The Kinks - Mr. Churchill Says

This is the 70th anniversary of the "Finest hour" speech and, well, this is just a kickass song. The Kinks usually wallow in irony and sarcasm, but Churchill's 1940 speeches to the British people? Those are sacred, even to them.

England inflamed by stalemate in Second North African Campaign

I wish I could say that it was fun watching England get owned by the lousy Algerians, but that was the boringest game I have ever watched.
