* after a bit of a pause, my beloved Arsenal resume their season, having had a run of bad results before the winter break. For those not familiar with the English Premier football league, the nicknames for Arsenal and Palace respectively are The Gunners and The Eagles.
Also, Arsenal are the only team in the English football league who are not named after a place (although they were originally called the Woolwich Arsenal). The area of Arsenal in North London and the underground station are named after the football club after it relocated from Woolwich and dropped that part of the name.

- The weather has always been an English preoccupation, but with the climatic impacts we are now experiencing, there is a perverse excitement of doomsday ecstasy peppering our media and conversations. Climate change – the gift to ourselves that just keeps on giving.
