The second coming

Well I didn't see that one coming.
I've been a long term advocate of the return of the blessed St. Michaale, but I never anticipated return of God to Anfield. If only he was eligible to play the Scum in the FA cup.
Will he be a success - I have my doubts, but also my hopes. Surely he would not have missed the sitter that Cisse missed at Old Trafford. If he keeps his nose clean (you know what I mean), his weight down and doesn't fall out with Benetiz it could be glorious.

A lot of ifs, but a lot of romance.
Welcome back Robbie.

BTW, I nearly got my wife to go with the first born son being Robert Michael - and then we sold Robbie and I had to change tack to Michael Emile, which gave the game away. Still could have been worse - I wouldn't fancy being Peter Djibril Fernando Florent Breadtrail. Peter Robert - that would do for a name and the front line.

Controversial

You know, and don't all rush to disagree, but I think the Arctic Monkeys are rather good.

Talk about fame - at my mother's funeral yesterday, my 80 year old Uncle was talking about them. Now that is fame.

Da Vinci Codswallop

Ok, so I admit I haven't read the book - but what is it with people and the bloody Da Vinci Code? They are now running courses about it in Dublin. Can't people understand that it is a NOVEL. It's made up. Is that a difficult concept for people? It's not true.

Oh for God's sake...

Which was pretty much what I thought when the Scum got one over on us at the weekend. Oh well, maybe next year for the Premiership. Which leaves us with the FA cup and Champions League to aim for. Same as Arsenal oddly enough.

Addict

I am an addict and it is ruining my life. I guess like most it will take something dramatic to make me resolve the issue, and probably require an intervention. The past two weeks have been particularly bad, probably because of the stress of my mother's death. But I have been getting away with it because everyone expects me to be upset. Now it is getting in the way, but still costing me both financially and in other ways.

Can I start again? Clean break? Change my habits?

In the meantime, here is Batman making a remarkably transparent attempt to get Robin to sod off for a while.

its not a matter of life or death

Very pleased with the results at the weekend. The fat one (formerly known as God) was very popular around Anfield all afternoon, particularly because
of his 5 finger gesture to the scum to remind them of how many times LFC
have won the European cup. Though I believe the scum replied by
indicating that they had won it twice. Or was there some other meaning
to the gesture?
So MUFC lose and appear to have lost the plot as well, and we beat Spurs. Not bad. Scum up next. Bring them on!

All the best for 2006

RIP

What can I say? Rest in peace, the only mother I ever knew.

3-5

and at 3-1 I was thinking "here we go", until it turned round. I have to say Luton were unlucky, and Alonso's last minute goal was not what they deserved. Bloody marvelous though. I wonder if many have been scored from further out, though I think (goalkeeper) Pat Jennings once scored in the League cup final from a kick out from his own penalty area.

Here's hoping tomorrow is brighter...

what a day

Au pairs house catches fire, nearly killing her in her bed.
Breadcrumbette bursts lip - blood everywhere.
Mrs Breadwinner bangs head, possible concussion.
Then Mother in a coma (no it's not a Smiths song).

And then an FA cup tie against Luton. Well, I don't need to ask if anything can go wrong because obviously it is one of those days.

I hate IT

I thought I had a bunch of dodgy CDs, but no... actually looks like the problem is not the disks but the CD writer software. Not the actual CD writer - it is fine with I-Tunes, and on DVDs but has given up writing CDs!

And the software company (Veritas, now owned by Symantech) only provide support if you buy their new software because they have stopped supporting my 2 year old version.
Bastards!

Tell me again why I should buy shit from you that stops working FOR NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL. (was that shouty enough?)

Having been working with computers for 25 years, I still wonder what
normal people do - how do they ever get them to work? I've got a PhD in
Physics, and I still get scared by the jargon and stuff.

The error message was either "sorry you are shit out of luck - I couldn't be bothered finishing writing your disk" (I paraphrase), or ...
Sense 05 ASC:72 ASCQ 03 Command:00

What the fuck?

Have a fucking excellent weekend dudes.

2006

Gotta be better than last year. But, anyone know how to connect a WIFI router? My delightful cable provider wants to sell me their own rather than help me connect the one that I already have. Tossers.

Hope anyone out there has a good one.
