I've been in uni for the past 3 hours and have managed to get no work done whatsoever. Thankfully the whole experience has been made good by the Tesco Chicken & bacon sandwich which was purchased on the way here and has now just been consumed :D

Now back to staring at Word.

I'm going to try and find out all the national anthems of the 32 countries at the World Cup, listen to the ones I don't already know, pick my favourite 3 and learn the words so I can sing along. Well, favourite 2 because the Italian one is definitely going to be one of them.

The Italian national anthem is indeed, quality.

Italian one is quality, but if there are another two better than the french, I'll be amazed.

*Learn the Spanish, no words.

Ouviram do Ipiranga as margens plácidas

De um povo heróico o brado retumbante,

E o sol da Liberdade, em raios fúlgidos,

Brilhou no céu da Pátria nesse instante.

Se o penhor dessa igualdade

Conseguimos conquistar com braço forte,

Em teu seio, ó Liberdade,

Desafia o nosso peito a própria morte!

Ó Pátria amada,

Idolatrada,

Salve! Salve!

Brasil, um sonho intenso, um raio vívido,

De amor e de esperança à terra desce,

Se em teu formoso céu, risonho e límpido,

A imagem do Cruzeiro resplandece.

Gigante pela própria natureza,

És belo, és forte, impávido colosso,

E o teu futuro espelha essa grandeza.

Terra adorada

Entre outras mil

És tu, Brasil,

Ó Pátria amada!

Dos filhos deste solo

És mãe gentil,

Pátria amada,

Brasil!

From the Ipiranga, the placid banks heard

the resounding cry of a heroic people

and in shining the sun of liberty

shone in our homeland's skies at that very moment.

If we have fulfilled the promise

of equality by our mighty arms,

in thy bosom, O freedom,

our brave breast shall defy death itself!

O beloved,

idolized homeland,

Hail, hail!

Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray

of love and hope descends to earth

if in thy lovely, smiling and clear skies

the image of the (Southern) Cross shines resplendently.

A giant by thine own nature,

thou art a beautiful, strong and intrepid colossus,

and thy future mirrors thy greatness.

Beloved Land

amongst a thousand others

art thou, Brazil,

O beloved homeland!

To the sons of this land

thou art a gentle mother,

beloved homeland,

Brazil!

Second chorusDeitado eternamente em berço esplêndido,

Ao som do mar e à luz do céu profundo,

Fulguras, ó Brasil, florão da América,

Iluminado ao sol do Novo Mundo!

Do que a terra mais garrida

Teus risonhos, lindos campos têm mais flores,

"Nossos bosques têm mais vida",

"Nossa vida" no teu seio "mais amores". (*)

Ó Pátria amada,

Idolatrada,

Salve! Salve!

Brasil, de amor eterno seja símbolo

O lábaro que ostentas estrelado,

E diga o verde-louro dessa flâmula

- Paz no futuro e glória no passado.

Mas se ergues da justiça a clava forte,

Verás que um filho teu não foge à luta,

Nem teme, quem te adora, a própria morte.

Terra adorada

Entre outras mil

És tu, Brasil,

Ó Pátria amada!

Dos filhos deste solo

És mãe gentil,

Pátria amada,

Brasil!

Eternally lain on a splendid cradle,

by the sound of the sea and the light of the deep sky,

thou shinest, O Brazil, garland of America,

illuminated by the sun of the New World!

Thy smiling, our prairies have more flowers

than the most elegant land abroad,

"Our meadows have more life",

"our life" in thy bosom "more love". (*)

O beloved,

idolized homeland,

Hail, hail!

Brazil, let the star-spangled banner thou showest forth

be the symbol of eternal love,

and let the laurel-green of thy pennant proclaim

'Peace in the future and glory in the past.'

But if thou raisest the strong gavel of Justice,

thou wilt see that a son of thine flees not from battle,

nor does he who loves thee fear death itself.

Beloved Land,

amongst a thousand others

art thou, Brazil,

O beloved homeland!

To the sons of this land

thou art a gentle mother,

beloved homeland,

Brazil!

I was watching the Manchester derby in the pub today and at half time an advert for some package-holiday company (Sandals maybe) came on.

Very typical; beach scenes, palm trees, folk lounging around. Ordinarily the sort of ad. you would just stare vacantly at and let pass without comment... But in the corner of one particular shot where the camera comes across a jetty, at the end of which a woman is reclined on a sun-bed, I could have sworn I spied that fucking Cookie Monster.

Terribly incongruous.
