Ferrishouse

Do you have $2.3m burning a hole in your pocket? Why not purchase 370 Beech Street, Ferris Beuller’s home in the eponymous film.

Nur nach Hause

Frank-Zander

I finally had the privilege of witnessing the legend that is Frank Zander last Saturday before Hertha BSC’s final home match of the season against Schalke 04. The mulleted, moustachioed, über-ginger-wonder lead the crowd in a rousing rendition of Nur Nach Hause.

The Olympiastadion was heaving, easily the busiest I’ve seen it this season during the 9 matches I’ve been to:

Hertha BSC 1-1 Arminia Bielefeld
Hertha BSC 2-2 Wolfsburg
Hertha BSC 2-1 Stuttgart
Hertha BSC 1-0 Hoffenheim
Hertha BSC 2-1 Köln
Hertha BSC 2-1 Frankfurt
Hertha BSC 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Hertha BSC 2-0 Bochum
Hertha BSC 0-0 Schalke

That’s 9 of 17 home matches attended – not a bad return given that I live in south east London! Roll on next season where hopefully I can increase that number…

Pubes

My Slovenian brothers over at myBikini sell some jolly nice pubic beard shaving templates. The ideal gift for ‘er indoors, surely, unless she’s morbidly obese or Goodhew.

Lightbuldorder

Whilst tidying my desk, I chanced upon the despatch note from my last lightbulb order from BLT Direct. Now, don’t get me wrong, they’re jolly nice people, and they always have the annoying, can’t-buy-them-anywhere bulbs that our office is littered with. However, they failed to comply with my ESSENTIAL delivery instructions (see scan for details). Honestly, is a little choreographed dance routine really too much to ask?
