Two guys are drinking in a bar.
One says, "Did you know that Lions have sex 10 to 15 times a night?"
His mate says, "Maybe that’s why they’re 0-16"
HAHAHAHAHahahahahahah....ha ......ha......oh

Maturity
They say that you're only young once - but you can be immature forever....
...but can you? Is there a point in your life where you have to grow up? Can you actually manage to live, love, work and even play, without gaining a little maturity along the way.
But then does maturity require the inability to be silly? I sincerely hope not. I may be able to rent a flat, get married and have a pension but I can also tickle Jenn till she can't breathe, get excited over Kinder Surprise toys and make stupid faces on photos.
I guess what worries me is that the people I know who are 'mature' also tend to be serious and un-fun. They talk about pension plans and insurance policies. They worry about the state of the economy and the cost of housing. Then again so do I....just in the privacy of my own room :-)
Am I growing up? I certainly didn't plan to.

I have a new hero....
"To have gone to Manchester City could have been a great project but in the past few days I have prayed a lot to understand what the right team would be and in the end I have decided to remain here." - Kaka (from BBC website)
...apparently God's more influencial than money.

Monopoly money
At what point does the football transfer market become obscene? Was it when Alan Shearer was 'bought' by Newcastle for £15m? Or when Roman Abramovitch started the trend for real life fantasy football?
I'm talking, of course, about the (reported) £107m offer by Man City to AC Milan for Kaka.
Just to put this into perspective here is a list of things you can buy for £107m:
107,000,000 lottery tickets
8,200,000 Pizzas
71,300 60" plasma TVs
114 Bugatti Veyrons
82 x 6-bedroom houses in Uxbridge
Also the island of Anguilla in the Leeward Islands has a GDP of £109m. So AC Milan will recieve the equivalent of the output of approx. 13,000 people.
The thing is, once you get into the millions of pounds any figure is beyond any real sense - it just becomes numbers. Nonsensical figures on a piece of paper. Monopoly money.
When Liverpool won the Champions League they earned £28.6m in prize money
So in order for Man city to get that money back the would need to win the next 3 Champions leagues back-to-back. Tough job for a team in 15th place at the moment.
So no pressure then Kaka.....

Mmmm blogging
Yes, I've finally succumbed to the pressure. I have a blog. I might use it a lot. I might not.
But then again no-one actually reads these do they?
Anyway - expect to see the following things in this blog: random questions that probably don't make sense, thoughts that occured to me whilst I was doing this, rants about stuff that annoys me (like people who don't know how to use London Underground ticket barriers) and silly jokes that I find funny.
Also I'm getting married this summer so I might be blogging about that a bit too.
Not that you care - but you might.
So to get the ball rolling: Velcro - what a rip off.
