Vidic: “Manchester is the city of rain…Its main attraction is a timetable at the railway station”

Filed under: Lifestyle, Manchester United, WTF

It seems Nemanja Vidic is so fed up with England’s gloomy skies and incessant rain that he is casting envious glances towards sunny Spain.

‘I will never stay to live in England, that’s for sure,’ said Vidic in a Russian magazine. ‘The climate here is something special! You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it’s all cloudy again. The winters are mild but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20 degrees Celsius. And it rains, rains, rains! In England they say that Manchester is the city of rain. Its main attraction is considered to be a timetable at the railway station where trains leave for other, less rainy cities!’ As if the rain isn’t enough to moan about, he criticises the joyless way of life and admits he misses the social life he enjoyed with his team-mates in Moscow….

….Clearly he needs a quality WAG to spice up life in gloomy Madchester.

M.I.A. Pulled In The US With Canada Following?

Filed under: Canada, Lifestyle, Music

Just got this interesting tidbit sent in by Matsuo and thought it needed to be shared.

Universal Music Group pulled her song off the trailer of their new film Pineapple Express… is this the start of the end of MIA’s music career in the US?

Rumor has it that Canada is strongly considering banning MIA from entering the country due to her possible terrorist connections.

Via E!

Maya Arulpragasam is a Sri Lankan ethnic Tamil who spent much of her childhood in England. Her estranged father is credited as a cofounder of a militant pro-Tamil group EROS, which, in turn, was once linked to the Tamil Tigers. The Tigers have been labeled a terrorist group by many countries, including the United States.

From comment poster RLM, “PLEASE NOTE that the song, Paper Planes, isn’t about terrorism, it is a sarcastic jab at her inability to obtain a visa during the recording of Kala, and how some Americans views immigrants as drug dealers, murderers, etc. Also her estranged father is no longer active. ARULAR is more of a concept album about the civil war in Sri Lanka, about the images she saw while visiting, etc.”

Fashion v Sport

Filed under: Bumpy Pitch, Lifestyle

fashion-v-sport

London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is running an exhibition that opens this week that examines the relationship between fashion and sport. Sport and fashion are becoming more intertwined as they both continue to influence the design and aesthetic of one another. This is actually something that we talk about all the time as we continue to develop Bumpy Pitch and explore/define the relationship between soccer, culture, fashion and lifestyle. Great to see that a museum as respected as the Victoria and Albert Museum are exploring this as well. If you are in London you can check out the exhibit which will run through January 4th.
