KT has just reached a massive target in her job and has been rewarded with a mystery prize. I fear I’m going to be very disappointed. To me a mystery prize should be something like a large block of wood, 1m x 1m x 1.5m high. Is that the prize? Is […]
Here we are one month one from the wonderful introduction of the smoking ban in Scotland. There have been contradictory reports on effect the ban has had on the takings of Scottish pubs, after three weeks the BBC reports most landlords say business is booming, while the Edinburgh Evening News (Scottish Paper of the […]
As predicted Liverpool complete a wonderful FA Cup double triumph in Manchester of all places by beating Chelsea 2-1 to reach the final against either Middlesbrough or West Ham (playing tomorrow). Despite Liverpool, especially Harry Kewell, playing better than Chelsea, the real reason they lost the game was due to asinine tactics to start […]
Brian Noble’s first game in charge of Wigan gets him of to a winning start as they beat Huddersfield Giants 46-14 away from home. Wigan played far better attacking rugby, rather than just going one out they kept the ball alive and swung it out to the wings far quicker. I still think […]
Avid Liverpool fan and FA chief executive Brian Barwick, seen biting his nails during the final 15 minutes, has just presented the much coveted FA Youth Cup trophy to Liverpool in Manchester City’s City of Manchester Stadium. Despite losing by two goals to nil, Miki Roque’s third at Anfield and very sound Hamann-esque defensive […]
The BBC are running a story about an online petition to *support* animal research. I’ve been in favour of it for years and they claim the “silent majority” support it too. If you’re one of them you’ll probably want to browse this BBC article and then take a look at the petition here. […]
Former Hull winger Paul Anderson shined brightest of all tonight as Liverpool’s Under 18 side dominated Manchester City by three goals to nil to virtually lift the FA Youth Cup. Yes, it’s not over yet, there is still a second leg to come. Essentially we at half time in the final and who […]
So it seems the country has screwed up again. All this hysteria over bird flu, all these draconian restrictions hastily put in place were all for nothing. It turns out the swan that died of bird flu and posed a threat to all our lives was not a native British mute swan, it […]
Hallelujah! After a little bit of recent suggestive poking and carefully phrased motivation, the most annoying bug in OpenOffice.org has been fixed! That right, the screw up with hiding (suppressing) blank paragraphs, issue 56195, has finally been solved by the rather wonderful yet mysterious OS (I don’t know his/her real name). This […]
No fancy amusing title here, just shock (no awe). Ian Millward has been sacked as coach of my team (I own them), the Wigan Warriors after just six months in charge *and* having joined from Wigan’s bitterest of rivals, St Helens. Several new players came in during the winter and Andy Farrell left […]
The Scotsman has ran with the headline that Scottish forces are looking to recruit more police officers from eastern European countries. That’s just what we need. Tony Blair has already scrapped our right to silence, removed the need for us to be charged to be held indefinitely, taken away our right to a […]
Here’s the situation as I see it. You can’t now eat eggs or poultry due to this bird flu hysteria (you have to feel sorry for Asda who have had all their chicken products proudly labelled “sourced from Scotland”). Beef is out because of mad cow disease and you shouldn’t go near vegetables […]
Ban any public gathering of birds at first and then round up all the birds one by one and lock up up without just cause, say that you vaguely suspect them of knowing another bird who is manufacturing a biological weapon. Next take samples of all their DNA even though they are not guilty […]
I was wandering around in cyber space the other day when I came across another great blog. As the title says the author is younger than me, certainly a million times fitter, can speak fluent Spanish (but can he count to ten in Japanese?) and has such a cool first name it even has […]
t is with a very heavy heart I bring you this sad but inevitable news. This days was always coming and almost one year into my most recent online adventure, here we are. This site has evolved significantly over the past year and while I do like the interaction with people who read it, it […]
