England: A qualified success
England finish the group stage at the top of Group B, but they certainly haven’t looked like world beaters. So it’s Ecuador on Sunday as the serious stuff begins.
Why I’ve been so busy lately
Today AOL UK launched its new web portal. What used to be available only to subscribers is now out there on the whole world wide web. We think it’s pretty good. What do you think?
Come on, England!
Charlie’s ready for the big match today as England begin their World Cup campaign against Paraguay – and like many other England supporters he might be tempted to watch with his eyes closed!

Charlie – a self-portrait
Now that we have a very nice new camera, I decided to give the old Kodak DC265 to Charlie. He’s been snapping away happily, and we’ll be showing some of his photos here. I already think he’s got an eye.
