Quarter Finals Draw

Villarreal v Arsenal
Manchester United v FC Porto
Liverpool v Chelsea
Barcelona v Bayern Munich

Well Man Utd & Arsenal must be wetting themselves but the pick of the bunch, Liverpool V Chelsea...AGAIN!!  I believe there maybe a big conspiracy to prevent these two teams from facing each other in the final.  I personally reckon Barcelona v Munich will be the one to watch though, both strong sides, each with their own stars such as Klose, Podolski, Van Bommel, Messi, Henri & Eto'o.

My wish is for a Man Utd v Bayern Munich Final, But no doubt We'll get a boring 1-1 between United & Chelsea with Utd coming out on top thanks to John Terry & Nicolas Anelka missing, oh wait that was last year!! Hee Hee!!

Gotta say though, A Liverpool V Barcelona final would also be a tantalizing fixture if they could both be on top form on the night as both are known for there Yo-Yo form. If these two met at 100% it would be an awesome match!

Drinks - No.2 The Jelly Baby

First devised on the European leg of an "Impotent Ants" tour, during
what is now a famous interview, lead singer Mark and lead guitarist Chris started mixing some drinks.

This had hilarious results as slowly the interview descended into drunken chaos.  The secret recipe was eventually released by the band and named "The Jelly Baby" due to its taste.

Ingredients:

• Vodka 50ml
• WKD Blue 275ml bottle
• Sainsbury's Bucks Fizz
• Red Bull 1 Splash
• Ice

Instructions:

Take a tall glass and drop in some ice, add the Vodka and WKD Blue , then top up with the Bucks Fizz and finish off with a splash of Red Bull.  Throw in an orange slice if you can be bothered, it will count towards your five a day.

Low and behold we have Jelly Baby!

Special Mention - Firefly & Serenity

It's time for me to spend a little blog-space letting you all know about my love for the TV series Firefly and the movie Serenity that followed.  I was a "johnny-come-lately" to this brilliant series, which originally aired in the states back in 2002.  In 2008 my good friend Dommy recommended that I try it as he felt that I would enjoy it, well suffice it to say "enjoy" was an understatement. 

I absolutely loved this series, it has everything a sci-fi fan could want. The characters are interesting and engaging, the individual storylines and overall story arc are addictive, and the interactions between the various characters can at times, bre hilarious.

Now for a little background courtesy of scifi.com...

Five hundred years in the future, Mal Reynolds ends up on the losing side of a war.

He escapes with little more than his own skin, one trusted friend, and his ship, the Firefly-class freighter Serenity.

Every day since then, his mission has been a simple one: Hire a crew; find a job; and just keep on flyin'. Then, one day, he takes on a couple of mysterious passengers — and his life gets a whole lot more complicated….

The series was cancelled by the short sighted executives at the FOX network after only 11 of the 14 planned episodes had been aired.  In a two fingered salute to the idiots at FOX, when the series was released on DVD it sold well and was backed by a number of supportive fan groups.

These sales paved the way for Universal studios & Joss Whedon to produce a film based on the series which won multiple awards and enjoyed positive reviews.  The latest news is that the story will continue as an online multiplayer game which is currently in development.  Rumours are also circulating that there is interest in producing a second series but thus far nothing more than unconfirmed rumours.

I would recommend Firefly & Serenity to any Sci-Fi fan, a brilliant series and movie and drastically underated by the people who apparently matter.

I will provide more info on the series in the near future.

Easy Drinking Games - Drinking Roxanne

One of the easy drinking games but also one of the funny drinking games.  Gather your friends in a room and arm each with a full drink (preferably in a pint glass)

Now put on the song Roxanne by the Police, and drink everytime the name Roxanne is sung.  For the hardcore among you you could bring 2 drinks and drink for the duration of each extended Roxaaaaannnnne as well.

Fall Out boy also did a version of this song which is pretty cool, if a more Rocky version will suit your party.
