The Seattle Rock Orchestra Does the Arcade Fire
Line Out (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009
Tuesday night at the Fremont Abbey the Seattle Rock Orchestra, now well over 50 musicians strong, celebrated the Arcade Fire's beloved debut album Funeral by playing it start to finish to a sold out crowd. Their performance was so fantastic, so full of love, that I now want every show ever to be exactly like that one. EXACTLY like that one. I want dozens of violin, cello, and viola players to be crowded...

Fuel Cards - When To Use Them?
The Vehicles Blog (Free subscription) | 10/11/2009
By Ian Bell A fuel card subscriber's all important question is - 'Where can I use the gas card or fuel card?'. You can expect to answer this with some clear facts on fuel cards. Well, let us begin by defining what does a fixed-rate fuel card do. A fuel card is much like a credit card with the only difference being that the only merchandise you can buy using fuel card is fuel. Common Sense? Yes, indeed....

Michael Vaughan and the booze go boozing with teen-agers
Are you a left-arm Chinaman? (Free subscription) | 28/10/2009
In his recent autobiography, Michael Vaughan has admitted that, during the 2005 Ashes celebrations, the entire England team rocked up to 10 Downing Street and were disappointed by what they saw. They immediately identified the key problem: no booze. The infamous all-night bender, followed by tipsy open-topped bus fiesta had rather given the impression that drink was not wanting. But, after stumbling...

David Hopps: Cook must earn England captaincy
The Guardian (Free subscription) | 28/10/2009
Alastair Cook may be vice-captain in name but it is Paul Collingwood who most assume fulfils that role Without even a hint of debate or uncertainty, English cricket is heading inexorably towards an Alastair Cook captaincy. With every week that passes, the assumption grows that he will lead England in Bangladesh next spring. Nobody has thought to inquire whether this is actually a very good idea. Now...

Don’t they look so young!
Rock Cricket Club (Free subscription) | 23/10/2009
A little randomness for a cold, miserable, wet Thursday, but some brightness came as I skimmed through the Northumberland Gazette today. In the regular Remember when… feature, where news items and photos are reproduced from both 25 years and 50 years ago. So imagine my delight at spying, not only one, but three current Rock players looking incredibly young in a photo from their days playing...

Is There An 'England Club'?
Dipz Cricket World (Free subscription) | 12/10/2009
I read that perennially overlooked batsman Mark Ramprakash has attacked the apparent bias towards certain counties when it comes to selection for England squads. I'm a fan of Ramps and have been for a number of years but I'm mystified at his singling out of Warwickshire players as benefitting from the Ashley Giles factor. Just look at today's Test and one-day selections. All told, eleven of the eighteen...
