Could it be, that I don't want to save you any more? Could it be that we don't have what it takes?

1. Been feeling a bit funny at work this week (I might have mentioned feeling the same a few weeks back) - not so much 'horny' but just a bit funny. I work with a handful of attractive/nice ladies, and I suppose what with the summery weather and people feeling a bit happier.. it's been a flirty ol' few days. Cleavages, hugs, new summer clothes, tans from holidays, blah blah.

2. This did make me think about how I should lose some weight and start dating again. Even though at my self-pityinbg moments I am all 'no-one will ever love me, I'm doomed to be alone for the rest of my life', I don't actually believe this deep down, and I did have some enjoyable times dating and going out more often, so..

3. Bristol City beat Middlesbrough 2-1 today, bringing to an end Southgate's men's good start to the season. Boro are still in touch in fourth place, but it's a shame to lose.

4. On the walk home from town today I discovered that no matter what the binary iteration (putting down or up fingers depending on whether they were already down or up) you choose, if you do two transforamtions from each end of your hand, you reach the same state as you started. This, I suppose, is because each finger must go through an even number of 'changes' and hence must eventually return to it's base state.

5. Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man? No, I didn't think so either. I did have a haircut and bought some bread rolls today, however.

6. Spoke to my sister earlier, and she and I are off on a long weekend jaunt next w/e, which'll be nice. I'm a bit nervous about the practical aspects of it (why? I've booked holidays before, I've caught trains, I've got myself organised before and things have gone fine - why do I have to be a pessimist about such things) but should be ace. I'll sleep easier once I've booked accomodation and also spoken to my boss about having Friday off (or leaving early).

7. Chelsea faced Burnley in the day's early kickoff, and despite the newly promoted side keeping it tight (and having a few chances too) for 45 minutes, The Blues scored in first half injury time. It ended with a convincing three-nil win for Ancelotti's men.

8. But in actuality, Cracklin' Rosie is a type of wine drunk by a native Canadian tribe that Diamond had visited in Canada. Apparently the tribe had more men than women. Cracklin' Rosie was the nickname they used for their homemade alcoholic brew, which the single men, who did not have dates, would sit around the fire and drink together.

9. At The Reebok stadium there was quite an eventful game between the Trotterish hosts, and the (are they in a crisis?) struggling Liverpool. Bolton had far better of the game in the first half and up to the match was an hour old, going one-nil up through Kevin Davies, and then two-one up (after a Glan Johnson equaliser) via Tamir Cohen. Sean Davis was then perhaps harshly shown a second yellow, and Liverpool were able to apply enough pressure in the remainder of the game to score twice through Torres and Gerrard, and hence end up 3-2 victors.

10. The guest list (or is 'cast list' a better descripton? I suppose 'competitors' is the best word) for SCD this year has been announced, and a nice mix of peeps it seems. On the initial 'worr.. I might fancy them' type of thing, Martina Hingis, Jade Johnson (I sat opposite her on a train once, y'know!) and Ali Bastian stick out, so to speak.

11. I made the mistake of buying eight cans of XXXX lager yesterday to accompany my pie and chips. I like a nice lager, but not nearly as much as I like a nice bitter/ale. Unfortunately XXXX is neither of these. That said, I don't expect to have any problem polishing off the remaining six cans.

12. Stoke played another of those games which you'd expect to be a vital one come the end of the season (probably because there are so many teams these days who could concievably be expected to be fighting it out late in the season in the bottom five to eight sides) and managed to defeat Sunderland 1-0 through a ginger person. In truth both those two teams should be OK by virtue of their home form.

13. In 1986, "The actions of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves in human micturition, erection and seminal emission, and their restoration in paraplegic patients by implanted electrical stimulators"

14. Spurs only just maintained their 100% record to stay level with Chelsea at the top of the table. 2-1 they won against a Birmingham side showing plenty of fight, with Aaron Lennon netting an injury-time winner.

15. The St. Kitts and Nevis Billiard Federation - SKNBF, is the governing body for cue sports across the two islands. The SKNBF is a member of the Caribbean Billiards Union - CBU, with the SKNBF President Ste Williams holding the post of CBU Vice President.

16. Wolves managed a point at home against Hull, sharing two goals. You have to think that they'll need to pick up more from games at Molineux, but I suppose a point is better than nothing.

17. I have some garlic mayonnaise, but nowt really to use it with/on. Chips were covered in it last night, but todays bread rolls.. can't really see whaaa... squelch.

18. It ended 0-0 between Blackburn and West Ham. After a pretty shitty (stabbed players, bereaved players, riots in midweek against Millwall) week, The Hammers will be reasonably relieved with an away point.

19. I have a lesbain Nutri-Grain bar wrapper on my floor.

20. In the evening kick-off (and the highest-profile game of the day, I'd think), Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford. Arsenal dominated, by all accounts, but Man United scored two second half goals in a short period and eventually triumphed 2-1. Watching the game on MOTD tonight, The Gunners were very unlucky and also suffered at the hands of a biased referee intimidated by the home crowd. A draw at worst was what Arsene's men deserved, and really they should have won comfortably.

LISTENING TO:- I put on a Genius playlist based on Concrete Blonde, Pearl Jam and Black Stone Cherry. Unsuprisingly the playlist included a load of Seether, Cold, Neil Young and Nirvana.
