Swedens King during yesterdays handball game, the Queen looks a bit disturbed and judging by the lady infront he has quite a high scream as well :)

So, umm, whose idea was it to paint the hockey pitch luminous pink and dark blue?

Er, I take it you've spent the last few weeks/years ignoring the branding of the logo?

Yes it's hideous but there's a logic behind it, it's not just to hurt our eyes (which it does pretty well).

It was answered on the BBC news today, it's got something to do with the colour contrasts making it easier for TV viewing, the crowd and the linesmen.

Yeah Dark Side of the Moon was so over-rated it's been in the album charts almost continually since it was released.

:/

Justin Beiber sells bucket loads of records. Do you like him too?

I find Pink Floyd pretty boring really. Some of it is OK but they are definitely over rated.

Justin Bieber doesn't write, compose, record and perform his own material. Well maybe he sings a little but his pitch is corrected by computer so that doesn't really count does it? He's just a performing monkey wheeled out to his screaming pre-pubescent fans to generate money for fat men in Ferraris.

Roger Waters wrote Dark Side of the Moon in his late 20s and it's still as relevant today as it was then, perhaps moreso. Lets see how many people are still listening to Justin Bieber in 40 years time.

Syd Barrett was awesome as was Roger Walters. Pink Floyd with Gilmour was just not the same not threatening enough. However I dont understand why they are being called overrated and can not even be compared with the teenage girl pant wetting success of Beiber... Piper at the Gates of Dawn was just sheer brilliance, Animals was a fantastic as was Wish you were here (really crazy things were happening in my life when I got into both those albums).... I was not a fan however of Momentary Lapse of Reason or Division Bell

BBC said:
Hockey: What's that weird-looking blue pitch made of? Richard Saunders

When watching the hockey the pitch appears to be wet. It looks like spray when the ball is hit hard. Is water used on the pitch? Colin Turner

London 2012 is the first world hockey event to be played on a different coloured synthetic turf to the traditional green. The water-based surface at the Hockey Centre at the Olympic Park in London uses a high-performance polyethylene resin, helping to make it the world's fastest pitch. The run-off areas are shocking pink, and the colour changes are designed to improve viewing for players, officials, spectators and broadcasters.
