Chelsea cannot cannot afford to not win or else they'll surrender their title on that very day. Man Utd will face a tricky task against city rivals Man City. Man City has always been a nemesis for Man Utd.&lt;br /&gt;So it's 2 very significant derbies over the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiO93HpdLI/AAAAAAAAAIY/rwKxuUmIRnY/s1600-h/wengers_oceans11-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiO93HpdLI/AAAAAAAAAIY/rwKxuUmIRnY/s400/wengers_oceans11-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059951374769943730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I've got special guests in today's "The Big Game".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiJunHpdKI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/TUfX3rlzdIA/s1600-h/ESPN+studio.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiJunHpdKI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/TUfX3rlzdIA/s400/ESPN+studio.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059945615218799778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: Glad to have u guys on the show tonight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: Chelsea got to overcome their ChampsLeague heartache quickly to get a result against       Arsenal. Or they'll just give the title to Man Utd..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Anyway, lets just digress and talk about the game this morning. Chelsea won't really themselves and Mascherano was having a game of his night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;des: Mascherano's all along a good player. he was linked to arsenal at one time..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;boon: Garcia, benitez, arbeloa, xabi, they all speak spanish, communicates well with mascherano.. he got friends there..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: yeah...he screwed himself when he went to westham. and he made a mockery over his transfer. But, he was simply outstanding throughout the whole night. Des would be slightly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt; disappointed that pool went through. U were rooting for Chelsea wasn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;des: yeah..wad to do? when the penalty shootout came..i knew pool were gonna win it..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: yeah..excellent penalty record... now its 10 shootout wins out of 11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;boon: liverpool is a cup team... but i rather man utd to face chelsea in the final than liverpool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby:  man utd in a strong position to go thru, but it is still anybody's game. Des and I of course would be supporting milan. But now, lets just get back to the big game on sunday. Boon, from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt; the display, do u think Chelsea was trying to hold back against liverpool to get a result against Arsenal on Sunday?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;boon: i would say no..look at the lineup against bolton.6 regulars rested against bolton..if they wanted the league..why rest? they want the CL...more than anything else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: yeah... roman's dying for the CL trophy..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;boon: if this weekend lose arsenal...den the decision to rest against bolton for liverpool will prove to be mourinho's worst ever...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;des: if arsenal beats chelsea this sunday, its as good as arsenal helping man utd to lift the premiership trophy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;boon: i'll be cheering for arsenal...for the first time!! Go Ade!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: Man Utd won't be having it easy as well against city rivals... Man City&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;boon: Man City's purpose in the premiership is just to perform well in 2 games in a season. Perform well at Old Trafford and perform well at home against Man Utd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: With the performances lately from Chelsea, its hard to see Chelsea getting points at the Emirates... However, being Chelsea, they are a force to be reckoned with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;here's why:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiRInHpdMI/AAAAAAAAAIg/CvzB0sZzoIA/s1600-h/caution25nf.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiRInHpdMI/AAAAAAAAAIg/CvzB0sZzoIA/s400/caution25nf.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059953758476793026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiRcXHpdNI/AAAAAAAAAIo/JBM4GvTpzUw/s1600-h/darrensmith1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiRcXHpdNI/AAAAAAAAAIo/JBM4GvTpzUw/s400/darrensmith1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059954097779209426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjieVHHpdaI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/Yz40Ej2QqO4/s1600-h/robbenmarkxy4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjieVHHpdaI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/Yz40Ej2QqO4/s400/robbenmarkxy4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059968266876319138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiSnHHpdQI/AAAAAAAAAJA/0b0iYoaC57A/s1600-h/untitled2rn1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiSnHHpdQI/AAAAAAAAAJA/0b0iYoaC57A/s400/untitled2rn1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059955381974430978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiSnHHpdPI/AAAAAAAAAI4/jHj3876RmUU/s1600-h/untitled1rn1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiSnHHpdPI/AAAAAAAAAI4/jHj3876RmUU/s400/untitled1rn1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059955381974430962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiR7XHpdOI/AAAAAAAAAIw/4webfJxB07A/s1600-h/untitled3xk2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiR7XHpdOI/AAAAAAAAAIw/4webfJxB07A/s400/untitled3xk2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059954630355154146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiSnXHpdRI/AAAAAAAAAJI/t1qSnfweIIU/s1600-h/3999.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiSnXHpdRI/AAAAAAAAAJI/t1qSnfweIIU/s400/3999.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059955386269398290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiaAHHpdXI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/OTk3E-8Ipvk/s1600-h/brettturner.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/RjiaAHHpdXI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/OTk3E-8Ipvk/s400/brettturner.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059963508052555122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;fabby: I still miss the good old days where times were just much simpler.

Well, as most of u would have known, the result was 2-2. A very disappointing result. We could have won it if those 3 shots that hit the post could have gone in the net. Arsenal has been so unlucky in front of goal this season. Against liverpool was the same story, hitting the post 3 times as well. Anyway the essence of this isn't gonna be the review of how the scums can be proud of their performance despite not winning, and draw against under-strength gunners is a magnificent achievement. Scums fans, listen, you have not beaten arsenal, not since nov 1999 when arsenal lost 2-1 away.. Try harder next season, but your efforts will just be as futile, cos the game on saturday showed the gulf between your team and the gunners.. despite the result. Ok, back to what i wanna say, i'm digressing again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was at the bar, and there were English-Gooners among the crowd. When Jenas scored the injury time equaliser, the bar erupted. (Due to the fact there were more neutral fans who wanted to see goals and drama) So, there was this jackass at the end of the bar who decided to tease the english-gooner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;jackass: "F*** Off Arsenal!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;So one gooner wasn't too particular happy about the comments made by that jackass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;angry-gooner: "Oh Yeah? How long did u all need to score?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jackass: "At least an englishman scored!

English fans (I mean real english-english fans), they seem to be blaming their international woes on clubs like arsenal, whose first eleven including the bench can be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; made up of non-englishmen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/Ri7HbHHpdII/AAAAAAAAAIA/kra84ClZkig/s1600-h/porto06122006_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/Ri7HbHHpdII/AAAAAAAAAIA/kra84ClZkig/s400/porto06122006_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057198700165166210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;I wonder if blame is a natural reaction of an englishmen..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor World Cup showing?...

England is just as good as Holland or Spain can be.. No doubt, england has the best football league in the world (my opinion). Just like Spain, they have a tough league, but the spaniards hasn't delivered in the international stage. I really wonder why England think's they'll win the world cup every time? They can't beat Sweden for nearly 40 years, and sweden doesn't have a strong league like the EPL.. Swedish players are making it big outside sweden. Who have England got who succeed outside the EPL?  Hargreaves maybe, but he'll most likely come to the premiership next season in a red outfit. France, Brazil, they're all recent worldcup winners who has done well without a strong domestic league. (with exception for italy)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; But even italians has made it big out of the EPL..e.g. Zola. But who (English) has really made it out of England?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/Ri7Ha3HpdHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/dvAneg4AoiM/s1600-h/456378_mediumsquare.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/Ri7Ha3HpdHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/dvAneg4AoiM/s400/456378_mediumsquare.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057198695870198898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;In my opinion, England's woes are simple. LACK OF TALENT. Can anyone tell me other than 1966, has England ever really dominated the international scene? In 1986, Maradona single handedly danced through the english midfield,defence, and rounded Shilton to score... In 1994, England wasn't even in the World Cup. Euro 96 was one of the better performance from England but still not good enough to beat the would be champions Germany...southgate was the poor scapegoat then.. Before 1996, the EPL was dominated by english players wasn't it? And foreign players was scarce.. Who did they blame for their non-international dominance then? The standard between 10, 20 years ago and now hasn't much changed.. the standard has always been the same. England are a strong team..but not a super power like Brazil or Argentina..&lt;br /&gt;You can blame Arsenal for not giving local youths or local players enough chance. Would u prefer a 300k Fabregas or a 18million Carrick? Arsenal do not have the financial might like Man Utd or Chelsea.. We can just splurge on an unknown talent for 20million. Even Arsenal's up and coming young english star, Walcott, may end up with a total transfer of not less than 15million.&lt;br /&gt;English players are too over-priced and most certainly, England are over-rated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why are english football players so expensive? Maybe its a supply and demand thing.. many fans seem to want successful english players in their teams, complaining too many non-english&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; players in the EPL.. and they're only limited decent ones out there.. Therefore, when a club comes sniffing around, they jack up the price up to an obscene amount because they know they can get away with it just because the player's english.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how about blaming english fans (like the jackass mentioned above) for england's international woes? ;P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. came across an interesting pic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/Ri7HbHHpdJI/AAAAAAAAAII/xEj-Q-jkxwg/s1600-h/20051219-rooney-y-cristiano.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/Ri7HbHHpdJI/AAAAAAAAAII/xEj-Q-jkxwg/s400/20051219-rooney-y-cristiano.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057198700165166226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;so now who's really to blame?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8077592239905466934-8148153374192013405?l=parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/feeds/8148153374192013405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8077592239905466934&amp;postID=8148153374192013405' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/8148153374192013405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/8148153374192013405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/2007/04/northen-monkey-southern-fairy.html' title='northen monkey?

Was there with my old time buddy Mr. Koh Lixian. Freaking crowded, but yeah, it was expected since it was the last of the season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melbourne's still pretty warm.. so got myself a nice cooling carlton draught in the market.&lt;br /&gt;Its pretty happening in the queen vic market..Plenty of food from all around the world. There's even Bubble Tea.. haahaa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were lots of stalls selling really really awesome stuff. If it was in singapore, i would have bought tons of stuff. I really wanted to get nostalgic posters, pictures for my room but couldn't find it in singapore, saw it in melbourne was so happy, but i didn't buy it cause it was cumbersome to bring it back home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we walked, there were happy music filling the night sky. Funky 9 piece electric Afro-fusion band featuring King Marong, playing afro beat and smooth jazz-reggae grooves. Many of the local lads were grooving in front of the stage.. The reggae added a kind of festive mood to my boring midweek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReV6TBDbKYI/AAAAAAAAAAc/mAYfOIFf-UE/s1600-h/IMG_4489.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReV6TBDbKYI/AAAAAAAAAAc/mAYfOIFf-UE/s320/IMG_4489.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5036566225402669442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReWQRRDbKbI/AAAAAAAAAA0/R-2aBDIpIx8/s1600-h/IMG_4487.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReWQRRDbKbI/AAAAAAAAAA0/R-2aBDIpIx8/s320/IMG_4487.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5036590384593709490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReWRvBDbKcI/AAAAAAAAAA8/XEhYcDEIHLs/s1600-h/IMG_4486.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReWRvBDbKcI/AAAAAAAAAA8/XEhYcDEIHLs/s320/IMG_4486.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5036591995206445506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReWSMRDbKdI/AAAAAAAAABE/BJoUbCNV4ns/s1600-h/IMG_4490.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JLQ84VhSPiE/ReWSMRDbKdI/AAAAAAAAABE/BJoUbCNV4ns/s320/IMG_4490.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5036592497717619154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Alright, here marks the end of my first entry of 2007.

Some corporate photos of our main client, which is a big big company, a household name everyone will know. We're supposed to be there at 1.30 but we reached there at 2pm. Rushed like mad. So when we got there, everyone that's expecting us to take their photos, were rather "pissed".&lt;br /&gt;We set the place right, put up lightings and backdrop. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;My boss&lt;/span&gt; is an experienced photographer and of course, he does the shoots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;lights.....perfect!&lt;br /&gt;backdrop.....perfect!&lt;br /&gt;camera......perfect!&lt;br /&gt;first model's smile.....perfect!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;"Ok, smile........&lt;/span&gt;"       *click* plus *sound of shutter*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the pressing the button on the cam, he looked up and looked at me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;"Fabian, wo qu na dong xi, deng yi xia!"&lt;/span&gt; (Fabian, i'm gonna get something, hold on for a second).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;And so, he left the room to get his "stuff"........ or did he?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;After 5 mins.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Client: Where's your boss?&lt;br /&gt;Me: He told me he went to get something.&lt;br /&gt;Client: (starting to look impatient)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 mins later.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The door swung open, and my gaffer came back with a big big sheepish grin, as he smiled to everyone in the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss: Fabian, help me get some stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Me: Ok... (followed him out)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss:(speaking to everyone in the room) Just give me another 10mins. I still have to carry something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so we went out of the room... He closed the door and turned to me.. His grin disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss: Damn, I didn't bring my CF (memory card)  card out. I tried searching for one around here, couldn't find it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: (my goodness)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We drove to Great World City to buy a CF card. Oh man.... how on earth can he ever forget the most important thing? Its as bad as bringing a camera without a film.&lt;br /&gt;Eventually he managed to get one and we had to rush back to the venue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In the car....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss: This is the first time this sort of thing has ever happened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss: Ok fabian, u concentrate on driving. I need to get back into the stress free mode in order to take good pictures later on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss: Not many people can switch back so quickly after panicking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Boss: But i can. I'm well-trained.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the irony? first time ever happened? well-trained to such situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't really believe its really his first time this screw up has ever happened. My boss is no stranger to sticky situations whenever he panics. 24 hours before this tragic comedy took place, again, he was late for an appointment. He was rushing off, and we left the office together. He had to lock the door, not having enough hands, his idea was to put his portfolio on the parapet so that he could lock the door, but he was so panicky, that when he released his portfolio from his hands, the portfolio did not land on the parapet, instead it went out of the building and went down.....  He literally "threw" his documents out of the building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats my boss....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8077592239905466934-6203588295208872994?l=parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/feeds/6203588295208872994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8077592239905466934&amp;postID=6203588295208872994' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/6203588295208872994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/6203588295208872994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/2006/12/mi-job-mi-boss-mi-day.html' title='mi job, mi boss, mi day'/><author><name>about me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17559912039848185299</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/fabfish/DSC00203.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077592239905466934.post-8165172616956774049</id><published>2006-12-04T19:03:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2006-12-04T19:04:06.437+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Party in Melbourne</title><content type='html'>Sorta missed the partying in melbourne..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;embed src="http://widget-45.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="site=widget-45.slide.com&amp;channel=216172782114822469&amp;cy=bl&amp;il=1" width="400" height="300" name="flashticker" align="middle"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?id=216172782114822469&amp;cy=bl&amp;tt=16&amp;at=0&amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-45.slide.com/p1/216172782114822469/bl_t016_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?id=216172782114822469&amp;cy=bl&amp;tt=16&amp;at=0&amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-45.slide.com/p2/216172782114822469/bl_t016_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be back...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8077592239905466934-8165172616956774049?l=parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/feeds/8165172616956774049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8077592239905466934&amp;postID=8165172616956774049' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/8165172616956774049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/8165172616956774049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/2006/12/party-in-melbourne_04.html' title='Party in Melbourne'/><author><name>about me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17559912039848185299</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/fabfish/DSC00203.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077592239905466934.post-6041517217438892223</id><published>2006-12-01T05:52:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2006-12-01T06:22:40.383+11:00</updated><title type='text'>parody en route to home</title><content type='html'>Glad to be back in singapore... The vessel that brought me home was Emirates. "Fly Emirates" is the way to go. heh... Right i'm being lame, just a bit of advertising for my team's sponsor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. everything on a plane is single-serving...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people I meet on each flight? They're single-serving friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to the story. Sitting beside me was a black man, probably in his mid-thirties. He was my single-serving friend. My single-serving friend could have been a pleasant looking  singaporean girl. You see, my seat number was originally 19G. So when i went to 19G, there was this man sitting on my seat. (beside that girl) If she was the single-serving friend, i'm sure after chatting on the plane, we'll be more than single-serving friends. Could meetup for coffee and stuff..... blah blah. I didn't think there was anypoint insisting having my original seat. So, i just took his seat, which was 18G (at least i still have my isle seat).  Anyway, beside my new seat was empty, so there might be another chance for a surprise. Well.. in the end, as u know, the character introduced earlier took the seat beside me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, i'm digressing again. Back to the story. So, he became my single serving friend. We chatted..and i came to know that he's actually from Ghana. But he's a citizen in melbourne. Immediately, when i hear Ghana, the next thing that came into my mind at that point of time was "Tony Yeboah". Hahahaha...  Ok, the character has got no name here, cause we didn't introduce ourselves... All i know is he's a musician in melbourne and plays afro-jazz music. So we talked lots music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitting by the isle has its cons. Whenever the person beside u has to visit the toilet, you have to stop whatever u're doing and make way for him/her to proceed. So when he had to visit the toilet, he gave me his butt to my face as he squeezed his way out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's a question of etiquette.&lt;br /&gt;Do you give the butt?&lt;br /&gt;or&lt;br /&gt;Do ur give the crotch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Either way i wouldn't mind if the single-serving friend was a lady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8077592239905466934-6041517217438892223?l=parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/feeds/6041517217438892223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8077592239905466934&amp;postID=6041517217438892223' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/6041517217438892223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/6041517217438892223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/2006/12/parody-en-route-to-home.html' title='parody en route to home'/><author><name>about me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17559912039848185299</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/fabfish/DSC00203.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077592239905466934.post-2312843881486843976</id><published>2006-11-27T16:33:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2006-11-27T17:36:31.960+11:00</updated><title type='text'>bar room jokes</title><content type='html'>Every weekend, i'll make my regular visit to the bar in backpacker's inn to watch my arsenal games.

There are too many interesting encounters with strangers in the bar, too many to share.. So i'll just share 2 here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was once i was there to catch the Man Utd - Arsenal game. There was this aussie so called man utd fan beside me, by the name of Owen, and we had a short conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Owen: Who's that standing in goal for Man Utd? (refering to Kuszczak)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Me: He's the second choice goalkeeper. I don't know how to pronounce his name. He's Polish. ( I meant his nationality)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Owen: Oh.. No wonder he didn't look like van der saar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Owen's mate: Who's that guy? (refering to Kuszczak again)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Owen: His name is Polish...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Owen's mate: Ohhhhhh.... (With that 'i get it' look)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So called man utd fan huh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was another time i was catching the Reading - Arsenal game. I was wearing my gunner shirt, so i sat with a bunch of gooners. There was this brit guy from london, i couldn't remember his name. Lets just call him Brit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;(Henry was fouled outside the box.

The rest of the gooners had their jackets covering their                            shirt so he can't see from the back)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Me: (Why am i getting involved in this?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Brit: (yelling back to stranger) F**K YOU! We have... ( started counting heads) We have... 5 ... no (counted again) we     have 7.   7 ok? (made the '7' handsign as he spoke).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Me: (Covering me face with my right hand.

"FOOTBALL? WE'RE AT THE SAME PLACE. C U THERE SOON!" I wonder what's with the all upper cased message. His messages are always in upper cased.&lt;br /&gt;They're back from their NZ vacation..  finally, able to play some football. Haven't been playing football since after the exams.. really missed the regular sunday football with them. We don't just play with 3 people. We'll just go to the same old field... pass and stroke the ball around, juggle here and there, fool around first, and later just join any teams that are already there. Everyweek, we'll play different types of football.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was once we played with a HK team. Damn it, there were lots of wasted running playing with them... They don't pass as often, more of individual play. Damn it, those off the ball running which was useless.. They'll just bring the ball, try to beat the opponents before releasing a shot. That's what most of them do, they don't pass. If they lose possession, someone picks up the ball and its the same ol' story again. It was difficult trying to play with them. You'll (or it's just me) be out of breath really fast.. Anyway, i admit i'm getting weak..haha..ever since i stepped foot on melbourne, other than football, i've never exercised...Wahaha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's football was good. 7 a-side. This time we teamed up with some locals and other asians and we played against a Chinese Team. We lost cos we couldn't gel and we looked more like united nations team trying to adapt to each other. Our team had aussies, non-chinese asians, singaporean(me),  swede (mo), german (florian). We were outplayed. Its not because we were lacking in ability...its more like we couldn't gel and couldn't communicate well, the opposition were damn gung ho too.&lt;br /&gt;The aussies love to play long balls. The last man will hold the ball, urge everyone to get up, before latching those long and high balls. Back home, playing with broz, seldom play the longballs..most of the time we played the ball on the ground and kept it short. But here, the long ball rate is amazing!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;If football's intended to play in the clouds,  grass wouldn't be planted on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i had fun today...

Rented some old time films. Films like "Godfather", "Goodfellas", "Donnie Brasco" really got me interested in the crime genre movies, especially when it involves the mafia.&lt;br /&gt;The internal workings of the Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra, is really interesting. Let me share with you how it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mafia is not primarilly an organisation of murderers. First and foremost, the mafia is made up of theives. It is driven by greed and controlled by fear. Everything is done to make money. Murder is secondary, the tool of enforcement, the threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The five major mafia families are based in New York City: Gambino, Bonnano, Lucchese,  Genovese, Colombo.  (If u're thinking about Corleone, thats fictitious... hahahaha.. ) Each family is run by a boss. Each boss has absolute power and authority of his family. A simple yes or no, a nod of head, or a waggle of his finger, he has the power of death over anybody in his organisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beneath each boss in a family, each level of the chain of command requires total respect of those below. Each family has an underboss, also known as a consiglieri (counselor), who mediates disputes and advises the boss.&lt;br /&gt;Below the boss and consiglieri, are the capo (captains). There are many captains in a family. Each capo has many soldiers under him. Soldiers are the lowest level of made guys.&lt;br /&gt;A made guy, also known as a wiseguy is someone who has been inducted into the mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are a lot of "connected" guys who are associated with the made guys, but themselves are not made. To  become a "Made man" the inductee had to  have 100% Italian roots. To attack, let alone kill, a made man for any reason without the permission of those mafioso higher up in the organisation is seen as a sin which will normally meet with severe retaliation, in many cases regardless of whether the perpetrator has a legitimate grievance. The made man was traditionally seen as untouchable by the law as well as by his fellow criminals, a man to be respected and feared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're a "connected" guy, in partnership with wiseguys (some soldiers or  capos), &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; you are subject to many of the same rules as everybody else in the family. You have to give respect and share your profits. But they don't necessary have to share with you. And you are not entitled the same respect and protection given to wiseguys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not glorifying the mafioso.. its just interesting to see how their kind of world looks like that's so different from ours. And since this is my first official entry, i wanted to share something thats really interesting.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8077592239905466934-5174495314381137069?l=parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/feeds/5174495314381137069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8077592239905466934&amp;postID=5174495314381137069' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/5174495314381137069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8077592239905466934/posts/default/5174495314381137069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://parola-di-fabby.blogspot.com/2006/11/la-cosa-nostra.html' title='La Cosa Nostra'/><author><name>about me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17559912039848185299</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/fabfish/DSC00203.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
