I don’t think many people give much thought to walking, it’s such a simple, straightforward activity that there’s not much to it, on the surface at least. Yeah, that’s until you encounter people with poor walking etiquette. They come in all shapes and forms. Most distinct are those who walk too fast or too slow for you to keep up. Somehow they are oblivious to the fact that different people may enjoy different speeds of walking. It’s mostly the fast walkers who do this, if they looked to the side for a minute they would see you taking giant strides trying not to fall behind. But even if they look, it’s one of those disapproving looks, could you pick up the pace a little bit you think? The fast walkers are easily identifiable, they always have a purpose to their walking. These aren’t the people who go window shopping, no they keep their eyes fixed on their destination. No change of course being made here. Time is money.

It seems that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez (who was just re-elected with 95% of the votes) was on to something. Now Besiktas have adopted this “buy big” mentality. After spending a season on loan at Roma, unwanted by Valencia, he wasn’t exactly a Galatico at €3.5m. Nevertheless, he was received like Zidane, a media frenzy at the airport and a mass audience following his every move. He was just officially presented today and he’ll be getting a whopping €1.6m/year.
