......till I'm married.
doesn't seem that far away now.
PS have discovered KUBB - are they any good? Was quite liking their song "sun".
Q: Why don't sharks eat clowns? A: Because they taste funny.
That's all for now.

Spotify....
Just joined on the Daves recommendation...
...so far no songs I recognise - which is a good sign i guess, however also no songs I'd really say, "ooh I like this".
As I'm typing all this "REM - sidewinder sleeps tonight" comes on! Excuse me while i rock out for a bit....................................................................................................choon! :-)
Decisions, decisions .... need to buy a TV of a reasonable size. Have decided my parents old TV is too small. But do I get an HD TV? or a plasma? 32"? 64"? how many SCART inputs do i need? can I output sound into my stereo amp?
so many questions, so little patience....

Well waddya know!
England actually managed to make us sweat! That won't have pleased Capello. Although he is quoted as being "very, very happy" - What's Italian for relieved?
At least it was nice to see Gerrard and Rooney playing so well together, albeit intermittently (?) - however I do wonder what will happen when Mr left-footed-able-to-drop-in-behind-gerrard Barry is unavailable.... there is a potential for a large glaring hole which Cashley won't be able to fill.
Still, a 2-1 win and 3 points are definitely useful. England now sit fairly comfortably atop the group by 5 points. It's all looking rather easy at the moment. I'm half expecting to hear that FIFA are going to deduct 6 points or find out that Rooney isn't actually English or something - we can't qualify with a 100% record? Can we?

Stealing Time
I am knackered.
Went into London last night to snatch a glimpse of my fiancee, which was nice although i was so tired that we ended up watching a DVD at Debs while she packed to go away. Woo! Go socialites! Despite all that I didn't get home till 1am. Straight to bed.
I really need an early night. I think I'm living on time stolen from tomorrow at the moment - still an England match should allow me to catch up on lost sleep.
Can't remember the last time an England qualifier seemed so dull. But that's probably a good thing. Fabio Capello has turned England into a dull yet effective team - rather than the exciting but ultimately unsuccessful teams of his predecessors. No more will we have the edge-of-you-seat, will-we-qualify, last-minute desperate games where all seemed to be OK till Englands talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory rises again. Now we can look forward to actually meaningless games where we have already qualified and can play the youngsters and give them experience without worrying that we'll lose badly.
My tip of the day: Expect a 0-0 or a 1-0 score - neither team have strikers on form.
Peace to y'all.

What a wonderful world....
Jenson Button wins a race?! What has happened to the universe as we know it? :)
However I think the story of the race really should go to Lewis Hamilton who finished a dubious 4th (how was Trulli in front?) despite having the 15th fastest car in the race.
Part of me thinks that, although a born winner, Lewis will probably have enjoyed his chance to carve through the field - apparently over-taking at will. I can imagine him going "Wheeeeee!" as he hit the KERS and slipped past on the outside of a corner.
On another note - I have a phone-line! BT connected it but didn't feel it necessary to tell me.... odd. Now all I need is SKY broadband and I can blog on weekends!

Grrrrr.....
Just heard back from the Post Office regarding my post - and basically their response is
"we're going to continue doing what we are already and you should sort it out."
Thanks, thats really not helpful Post Office people.
Still hopefully the electrical tape will hold and I'll have dry post for the first time this week tonight.
On another note - Jenn's off to Ireland for Trampolining Comp. Some people have all the fun!
