  • Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
    WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip).

    Kids from 7 to 11 years old IN LONDON Step into Land of the Lions Land of the Lions is here! ZSL London Zoo’s newest and most breath-taking exhibit transports visitors from the heart of London to India’s vibrant Sasan Gir, where they can get closer than ever before to mighty Asiatic lions. Shrek’s Adventure London London's newest family attraction! Step into the kingdom of Far Far Away and enjoy a brand new madcap Shrek adventure where amazing DreamWorks animation, captivating story-telling and a good dose of Donkey’s cheekiness awaits. The London Dungeon (all ages) It has all the ghastly gore and black comedy of the old Tooley Street attraction in a bigger and more high-tech package. A jokey celebration of torture, death and disease, visitors can journey back in time to London's plague-ridden streets (rotting corpses, rats, vile boils and projectile vomiting all come as standard) and meet some of the city's unsavoury characters, from Guy Fawkes to demon barber Sweeney Todd. A cast of blood- splattered actors are joined by 'virtual' guests, such as Brian Blessed as Henry VIII, and as well as the 18 different shows and 'surprises' – which could see you on the run from Jack the Ripper or getting lost in London's Victorian sewers – there are two rides to raise the adrenaline: a turbulent boat trip down the Thames towards execution, and a dark drop ride plunging three stories in the pitch black. Note that the London Dungeon is unsuitable for young or easily scared children.

  • George Cohen's 1966 World Cup Final Shirt Leads Christie's Summer Sale of Sporting Memorabilia
    For Immediate Release Tuesday, 16 May 2006 Contact: Matthew Paton 020 7389 2965 [email protected] GEORGE COHEN’S 1966 WORLD CUP FINAL SHIRT LEADS CHRISTIE’S SUMMER SALE OF SPORTING MEMORABILIA Traditional Sports and World Cup Memorabilia 27 June 2006, South Kensington South Kensington – Christie’s announce that the shirt worn by George Cohen during the World Cup Final of 1966 will lead the sale of Traditional Sports and World Cup Memorabilia on 27 June 2006. A rare relic from English football’s finest hour, Cohen swapped the shirt with Lothar Emmerich, a winger in the defeated West German team, in whose family possession it has remained to this day. It is expected to realise £15,000-20,000. The summer sale will also include approximately 200 items of cricket, boxing, tennis and golf memorabilia, including the Renshaw Cup won by Fred Perry at Wimbledon in 1936, the last time a British player won the singles title (estimate: £25,000-£30,000). George Cohen (b. London, 1939) won thirty seven caps for England between 1964 and 1967 and played in all six of England’s matches in the 1966 FIFA World Cup Tournament. He spent his entire playing career at Fulham and made 459 appearances for the London side before retiring through injury at the age of twenty nine. Described by George Best as ‘the best full back I ever played against’, Cohen was one of five players from the England team of 1966 to receive an MBE in 2000. His 1966 World Cup final shirt has been in German possession for forty years, having been swapped with Lothar Emmerich at the end of the match.
