Off to save the Planet

Tomorrow (Tues) just before 6am we´ll be setting off to WORK in a cloud forest reservation for 2 and a half weeks. Over 90% of the cloud forest has been destroyed and it´s also the natural habitat for the brown headed spider monkey which is under threat of extinction with only around 250 left in the world. Foolishly they have called in Mr Incompetent for help.

Here is their website www.primenet.org.uk (professor is from Sussex Uni hence the ".org.uk") and www.reserveloscedros.org

It´s a 4 hour bus journey and then a 4 hour trek through the forest to the reservation so this may be the last entry for a few weeks as the internet connection is a tad tempremental we´re told.






Quick match report from Weds for Si, the standard was very good. There was a double nutmeg, olés from the home fans for every pass at 6-1, a defender bringing down a corner on his chest in the 6 yard box, a shot from 5 yards outside a player´s own area that had the goalie back peddling but it went OVER the bar, and of course the police escort at half time for the ref. They had riot shields to all sides and above his head. It was at the far end of the ground from me, the away fans were a bit annoyed as they´d had a player sent off for an off the ball incident (like Arsene I didn´t see it).

Back soon
