ears’ were intended to provide early warning of incoming enemy aeroplanes and airships about to attack coastal towns. With the development of faster aircraft the sound mirrors became less useful, as an aircraft would be within sight by the time it had been located, and radar finally rendered the mirrors obsolete.

Foreign accent syndrome
We where watching the Omid Djalili-show as usual this Thursday evening. He had a joke about a judge having a special problem, he had the “Foreign accent syndrome”. Afterwards he told that it is actually a real syndrome. I looked it up on Wikipedia, read more about it there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_accent_syndrome
To the untrained ear, those with the syndrome sound as though they speak their native languages with a foreign accent; for example, an American native speaker of English might sound as though they speak with a British accent…
