I did eat the Mars Bar and it was delicious!

Leon Best looks like he has the upper hand in the photo, doesn't he? Particularly with Alex on the ground, eh?
Don't believe it.
Visiting CHELSEA beat Championship side COVENTRY CITY, 2-0, in an FA CUP quarterfinal match I watched this morning. Alex scored the second goal. Didier Drogba opened the scoring for the Premier League side.
The Sky Blues understandably looked out of their league against the visitors.
Besides the FA Cup, I have been enjoying another English institution -- MADNESS.
No, not the mental condition -- the band!
Check out the video (here) for their 1984 single, "MICHAEL CAINE." I have the 12-inch version on vinyl and have loved it for 25 years now.
"Michael Caine" was written by Cathal Smyth and Daniel Woodgate, featured Smyth (CHAS SMASH) on lead vocals (instead of usual lead singer Suggs).
This catchy song, about an informer (a "grass") during the troubles in Northern Ireland, spent eight weeks in the British charts, peaking at No. 11.
The FA Cup on TV and Madness on the iPod on a rainy day. I might have to grab my British MARS BAR out of the freezer to make this UK-like day complete!
