Washing keropok, salmon sashimi and later durian down with Boddington’s ale is a good way to watch football. All thanks to my sister, who is taking a surprising interest in Euro 2004. Too bad Pat doesn’t share the same enthusiasm towards the beautiful game.

So with England leading France by a goal, the second half is fascinatingly set up. Argh! Shut up, Avril Lavigne! Why do I bother with MTV?
