Unlucky.

Speaking of which, Jordan-Uruguay is on Eurosport this afternoon.

http://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/comedians_comedian_podcast/ Obviously quite navel-gazey, but worth delving into if you're interested in the mechanics of comedy and more besides. He's almost certainly interviewed someone you like at some point.

For fuck's sake don't tell CT.

Had the misfortune of watching a few things on live TV recently. How do people cope with adverts? Especially the incessant "your Christmas will be inferior unless you buy all this tat and eat all this food" ones, but just generally too. Total headfuck. (Change the channel or mute it, obviously, but still. Gah.)

It's not as late as the other one anyway - gets us into the resort in time for dinner - so we'll stick with it. Still negates the need for the prepaid airport hotel but might use it anyway! There *is* another early-morning flight for a further £40 each, but you just know what'd happen if we rebooked on that.

Only just saw this exchange.

Which has just been changed to later in the day.

CGDA, low to high. But shouldn't be too tricky - I used to play cello at school and could get my head (and hands) around a bass guitar as a result, not with any great competence, but the concepts were transferable to some extent.

Give over, he's just said the bairn's too alive and well, if anything.

Oh good, Jon Dahl Toivonen

He meant Sir Alex. Well, I assume as much anyway, as otherwise that's a mighty early managerial appointment.

Football, there.

Oh god the nightmares...

He didn't even give me a chance to caress his ego.

Little bastard put in a transfer request more or less as I was still installing FM Handheld. No mercy.

Are you aware that having hoardings with the slogans "The Game Is About Glory" and "To Dare Is To Do" around your ground makes everyone else think you're a bunch of utter nancy boys?

Cook them for longer.
