Ar-gen-tina
Not only are Argentina the best team in the world cup, they are the most socially conscious (although Algeria did watch Battle of Algiers before the game with England and dedicated the result to the people of Palestine). They are backing the candidacy of the Mothers of the Disappeared (who campaign for victims of the fascist 'dirty war' in Argentina) for the Nobel prize. More here.
Also Maradona is cool.

Gaza demo
A great turnout today in the stifling heat to demonstrate in Edinburgh against the appalling murder of activists from the freedom flotilla trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza by the Israeli state.

Teenage Fanclub
Great gig as ever from Teenage Fanclub on Thursday night in Edinburgh. Also enjoyed the support act Veronica Falls. Main problem was the sound which was muddy and seemed to get swallowed up in the Picture House. You need to be nearer the front to get any decent sound at this venue.
