Wallpapered football results of the week, August 2010

AS OPPOSED to the usual 'nice picture followed by football results' format favoured here on RFTFT, this week I (Martin Cowin, author) have decided to combine the two, which I hope you like. Firstly, the scene is Morecambe Sea Front, photograph taken May 2010, secondly, the football results are from npower League 1, matches played 27 - 28 August 2010.

Reflections of the Nashville floods, May 2010

I WAS NOT AWARE, until I read the Twitter feed of Taylor Swift, pictured above, of the flooding which took place in Nashville, TN, USA, in the early days of May 2010.

Pictures and articles were posted on the website of The Huffington Post, which demonstrate the scale of the flooding.

A small photo gallery is available on the website of international radio broadcaster WWCR, who went off air during the flooding due to damage caused to their aerials by the water.

Here's hoping Nashville is on the road to recovery. Thoughts are with you.
