OK, so the World Cup is over now and we can turn our attention to other, IMPORTANT, concerns, like how the hell did that octopus in Oberhausen manage to correctly predict the outcome of every single game??
Seriously, can we get Paul over here to act as chief economist at the Central Bank?
Anyway, congrats to Spain, I’m told it was a deserved victory, even though my people were all rooting for Holland. I wouldn’t know — all I know is how INFINITELY relieved I am that I won’t have to listen to the 0.19-0.57 part of this frigging song any more:
I mean, it’s a cool song and everything, but the fact that the Icelandic WC experts on RÚV chose it as their theme tune [and those few seconds ONLY … the least they could have done IMHO at the end of the match was to play the whole freaking video just once] has totally ruined it for me, Debbie Harry’s rad orange jumpsuit notwithstanding.

Yup – great song and all that, but I can understand your sense of relief… But how’s this for a a gobsmacker – Debbie Harry was 65 at the beginning of the month! Doesn’t she look terrific??
I don’t get why they’d use that song for football. At 0:19, sounds an awful lot like Joy Division. Hadn’t noticed that before.
At 65 Debbie Harry is one neat lady. Good on you for choosing her instead of someone like Lady Gaga. Oh, and did you know that if you put a crab in a screw top jar an octopus will have that jar open in next to no time. How’s that for problem solving. So yes, let octopussy rule over your banking system!!! If it can get a crab out of a screw topped jar, then maybe it could also get the genie out of the bottle!

Why did the FBI take so long with the KGB answer they were having too much fun. Invisible ink,bag drops etc hilarious ha ha.
Plus I think the Murphy’s should be given real Irish Passports as opposed to fake ones.
Whats it these days assassinating hamas in dubai why do they need an Irish passport can’t they just use an Icelandic one, OK,OK I realise you guys would not get through the door these days.
I love Blondie, ty for sharing the video, now I have to download the song to the ipod, because it’s going to be stuck in my head if I don’t.
How dare they not show & play the whole video & song, that would drive me to crazy town.
jpeeps- so true about Debbie, she looks amazing.
IMPORTANT things – yes!!!
For example: Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was sentenced in Iran for adultery. Capital punishment: death by stoning (or substitute). She (Azerbijani) has always denied charges. Besides, if at all, the “adultery” is said to have taken place several years aftyer her husband’s had died.
Don’t rely on me. Verify with international media, websites, etc..
Wouldn’t it be IMPERATIF for the Icelandic government to take an official, public stand ? This is not to say one should take yet another stand in defense of Western values, concepts of what is right or wrong – but against barbarism which is not inherent to a great culture such as the Iranian.
IMPERATIF – no !?
Cheers,

Spain did have the best team, IMO. The Dutch did have the right idea (whack ’em), but could not deliver on their opportunities. In the end Spain got what they deserved: victory.
