21st Feb 2005. Bamako.

At the reasonably fancy Hotel Nord-Sud. I just met Kolo Toure's brother! The Ivory Coast team are here for a game with Mali. KT - Arsenal defender and truly great all-rounder - is from Ivory Coast, so I approached them and asked if he was here. "No, but his little brother is", they replied, introducing me. Kool!

According to CNN, Hunter S. Thompson is dead at 67 from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. If you haven't read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" or "Hells Angels", I suggest you go and buy a copy now, stop off at the rum shop on the way, and fuck some shit up, in memory of a genius.
