I wrote a short time ago that I watched the first England match in the World Cup in Chinese, in a hotel room in Ottawa.
Last night I watched the highlights of England beating Equador in my hotel room in Tel Aviv. In Hebrew.
It’s not quite the same.

I saw on Chris Neals blog a cool feature from Clustrmaps – almost real time statistics for visitors and location.

An interesting campaign from the Organic Consumers Association to pursuade Starbucks to stop using ‘crappy hormone filled milk’.
The time has come to kick rBGH off the market, once and for all. If Starbucks, a major buyer of milk, were to reject rBGH dairy products, we could effectively eliminate it from the market.
Similarly, while Starbucks has slowly bought more certified Fair Trade coffee, it represents only a very small percentage of their total coffee (about 3.7%). Starbucks rarely offers certified Fair Trade coffee as their coffee of the day, nor has it followed its own policy of brewing Fair Trade coffee, on demand.
Kinda fits with my earlier Starbucks post..

The joke has always been that Manchester United fans are never from Manchester.
Here’s my proof.

This is Kim from South Korea. He loves Manchester United.
Also – look at the police car with the ‘not authorised flags’ on top. Surely they are the €5 from the Aral petrol station..
