David Eagleman – Incognito

Post author By carllyons
Post date June 23, 2012

Bought this on a whim after hearing the author on Richard Bacon's Five Live show. It's an exploration of neuroscience and specifically the wonders of the subconscious.??

The most illuminating thought for me was around the de-centering of our conscious self. What that means is accepting that what we usually think of as ourselves is really just a tiny part of the whole brain. And in the same way we had to adapt to the earth not actually being the centre of the universe, it's rather sobering and wonderous to realise there's a lot more to our brains than the bits we can consciously access.

Haloumi, Hallo you

I am typing this on one of those new retsina screens ahead of donertime tonight when Greece will pitta their skills against Germany.??May the feta team win.

Six percent of Ouzoguffers have Greece going out at this stage, and 11% have the Germans coming down from Mount Olympus.??

The Greek teamsheet

But for hamstring injuries, and certain fantastical beasts, the Greek XI could have been heroic:

Achilles, hero of the Trojan War and a central character in Homer's Iliad
Ajax the Great, a hero of the Trojan War and king of Salamis
Bellerophon, hero who slew the Chimera
Daedalus, creator of the labyrinth and great inventor.
Diomedes, a king of Argos (not the shop) and hero of the Trojan War
Ganymede, Trojan hero and lover of Zeus, who was given immortality and appointed cup-bearer to the gods
Jason, leader of the Argonauts
Odysseus, a hero and king of Ithaca whose adventures are the subject of Homer's Odyssey
Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet who attempted to retrieve his dead wife from the Underworld
Perseus, son of Zeus and the founder-king of Mycenae and slayer of the Gorgon Medusa
Theseus, son of Poseidon, a king of Athens and slayer of the Minotaur

Stand in the place where you were, now face north. Think about direction wonder why you haven't before

League table after last night's Ronaldo show. 48% of you correctly predicted a Czech exit at this stage.

Drawn and quartered – Euroguff Day 14

Post author By export export
Post date June 21, 2012

Now it’s a knockout

– Ed Stewart Stuart Hall, yesterday

Prophets of doom

91% of Euroguffers incorrectly predicted the Greeks would have exited the Euro(s) by now, and 15% had no faith that England would get out of the group stages.

TODAY’S BIG MATCH – Czech Rep. v Portugal

22% of Euroguffers thought Portugal would go out at this quarter final stage whereas a whopping 48% had their opponents Czeching out tonight.

– Ronaldo hiding a zit, yesterday

NEW FEATURE – Euroguff University

#1 – the greatest penalty in Euroguff history

In 1976 the final was between Czechoslovakia and West Germany. After extra time, it was 2–2, and the first penalty shootout in a final ensued. The first seven kicks were converted and then Uli Hoeneß, ballooned his over the bar. With the score at 4–3, Antonin Panenka stepped up to take the fifth Czechoslovakian penalty. Legendary German goalkeeper Sepp Maier dived to his left, while Panenka chipped the ball straight down the middle of the net. It was the ultimate death or glory gamble – and it paid off. Just look at their faces! Panenka is still a hero to many and his name is synonymous with that type of shot.

The best second language to learn

When I was a kid, it was supposedly German.

Now, apparently, Spanish is the popular choice.

It’s a bit Smart Alec to say this, but I think the most useful second

Death Jam – Euroguff day 10

Post author By export export
Post date June 17, 2012

Wake up, time to die

The Group of Death (origins) meets its maker today, with two teams fated to shuffle off this mortal eurocoil of guff. It's still completely open and anyone could go through. Or go home.

Who should I cheer for? Portugal v Netherlands

The majority (35) of Euroguffers have the Dutch smoking the match, with 23 chilling out for a draw and just seven seeing the Portugese lighting up.

??- Ronaldo hasn't looked himself in the tournament so far

Any port in a storm	draw
Ronaldo McDonald??	Dario Made-the-Gradi
Mrs Euroguff	Sepp Bladder
Yankee's Spankers	El Pringle
Paulo Di Harringtonio	roy the hodgson
The Special [Measures] One	B B Foot

	Vuvuzela????
	Christophe Woodini
	Anjusha Klins-Morinho
	Trap A Tony
	Normski Gunner
	Letina lotagoals??
	Del Garnett

Who should I cheer for???Denmark v Germany

No fewer than 61??'guffers have the Germans continuing to bankroll the Euros, with just four??fans of sweet pastry drooling about Denmark bringing home the bacon.

Great Danes	draw
Ronaldo McDonald??	Don revie

The Affair – Lee Child

The latest Jack Reacher and the first I've read on Kindle (not sure why it's not yet out in paperback).

Lee Child shows no sign of getting lazy or predictable with his star character. This is yet another thoroughly enjoyable, page turner of a thriller. You know what kinds of things will happen, and that Jack will prevail in the end, but the plots are never obvious and the suspense is ever present.

Read any of the 16 novels (except Die Trying, which I remember as the one weak book). I find them perfect holiday reading or as a fun complement to heavier novels.

Andy, we forgive the top knot – Euroguff Day 9

Post date June 16, 2012

England win. What an odd feeling to wake up to. Re-live it with these splendid animated gifs of Welbeck and Carroll’s goals yesterday.

And here’s how one ex-pat Euroguffer, Simon Grayson, kept his (American) daughter up to date with the score:

Who should I cheer for? Czech Republic v Poland

This is one of those games where no-one has a clue, so opinion is spread evenly across the Euroguff predictive canvas spectrum range area.

Andy Grey	DK Willy	2012sheds
El Pringle	Tim Henman	Bayer Neverlusen

*** Crisp Correction ***

So Roy Keane rang me up after yesterday’s email, pointing out that I had confused Tayto with Taito – the Japanese corporate which spawned Space Invaders. According to Roy, I have to “change my mentality” and can “stick it up my bollox“.

– Tayto and Taito, yesterday

Who should I cheer for? Greece v Russia

48 Euroguffers have this as an orthodox Russian victory, with just five Hellenic heroes praying for Greek rapture

EUROGUFF SWEDEN SPECIAL!

Jamie quips, "Swedish is a North Germanic language, related and very similar to Danish and Norwegian, but differing in pronunciation and orthography.??Along with Finnish, four other minority languages are also recognized: Me??nkieli, Sami, Romani and Yiddish"

I have a dream: Sweden v England

Forty-four Euroguffers have England winning, with twenty experience-weary souls fearing a draw.??Just one tea-bothering revolutionary, Mr Awesome, has Sweden beating England.??An American by nature, Mr Awesome has, by curious coincidence, today been reported to the Home Office for visa irregularities.

Money, Money, Money – the England manager, yesterday
