That sucks.
Irish fury over ambulance clamp
Dublin Airport
Airport police require vehicles to use a multi-storey car park
The Dublin Airport Authority has voiced regret after an ambulance waiting for a seriously injured patient was clamped by airport police.
The privately-run ambulance was clamped on Saturday despite being parked in a section reserved for emergency crews.
An airport spokeswoman said the incident was "deeply regrettable" and promised a policy review.
Paramedics had to use a cash machine to pay for the clamp's removal. Their boss said the clamping was "mind-blowing".
The airport said it would refund the clamping charge of 63 euros (£43; $82).
Spokeswoman Siobhan Moore said police had clamped the ambulance because it had remained for about 30 minutes in an emergency area reserved for immediate pick-ups.
The crew was reportedly waiting for a patient injured on a skiing holiday.
The owner of Life Line Ambulances, David Hall, said his company had used the area for the past six years without problems.
He said the authorities should have inquired about the patient's condition before applying a clamp.

After leaving FM2005 running in the background, eating up valuable resources, I can finally proclaim myself, Football Manager Expert. Now to see if they will actually force me to retire when I reach 60 in the game.

Update
Superbowl ads. Considering that a minute of airtime during then is like a million bucks, these had better be good. And they are, I guess.
Bears! That shoot lasers out of their eyes!

Newcastle fans not happy.
Souness Out.
Neither will the Man U fans be with this.
PS. GMail suddenly gave me 50(!) invites. Guess it's probably going to go public soon. The offer for invites still stands. Post your email there and I will send one to you.

Green Day vs. Oasis vs. Travis vs. Eminem "Boulevard of Broken Songs"
This sounds good. Too bad I can't seem to save it.

Send yourself off.
Andy Wain was having a difficult day last Sunday even before officiating a testing match between Peterborough North End and Royal Mail AYL. So when the North End keeper disputed a goal, Wain lost it, untucked his shirt and squared up. It was an indiscretion and one that couldn't go unpunished. So he sent himself off. "If a player did that I would send him off, so I had to go", Wain explained. "It was totally unprofessional." It's difficult to dispute the principle, although practically it could have been better thought out - with half an hour to go and no referee, the game was abandoned.
