Typical pattern for the last few days at work. Really quite busy, didn't get everything done that I'd hoped to, some of my colleagues are pissing me off, some are OK. I'm keeping a lid on my frustration to a greater rather than lesser degree, and I'm no nearer moving closer to work.

I had some mango kulfi t'other night, which was really very nice indeed. It would have been nicer if Sheridan Smith was there feeding it to me with a spoon, but.. it was fine.

My hovercraft of now only half full of eels. Someone took several handfuls out and put them inside a large hessian sack. He fondled my buttocks afterwards, however.

Watched 'Abigail's Party' last night, after one of my colleagues loaned me the DVD. It was very good indeed - clever and cringeworthy and funny (in a similar way to the impact of the first series of 'The Office', perhaps?) indeed. I recall watching it ten or so years ago when I went round one of my friend's houses while at university, and liking it then, so it was good to see again.

I got accused of by one of the lads at work of looking his girlfriend up and down yesterday (she also works at the office). It was all in jest really, but the thing is, I wasn't actually doing so.. this time. I have done so before though :-)

Some relief for two of the teams that lost heavily last weekend - Hull City managed to win against inconsistant Wigan up at the KC Stadium, Geovanni getting the winner in a 2-1 victory. Elsewhere, Burnley bounced back and beat Birmingham by the same score.

Part of me had intended to get up at a reasonable hour and go to Birmingham today. I'd have liked to have had a look round the galleries, see if there was 'owt on. Would have been a pleasure to treat myself to something shopping-wise too. Not to mention pointed sticks or bananas.

Strictly this evening saw a mixture of stuff - paso dobles and quicksteps (some of which were merely foxtrots from less able competitors). Truthfully, having fourteen couples dancing meant the whole show just went on a bit and I lost focus on who did what, but a handful of peeps look like they have real talent.

The last three standing were Lynda Bellingham & Darren, Rav & Aliona, and Craig Kelly & Flavia. Slightly unjustifiedly, Joe Calzaghe and Jo Wood were saved from elimination by the public, when they're both a bit shit. Rav was eliminated.

Pompey managed to get their first points of the season, and their first win, against Wolves at Molineux this afternoon. It ended 1-0 to the south coast team - but they remain bottom.

Middlesbrough ended a bad few days for Southgate by winning 2-0 away at Reading. Somewhat predictably, ex-Reading striker Leroy Lita got a goal to keep 'Boro in the top three. It was nice to see Ipswich and Roy Keane lose again and stay bottom :-)

An entertaining game between Bolton and Spurs ended 2-2 at The Reebok. Kranjcar and Corluka both scored for Tottenham to complete the statistic of every outfield player who took the field for Spurs today having scored this season.

Bit gutted about the damned United getting a late equaliser against Sunderland. Wonder if Alex Ferguson's been bribing the officials again to add extra injury time till they score? Anyhow, Sunderland were excellent, Man United were a bit crap, and it ended 2-2 at Old Trafford.

I finished reading 'Diary of a Nobody' earlier in the week (or was it earlier) and am now reading a Mark Billingham thriller about a policeman who goes undercover as a homeless bloke. It's been good reading so far.

LISTENING TO:- downloaded a few tunes off Amazon today, including one by Animal Kingdom, which was nice.

Bed time, methinks.
