February 2006 – Page 2

Leyton Orient 0-0 Carlisle

It was an extremely high quality game, with Carlisle dominating at the beginning and then Orient putting in a strong performance for the rest of the match. Both goalkeepers were tested multiple times, and certainly kept their respective teams in it. The result could have gone either way, but it didn’t. It was a good performance, however, with the new striker Conner showing some good skill. It was especially refreshing to see some off-the-ball movement which is often lacking in this league. Simpson in particular had a very good game, and a few times the player off the ball would make space by puling a defender away.

Overall, the O’s should have had it, but there wasn’t a lot in it.

It should only happen in films

From a BBC article about Islamic hackers defacing Danish websites to protest about the cartoon publications.

There was even evidence that the protests had brought one older hacker out of retirement just to make his feelings known.

An old hacker who comes out of retirement to do one last job? My money’s on Client Eastwood to play him when the film comes out.

Mixed metaphor of the day

But it remains to be seen whether the cloud of uncertainty currently plaguing their build-up will dog their vision on the track.

Does uncertainty come in clouds? Do clouds generally go round plaguing things? Do clouds ‘dog’ anything?

From an article on the BBC site about Renault’s Formula 1 prospects in 2006.

Google bans BMW

Google has reduced BMW’s page ranking to 0 because of its use of doorway pages (pages full of links that are pretty much useless to the user). Unfortunately, the article isn’t going to help genuine SEO companies much:

A BMW spokesman admitted the company used the doorway pages, a practice known as search engine optimisation and banned by Google.

Another quite low-scoring week all-round, possibly aided by Arsenal not really playing many of their players and both Chelsea and Liverpool deciding to let in a goal. Anyway, the Telegraph Fantasy Football Password for 1st February until end of 7th February is NAME.
