funny thing about predictions.... i learned my lesson time and time again, believing patrick ewing's guarantees that the knicks would win a title. you should never really promise what you can't deliver (unless you are in sales).... certainty is often snared somewhere between probability and reality...... at least it tends to seem that way when i bet on football games.

we travel to copenhagen saturday trying to run our win streak to three in a row. the other team is pretty good apparently but they have dropped 3 in a row... so i dunno what is gonna happen. i got my mum and my sister coming over to watch the game from london this weekend. my grandma's 85th is this month so ma dukes is over in england visiting grandma dukes. haven't seen niamhy in a few years so should be fun. i have a bit of a curse on my performance when my mum watches my sporting events(i always play bad) so hoping that gets broken this weekend
