I had the privilege of taking in a national rugby 'friendly' at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen a couple weekends ago.
It was another great Scottish experience.
It was another great Scottish experience.
I was really impressed by the the crowd's vigour for the Scottish Anthem, 'The Flower of Scotland'
And what an honour to get to see the traditional Samoan pre-game ritual, the 'Haka'
Scotland beat Samoa 19-16 on a last second kick.
It was cold and snowing. Apparently this was the first time some of the Samoan team had ever seen snow. I missed about 20 minutes of the game in a 'queue' for a 'Bovril' (a hot meat drink. yes. that's what I said), having overestimated both the length of half-time and the speediness of the service. A truly memorable event nonetheless.

Hello Jon,
I am doing a reader's booklist on "christian thinkers" at work and looking for some suggestions. I've mined your tags cloud already...
recent, popular, academic, ancient, catholic, all of the above?
if you would like a list of my personal recommendations I could do that, but I was browsing a bit for a good list and think the table of contents of this book of Christian thinkers is a pretty good place to start:
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=F1jhun5szTUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=christian+thinkers&source=bl&ots=JAg_tjReKz&sig=R4ElZvcaibVP1YflHwXdTJcsytU&hl=en&ei=YdENTdLPIsmWhQfVgOm4Dg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CHQQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q&f=false
Thanks a lot, I think that the table of contents will be good.
