England Out of World CupSo, with England out of the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa, what are we going to do with ourselves? Watch Wimbledon? Well, with the Men and Women’s singles finals this weekend, it’ll certainly help up until then.
Andy Murray faces his quarter final match today against Juan Carlos Fererro. That kicks off… sorry, starts, in about 5 minutes, so maybe we should all be watching that in the hope some of more British glory.
But what about next week? And the week after? And the week after that? Premier League season doesn’t start for another couple of months, and the Tennis finishes.
What about cricket; is that on soon? Rugby? Golf? Badminton… anything?!?!

Refresh your feet with a fishy pedicureIf you fancy a real beautification experience for your feet, but don’t like the idea of someone scrubbing away at them with a pumice stone, why not try Aqua Sheko’s new treatment, available for the first time in the UK.
Aqua Sheko is situated in London, with only 8 exclusive massage pools. The idea is that you have your feet washed and cleaned thoroughly before taking a seat with your feet in a small but deep tank.
Inside the tank are 150 Garra Rufa fish, which are very small carp, the largest being about four inches long. These fish will gather around your feet and suck off any dead skin. The process will not hurt, and is usually described as tingling, relaxing and pleasurable.
The fish eat the skin, which will leave your feet with much less dead, hard or dry skin than before. They also secrete an enzyme that helps cure many skin diseases on the foot.

Firing Squad execute man in UtahRonnie Lee Gardner is a convicted murderer who has spent a quarter of a century on death row in Utah.
Gardner was able to choose his method of execution during his sentence, and chose to die by firing squad. The decision was made before the state banned the method in 1994. Since then, prisoners are not given the choice, and all are executed using the lethal injection.
Mr Gardner was convicted of fatally shooting a lawyer in 1985. He was attempting to escape from a court hearing, where he was facing a 1984 murder charge.
His family were gathered outside the prison in a suburb of Salt Lake City, but none saw the execution.

Princes in South AfricaThe World Cup is in South Africa, and that is where Prince Harry and Prince William have been on their first official joint tour to Africa.
They have been in Lesotho, a small country surrounded by South Africa. Whilst there they played football with a group of orphaned teenagers, and rode horseback to visit a children’s education centre. Harry’s team wore red and yellow – in support of his favoured team, Arsenal – and William’s team wore claret and blue – that of Aston Villa, his favoured team.
The princes were given traditional herd boy blankets to wear whilst horse riding, each with a personalised message on the back.
The Prince’s tour coincides with them being in South Africa for the England match against Algeria tonight. Hopefully they can bring our national team a little royal luck.
