That reminds me...(For us ‘Mericans)

Sunday is Super Bowl XLII. What do you folks like doing for Super Bowl Sunday? And snugs, any English equivalent you’d like to mention to us—such as the World Cup or UEFA—that would be much appreciated. :)

Our equivalent is the FA Cup Final which is a knock out competition for all full members of the Football Association.

So the competition starts early in the season on small grounds with half a dozen people watching and gradually the bigger clubs come in.

It gives an opportunity of which luck and good draws for a small club to get drawn against a top club, earn some money and give their supporters a great day out.

The final takes place at Wembley at the end of May I have in the past posted some photos of the FA Cup Final. It was held in Cardiff for a few years when Wembley was being re-built and my photos are from Cardiff.

I will dig some out and post some tomorrow.

Indulging! I went out today and stocked up on Ruffles, green onion dip, Odwalla Pomgrand, YoCrunch oreo yogurt, and a hamster.
