........ hello to you out there in Armenia, USA and Norway and more ....... you may not know that tonight Liverpool won the European Football Cup coming from 3 - zero down.

It was half time when I got home from work and Joan greeted me with the bad news of the Liverpool defeat - as it seemed. I don't watch the game - it is iPod time for me. As extra time came - the game became gripping. I remember fro our visit to Liverpool this Monday, (see blogs below) all the flags on cars and seemingly every building. All in anticipation of the remote possibility of a win.

They did and Joy phoned from one of our favourite little Greek Restaurants in London saying they had been watching the match in there with an Egyptian commentary - huh? She said the drinks flowed .....

=========
HOT NEWS
=========

Joy also phoned to fix up for us two to go to Brussels to see the first U2 concert in Europe.
Fixed.
Done.

........ and then a touch of reality ........ the news came on screen and a man had just been released from prison.
He was imprisoned at the age of 15
He had been in prison for 25 years!
Released because of suspect evidence!
25 stinking years
bless this human person
I weep for him
Terrible terrible injustice.

His tee shirt had a message down the chest

" FREE at last FREE at last
THANK GOD
I AM
FREE
FREE at last"
