1. Alan Green on Five Live is a complete shithead. I've only really realised it recently, but in truth he's guilty of ruining several of the football commentaries that I've listened to in the past recent times. I'm not sure when from, but his bitter complaining wankerishness has just got worse and worse in recent months/years. He's just persistantly moaning and basically abusing every player who makes a mistake. Football is a beautiful game, but Mr Green just makes it sound like torture. Funking prink!

2. That said, he failed to ruin the Manchester Derby today - that was spoilt by the referee deciding to play five minutes of injury time, during which Michael Owen scored a winner for United. There I was, about to say that I didn't like Craig Bellamy, but I liked the fact he'd equalised twice.. but then fucking spawny Ferguson pulled another one out of the bag. 4-3 you Cnut!

3. In the afternoon's other matches, there was goals and excitement as well. Wolves got a pretty damned welcome 2-1 victory at home against Fulham, putting the Wanderers in mid table at the end of that game. Everton strolled to a three-nil win against Blackburn, and Chelsea won by the same score against Tottenham.

4. England won the final one-dayer, after Swanny got five for twenty-eight when bowling. The England batsmen toiled to reach a target of 177, but managed it for the loss of six. The series was lost 6-1, but we won the Ashes, so who cares :-)

5. Following the ludicrousness of recent news items about how any parent taking children to and from social events, cubs/brownies or sports clubs HAS TO HAVE A CRB CHECK (which is just daft - what has happened to common sense?), I liked this story about zoo animals. Such things are important indicators of how daft things have become.

6. I've got fuck all to say. I did nothing today, I feel sad at another weekend having pissed away, I've got a bit of a 'meh' week at work coming up, and.. well, I didn't eat much sensible fooo.. I had a late lunch of cheese rolls with curry sauce, and some oaty flapjacks for sure.

7. Listening to the NFL on the radio, and disappointingly the UK based presenters keep missing the important bits and pieces and going back to the US feed slightly late. It just shows a lack of professionalness. Odd, I don't recall it being as bad last week - perhaps there are different presenters.

8. I can't be the only person who gets confused between Nick Clegg and Nick Griffin. One is leader of a political party which offers a different slant than the two main parties, and one is a head of a bunch of idealistic no-hopers. I'll let you tag the BNP or Liberal Democrats with whatever label you choose, I think it's just good to have a democracy where such groups can have hope of getting in, but never shall in the forseeable future.

9. Got an e-mail off my slightly mad ex-girlfriend today, which didn't say much. She'd not replied to my last e-mail and I thought I might have said something to offend her, but.. she's hot and cold like that sometimes. Anyhow her message this evening was pretty much "Hi, sorry not mailed for a while and replied to your last message, haven't had time but I will write properly soon.."

10. There is no reason why I would have hidden my copy of Nick Hornby's '31 songs' up my bottom, but I can't find it anywhere.

LISTENING TO:- a bit o' Beth Rowley. She's got a bit of a limp voice in some of the tunes, but in some of them her voice comes over as a nice folk/blues thing. I'll give it more listening to.. I think I'll like it.
