Work last week was totally manic for me.  I had this book that I just couldn't shift. Things kept going awry and it was frustrating and stressful, but it's all done now so a job well done I hope!  A couple of months and it will be coming back as the finished product, which will be exciting. There is such a good satisfaction, whether you have played ( Read more... )

Just to follow on from this week's footballing theme, how damn funny that the guy singing the anthems at Wembley on Wednesday (an Englishman) pronounced part of the Croatian anthem wrong so that he sang: "My penis is the size of a mountain." Brilliant.

So, after a bit of prodding from

In an odd way, I'm glad that England were beaten last night.  So that now, perhaps, we can take a long, hard look at our football team.  Although I feel McLaren was at fault from the offset last night for playing Crouch as the lone striker, as it doesn't work.  Playing anything but 4-4-2 for England rarely works. Not to fault Crouch, because he ( Read more... )

So, I was gladly proved wrong. Israel beat Russia and our qualification hopes hang on a draw or victory at Wembley tomorrow. The BBC website is doing this How to Beat Croatia thing, so thought I'd chip in with my own thoughts ( Read more... )

I've had a nagging cold for about the past 2-3 weeks now, so I've been in hiding, trying to get better.  I just seem to almost get rid of it and then it comes straight back again.  Plus, everybody at work is also ill, our office is like a viral vicious circle!  I know I haven't already mentioned it, but I got promoted recently.  Sadly, not on merit ( Read more... )

Luka telling Abby they could retire to the Virgin Islands and her reply: Priceless.  (OK, maybe not, but it was amusing!) (It was also cut from Insurrection..)

After I saw a wondrous old repeat of Taggart last night from 1987, full of product placement, reasonable gore, and yes, Ford Orions as unmarked police cars; I decided on a random whim to see if there were any DVD boxsets.  Well, there were a few, but after browsing a few more random boxsets, I found out that ER Season 9 is out for R2 - on 29th of ( Read more... )

The McLaren fine thing is a bit nuts, isn't it?  Perhaps just because we know the punishment now, but details of the crime come out tomorrow, seems a bit odd.  I read today apparently that another team used some of McLaren's data in their car, and yet they're not being punished.  A lot of people feel that Ferrari have cheated in the past and got ( Read more... )

At the moment I just love, love, love Our Earthly Pleasures by MaxÏmo Park.  As usual I'd been drawn in by the singles, but with the whole album on my iPod primed for the journey to Lakeside on Saturday I fell in love with the rest of the album.  Nosebleed and Parisian Skies are just amazing.  Stunning lyrics ( Read more... )
