I just gold starred Rock Band2

I am no drummer. Although I can tap out a beat, it generally wanders off rhythm and I'm sure it doesn't belong to any official drum beat pattern. However, since we got Rock Band and subsequently Rock Band 2 for Nicholas' Wii, I have been getting better at the drums. Mainly for two reasons. (I'm sure I've wrote this before somewhere just not sure where). 1: Because I have a lot of respect for people who can play the drums properly and 2: because no-one else wanted to play them. Since the early days of 'Eye of the Tiger' I have progressed. And finally last night I gold starred my first song. To achieve this feat you need to complete a song on the expert level. I always thought you needed 100% on expert but last night I completed it with 99% accuracy but I'm guessing I only made one or two mistakes giving me the 5 Gold Stars! What song did you play I hear you ask? Psycho Killer by Talking Heads. Not the hardest song I admit but I how many songs have you gold starred... Huh? Thought so :p

Man Utd off to glory

Manchester United have just won the Carling League cup after a very tough battle against a surprisingly equal Tottenham Hotspur. Nothing was settled after ninety minutes of regular time, and the score remained goalless after a further thirty minutes of extra time, so the match headed to a penalty shoot out. Giggs scored a precision penalty to put the reds up 1-0, then Jamie O'Hara had his shot stopped by Man Utd goalkeeper Ben Foster. Tevez scored for Man Utd and someone netted one for Spurs making it 2-1 after 2 kicks each. Christiano Ronaldo slotted home United's third and Bentley missed his giving Manchester a 3-1 lead. Anderson had the responsibility of winning the cup by scoring his penalty leaving Tottenham no way of coming back which he duly did. Manchester United are still in for a chance of winning fours trophies this season as they are still in the FA Cup, European Champions League and currently sit seven points clear of Chelsea and Liverpool who have 55 points, plus Man Utd have a game in hand.
