Bonamental

Which is...?

Get in! Deflection going for us. Was listening on radio on the way back from the gym, get in, turn the tv on and seconds later we score! Great stuff. How have we looked generally?

Absolutely nothing at all. Been ages since I last went to a gig as well, but no one I'm interested in seeing seems to be touring. Hopefully all recording albums which will lead to tours though.

That's what I do normally! Although only just starting again and there's sod all of me (5'8'', 10st5), but still. Did my first 5k in a year on Tueday. 27.47. No idea how shit that is really. But managed to take it down by 40 seconds last night. Felt completely fucked afterwards.

A new car! Well, year old, but damn new for me. Zetec Focus, which comes with DAB meaning I get great stuff like this coming on:

Does anyone know of a decent online retailer for things like sound cards? First thoughts are dabs and ebuyer, but no idea if they are actually any good or just a rip-off. I need a cheap sound card having upgraded from Vista to 7 and my onboard sound is screwed (plays music and backing to videos, but no singing our speaking at all, comes out as a sort of quiet washed out metallic noise instead). Tried various different drivers for it, bios is up to date, tried new chipset drivers but no change at all, so think it's just going to be easier to buy a cheap sound card that will work with 7.

The gym is starting kettle bell classes, so are running this pre-emptive how to do kettle bells class thing, which I've just signed up for. Partly looking forward to it, partly think I'm about to get murdered! Did fuck all for 9 months with exams and then not giving a shit (and wasn't all that fit before hand, but not too terrible), so I think this is going to hurt!

Here you go CT, have a go at some of these!:

Great first set, great tie break, come on Andy!

Just saw Django Unchained. Very entertaining. Maybe a bit too long though, and I say that as someone who has pulp fiction and true romance in his top 5 favourite films.

The bottom 3 all the same girl? If so, name?

Wiki has a great bit of hacking on him, saying he's allergic to grass. For some perverse reason I really wanted that to be genuine! Glad to be signing someone up front as we are so short, but don't really know enough about him to get excited yet, and I echo the hope its not the only striker coming in.

Brilliant

What are supersets and BCAA? After feeling a bit broken yesterday from the gym on Sunday (where I also saw Roger Black), went for a swim tonight. Quite pleased that I could still just about do half a mile in 26 mins. Nothing particularly stunning, but it's pretty decent pace for me when I was actually doing regular exercise. Was bloody dying at the end of it though.

There are meant to be more Wipes this year. Not sure if news/tv or what though, and his sign off to 2012 Wipe suggests they will start up reasonably soon. He has a very good turn of phrase.

Feeling tired now. Only just started going to the gym again after months of nothing. Tomorrow I am going to be regretting the laziness!

Just catching up on Charlie Brooker's 2012 Wipe. It's on iplayer until Tuesday for those who want to watch. "Wana-bono". Class.

I just watched that. Whole thing was pretty good, especially the giraffes at the end. Mental. These BBC wildlife docs make me want to go travelling.

Oh lord, danger danger time

I vaguely remember anichebe scoring against us and generally being a massive pain in the arse.... Fuck.

Superb first touch from Shola. Would have been quite a goal.

There's a difference between having less in your locker than Shearer and being a bad player

Debuchy in the stand, sat next to Cabaye.

Fucking hell. Great strike though

Wonderful!
