of england, monkeys, and our people

O England. There was a time I wanted you to do well. There were those days of Gascoigne and McMannaman and Shearer and Tony Adams... I still remember when Beckham and Owen were young lads, when Gerrard came up to Liverpool full of energy...

This was the circus at Park Central in Tseung Kwan O before the start of the Germany v. England match tonight. I've been having to watch my football matches here because some TV station has bought the right to broadcast these matches. I thought football was for everybody. I'll stop that rant.

These girls and guys sitting on the chairs having their pictures taken are supposed to be celebrities. They were playing 'Simon says' on the stage to entertain the people before the game went on. Ours is a people that get entertained by watching supposed celebrities play 'Simon says' on stage.



Then we had to watch this monkey sing while the players (as shown in the screen) have already made their way onto the pitch. Ours is a people that get entertained by watching pussy-voiced boys in tight pants sing to pop beats played out of speakers.




At this point, I was wondering why this monkey is still on the stage singing a dull love pop tune while the countries' national anthems are happening. He was lucky I didn't have a tomato in my hand



After the match started and the attention was turned to the football match, some people went to the back of the stage to get autographs.
