BBC News story about David Bowie - good to see a mainstream musician in touch with the reality of how people consume, enjoy and use his music. Power to ya, David!

The World Ice Hockey Championships are taking place in Prague this week. Canada opened with a poor performance against Austria, and the only other real hurdle in their group is Switzerland on Wednesday, as they should beat France pretty easily tomorrow. Great Britain don't play in the "World Championships", they are in Division 1. 16 countries play in the World Championships each year, the rest play in divisions and two teams from Division 1 get promoted to the World Championships for the following year, and two teams from the championships get demoted to the divisional format for the following year. Britain had a close shave, almost being demoted from Division 1 this time round. Good job too, else they'd be playing high quality teams such as Spain, Israel, Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. All well known for their ice hockey ...

The Kraftwerk concert was good - made me feel like getting out my CDs, which are in storage. Pah. No further musical outings planned at the moment, but we'll see. Toronto isn't served as well as London for tours and stuff. No way would Sunscreem make it here. Waaah!

Leafs not a good bet for winning their series against Philadelphia. Three key players out - Sundin, Nolan and Nieuwendyk. They felt it bad, and have two home games to save their sorry asses and keep the cup dream alive in Toronto.

Subjects coming up in the blog later - grocery shopping, weird words & phrases, football (not soccer), currency notes and coins, and fast food. To pre-empt this, join in the discussions at the messageboard.
