The General's Address: The Wiggles Cover of Elephant by Tame Impala

https://yammerhouse.wixsite.com/blog/post/the-general-s-address-the-wiggles-cover-of-elephant-by-tame-impala

In 2012, Tame Impala released a song called "Elephant" and, as an 11-year-old at the time, I was unaware of Elephant's existence. That 11-year-old would grow into a 20-year-old, as I am today, who has become familiar (to say the least) with that song. For this, I will credit and blame The Wiggles. Y...

Super Bowl Preview: Rams vs Bengals

https://yammerhouse.wixsite.com/blog/post/super-bowl-preview-rams-vs-bengals

Well! Here we are and we have a Super Bowl that not everyone expected. The Los Angeles Rams will face the Cincinnati Bengals in a relatively poetic game. The drama is definitely there. The Bengals, before this playoff run, hadn't won a playoff game since 1990 which is impressively pathetic. The Rams...

Zelda: BOTW is it worth it? | Matthew Osborne

https://yammerhouse.wixsite.com/blog/post/zelda-botw-is-it-worth-it

Legend of zelda: breath of the wild (for ease I'm just gonna use BOTW in abbreviation) is actually a quality game which I was hesitant to play for a hot minute there. So in context I just spend 60 odd hours over the last month or two playing breath of the wild, now that might sound like a long time....

Racist Abuse of Rashford & Co. by England “Fans” Disgraceful, But Not Surprising | Hayden

https://yammerhouse.wixsite.com/blog/post/racist-abuse-of-rashford-co-by-england-fans-disgraceful-but-not-surprising

After missing their penalties in England’s shootout defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were racially abused. And while this was disgusting enough in its own right, it was arguably not even the worst part of the whole thing. The worst part, in my vi...

With Italy’s victory on penalties (3-2 after a 1-1 draw) over England this morning, Euro 2020 drew to a close. The Italians are deserving champions, having played excellent football from the moment they kicked off the tournament a month ago with their 3-0 thumping of Turkey. Congratulations to the...

I Don’t Usually Go For Omens, But… | Hayden

https://yammerhouse.wixsite.com/blog/post/i-don-t-usually-go-for-omens-but

Commentators trot out a lot of nonsense. Like, a lot. A staggering, astounding, mind-blowing amount of nonsense. The England’s 2-1 semi-final win over Demark yesterday was littered with an even larger amount than usual – comparing this, that and another thing to Euro 96, mainly. One of the most ...

I'm still in the middle of that crisis and I won't be out of that anytime soon. Thanks to absolutely everyone for your...

Eighteen months ago they sacked Mauricio Pochettino, the club’s best manager in decades, hired the anti-football Jose Mourinho in a move that went completely against their traditional ethos of attacking football, sacked him too after a little over a year and the week before a final, and then left ...

Zeke did just write about the new update but this isn't about the update, this is about an unjust death.
