Oh dear! Oh dear! Poor Old Wayne got sent off!  Rooney waded in with an ugly looking tackle on Vickers who has only recently returned from injury. Blues had used all 3 subs so both sides were down to 10 men. The rules need to be changed, if someone carries out a reckless challenge, takes out an opponent and they have used all 3 subs, the team who lost the player through injury should be allowed to bring on another player.
1-1 was the result, which was fair and what I had predicted (apart from the prediction league!). Nice to meet Bluetitch and Rags. Bluetitch pulled so I'm sure she's glad she made the journey to Bar Clique. Reet, I'm off to Aberdeen. No more posts from me until the New Year. Have a good one! 25 December 2002
Well, here it is, Christmas Day. We've had a nice quiet day, just the two of us (and all the animals). Mrs Kwacky is watching Shrek and I'm cleaning out my 100 gallon fish tank; not very festive but it has to be done before we go away and I'm at the football tomorrow. I'm still stuffed. The goose was cooked to perfection. That fat lipped mockney, Jamie Oliver was right about one thing: roast potatoes are the bestest when done with goose fat. Yum Yum. Good will to all men does not extend to the NYPD. Eduardo Delacruz refused to obey orders and allowed a homelss man to sleep in a doorway becuase he had no where else to go. NYPD's reaction? To suspend Officer Delacruz without pay. So touched were the homeless of that city, they all got together and chipped in withever they could afford or had received as donations. This reminds me of the story in the bible, about the poor woman who made a small donation in the temple. But hey, I don't want to get all relegious on Christmas day, do I? Various charities heard about the fund raising and boosted the donation up to $3,000. Delacruz had already earned the trust and respect of those who slept rough. He frequently stopped to talk to them (something most of us wouldn't even dream of doing) got them food and made sure they were alright. His compassion was rewarded by those he cared for but he did it because he wanted to. He's back in his job now, despite the statements that were made at the time of his suspension ''You don't get to make individual decisions in the department, and if he doesn't agree with a policy, he can let the police commissioner know in writing,'' said John F. Timoney, a former deputy New York police commissioner and now chief executive of Beau Dietl & Associates, a security company. ''And then, if he doesn't like the answer of the police commissioner, he can quit. It is that simple.'' Boxing Day Blues take on Everton. We were unlucky not to take all three points at Goodison. Moyes as hauled his men into shape and they are doing really well. Wayne Rooney is playing but I don't think he'll feature to much tomorrow (famous last words!). Our problem is scoring. Horsefield doesn't bag many but the ones he does get are usually key goals But, if he can't stay on the pitch until he's subbed or the final whistle goes then there's not much point playing him, even if he does hold the ball up well. Clinton seems to be lacking confidence. I really do think he's struggling to shape up and maybe a spell in the reserves will do him the world of good. Kirovski looks promising now he's been given more than 90 seconds, he has some nice touches and intelligent passes. Stern is still injured following an operation. Stan and Devs did very well last time out so I reckon Bruce will start with them. He might go 4-4-1-1 with Kirovski playing between midfield and Morrison. I predict 1-1. Time to go. Shrek has finished and I can hear someone calling for a tissue! 24 December 2002
 
Now I know what Robbie Savage does in his spare time, he's Captain Faramir, Brother of Boromir and steward of Gondor. Yep, I've just been to see the latest instalment in The Lord of the Rings adaptations. The CGIs really are amazing. Early on in the film, Gollum and Sméagol have an argument with his selfs about the uncomfortable allegiance with Frodo. The direction itself is incredible, but the animation is so detailed it is easy to believe the wretched creature has been created and brought to life. It's almost Christmas. Although a member of the clergy recently announced the death of Father Christmas, many refuse to accept the demise of the love child of St Nick and Coca-Cola. NORAD allows you to track santa online. I've not bought much this year. Mrs Kwacky and I set a budget. We're off to Aberdeen on the 27th for a friends wedding. We'll be staying at the Norwood Hotel for a few days to have a break and re-charge our batteries. Have a good one folks. 23 December 2002
Check out one of the most talented riders on probably the best bike at Valencia, as Rossi takes you round the circuit. Santa is pissed, don't let him fall! A new line in bullet proof vests According to bStats, someone found my Blog after searching for "worst Christmas present". I hope I've not given anyone any bad ideas :-) 22 December 2002
Steve Bruce is not a happy man. We picked up a point from an inform Charlton, despite going down to 10 men. After the game, Bruce said "unless we're really careful here, the whole common sense has gone out of the window and the letter to the law and every decision that goes unless we're careful we're going to spoil which is probably the best league in the world by this constant nonsense." Yep, once again, the ref made sure that the papers wrote about him and not the game. The Independent thought that referee Rob Styles enlivened the 1-1 draw. 
The Sun publishes Curbishley's concerns of the standard of today's refs. Killer Bunny Today, I have mostly been listening to Fiona Apple The lads over at Sportsbiker have taken up mini moto racing for the winter. For those who don't know, mini motos are tiny replica bikes  for kids and big kids. Great fun, easy to ride but hard on the body as the bike is cramped.We've got another day planned in February.No doubt there will be more cheating by funky and his mates ;-)
20 December 2002
Here's the BT5 1) What is the best Christmas present you've ever received - DO NOT INCLUDE BIRTHS! A Commodore Vic 20 ! 2) What is the worst Christmas present you've ever received - DO NOT INCLUDE SOCKS OR TIES! I like getting socks. Not sure about ties, I'm fussy on that front. My poor memory won' t let me go too far back. I once got a woolen hooded top. Unlined and it loved the wet so much it absorbed it. Worn once! 3) What present are you hoping for? Easy. Band of Brothers box set on DVD. 4) What present are you dreading receiving? Smellies 5) Describe your best memories of Christmas A few years ago a friend of mine died whilst out in Hong Kong. It hit a mate, John, very hard. John's family was not the closest - his father used to spend Christmas like any other day - getting pissed and beating his mother and the kids. John was on his own and feeling low. Sam and I invited him round. Wobbly Bob came too because my mum was working. We had a great day. Mrs Kwacky did us proud with the food and we all got heartily drunk. A very Merry Christmas. John smiled all day. The lubberly Mr Muffin fixed my blog and now you can see the template. Ta muchly No Bluetitch 5? She's getting lazy in her old age. Happy Christmas Saddam. What a surprise, George has rejected Iraq's dossier on its weapons production and is going to give that nasty man what for! Of course he wants to avoid war and really really wants to be friends with Saddam, but he's been a bad lad and needs to be taught a lesson, or so George tells us. "Tragedy is not a conflict between good and evil but between two claims to the good" I reckon he wants to emulate his father, but being a hack shrink never was my thang. Nestlé recently demanded $6m from Ethiopia because, it was claimed, Ethiopia seized one of its subsidiaries 27 YEARS AGO! For those of you who don't know, Nestlé makes about $6bn PROFIT a year. The Guardian's article, which informs us that Nestlé have since retracted its demand, quotes the company spokesperson (very PC is the Guardian!) as saying "it's a matter of principle". So is forcing some of the poorest people in the world to buy its products it seems. The excellent Mark Thomas did a show on the plight of the people affected by Nestlés marketing techniques and it's attempts to get cows to give human milk. Nestlé, for some strange reason, didn't want to discuss this with Mr Thomas. Our wonderful Nanny State has struck again. It seems us bikers are too dumb to know when it is daylight and when it is not. The Government decided to consult various people about dark visors. At the moment, it is legal to wear tinted visors, which block out about 20% of light, or you can wear sunglasses under your visor. You do not have to wear a visor if you don't want to. Now the sunglasses under the visor might sound like a good idea, but you can't take them off when you enter a tunnel at 70 mph. Most bikers wear illegal visors. These visors block out between 50-80% of light and users don't lie when they refer to them as life savers. Now everyone on the panel said that dark visors were a good idea, including the police and the other emergency services, Aston University (who specialise in, amongst other things, light penetration, development of photo-sensitive equipment and research into damaged eyes) and those representing bikers. Guess what? The government rejected the proposal Why? Because bikers might wear them at night and hurt themselves! This is from MCN's report:- Transport Minister David Jamieson has just announced that he won’t be making dark visors legal, despite admitting their benefits in reducing glare from sunlight. The sticking point appears to be the potential for us to wear our visors at night, ride around like blinded fools and run over pedestrians. He said: " The large majority of motorcyclists were in favour of dark visors, which they regard as the best way to reduce glare. But road safety organisations who have expressed concerns about the safety of other vulnerable road users, given the potential for misuse of dark visors at dusk or at night. " His announcement comes after a three-month public consultation earlier in the year on whether the law should change. Campaigners who have supported a change in the law say this could be the end of the fight. Alan Goodman, who sits on the British Standards committee that sets the laws regarding visors, said: " This is an unbelievable decision. The minister has ignored everybody. I don’t see what we can do now except carry on wearing illegal, untested visors to try and ride safely. " That means the darkest visor we will be allowed to use legally is still one with a 50 per cent tint – considered by most of us to be not tinted enough to block out bright or low sun. Let's hope the police continue to turn a blind eye. If you'll pardon the expression. Good old Japan. They got some of Romanias best gymnasts banned, for posing nude. They weren't pee'd off with them dropping their leotards, "Federation head Nicolae Vieru says the athletes could use their own images but had no right to use the emblems of the national federation". I'm off to find some piccies ;-) 18 December 2002
Scan day Just off to the hospital for Mogli's 21 week scan. The little tyke has started to squirm in the middle of the night resulting in Mrs Kwacky waking up, huffing, telling me that Mogli is on the move, then going back to sleep. I've got bags under my eyes and the child isn't even here yet! The scan went well and everything seems to be in order. The little tyke yawned and rolled over, oblivious to the attention. Sam has had a blood test just to make sure her liver is working ok. I am treating myself to some fancy Gilles rearsets. 
£290 might seem like a lot for some fancy footrests but my current pegs are so low I've ground off the hero blobs and I'm in fear of pivoting the bike on them and binning it. Next year I will take my bike to Wilcox Engineering to get the engine ported and polished. The engine is cast and so it's rough inside. Wilcox will take it apart and polish it down. The smooth internals will allow the fuel to burn cleaner and the gas to escape quicker which will give me a better throttle response. It will make the bike quicker, but not me, I'll just have less of an excuse when I crash! For a country that lacks a written constitution, we sure do love our rights! I D Cards have made the headlines again. To be honest, I can't see any reason to introduce them. The countries that do have them don't have less crime, less fraud, less illegal aliens, or well ;-) less anything that the pro-ID Card brigade cite for their introduction. Mr Muffin has been hunting for information regarding a suicide in the car park of a "DIY" store (I kid you not). If it's the spectacular you want, then take a leaf out of Ryan's Book That looks like a lot of effort to me. Whilst you're browsing Rag's site, take your time to read his review of the riots in South America. I loved my time in Venezuela, but there is no way I would want to be caught up in a crowd disturbance over there, not with people who drive with their pistols on the dashboard 16 December 2002
How Funny? watching the pro-hunting protesters flee in panic as the police on horses chase them through the streets of London! Hate spam? Get your own back nerdy style. It's only a quickie darling, I'm off to have dinner with my work shy brother 15 December 2002
Ressssult!!! Unexpected goal scoring hero and match winner was Mr Jovan Kirovski. He's not done much since he arrived but thats propbably been to the injury and the death of his father. There's a decent report on the BBC Sport website. The STB report is up and once again, Ron has written a fair report. The ref, Mr D'Urso made sure, once again, that he figured in the fans talk after the game. Less than a handful of Blues players made it into the book. Looks like we haven't managed to get rid of the mad cow problem. The british love of Gatso's continues. Some Nimbys put fake ones in their gardnes, others tear them down. 14 December 2002
The Bluetitch Five (ghost written by Mr Mungus) has now moved home and can be found here 1. Savages I'm not a big fan of Walt and his Disney empire. They take good stories and make them shit. Thre are tales of old Walt shagging the devil whilst Hitler looked on. I'm sure they are true. I also get fucked off witht eh way they do that American PC thing and insist that any evil character is English. Even in the voice overs. 2. Fook knows. Really. I can't tell you a number one from a non chart entry. 3. Hmmmm. Probably a Mudhoney Track. Superfuzz Bigmuff is one of my all time favs, so any track from there I'll go for "Touch me I'm sick". I used to play D Jr's "Freak Scene" alot before going out to get me worked up. Always worked. 4. I don't sing (thank God) 5. I was always fooked off that I never got to see the Smiths live. So probably them. Or Rosa Mota as they did a very good live set (and I got pally with the lead singer ;-) ) My daughter will kill me but last night we agreed on a middle name if Mogli turns out to be a girl. It's Arwen. How sad? We couldn't agree on anything. Any name I put forward was viewed with suspicion "didn't you go out with someone called "name"? Not sure where I got Arwen from. I read the book ages ago and we've not been to see the new film, but I suppose all those recent pictures of Liv Tyler are to blame. I'm sure we'll change our minds before we have to register, otherwise I can see me greeting my daughter's boyfriends with "Welcome to the house of Elrond" full of shit 12 December 2002
Blog still haven't read my request for help, so I've sent them a little reminder ;-) I wonder what their policy on spam is? Watch this space! Weebl and Bob take the piss out of Final Fantasy 7. I can't believe how many ours I wasted playing that fecking game. Kids these days don't know they are born, that's why they have to ask some stranger on the internet for advice, people like Emily I wonder which option he'll take? Seems like some journalists can't resist an obvious pun Nice short film - Beat the devil and they look soooo cute 10 December 2002
Love unspoken Faith unbroken All life through Strings are playing Hear them saying "I love you" Now the echo answers "Say you want me too" All the world's in love with love And I love you THEY are out there and THEY are listening to you. Get paranoid. Hide. Talk to no one. Read this site Wait for instructions. Bluetitch has a song in her head every day. It says too much about her, I think, that she only has room for one tune, but it keeps her happy and a happy Bluetitch is a nicer than an angry Bluetitch IMHO. Anyway, I digrees (decent pub for us aged yuppie types). Today I have been humming the theme tune to Starfleet. No one asked any questions. I was left alone today. I was an angry person. Someone has started a rumour that I've resigned. Normally wouldn't bother me but we've got a "consultant" in who is looking at the firm and making changes. A few rats have already jumped ship. I think the rumour started because I spent more than an hour with my boss. What they don't know is that I was being told what they have in mind for me. All good news. I was told that my job is "Bulletproof", so I cancelled my order with those nice people at Defence Products. If this was football I would be shit scared; it must be akin to the dreaded vote of confidence. I was also made because I missed the Blues v Southampton game. I had to work all weekend because I had 2 trials this week. Guess what? They've both been fecking cancelled by the court because they didn't have enough judges! I didn't answer BT'S 5 last week. Or 2 as the case was. The people I would invite would be Anais Nin, Aryton Senna, William Buroughs the Prophet Mohammed and Sigourney Weaver. And yes, they would all have a great time as long as I could keep Mohammed and Burroughs apart :-) 09 December 2002
AN UPDATE YOU CHUFFIN VULTURES! I've been a busy bunny. Work, it gets in the way of my social life and quality surf time. Busy week last week and this week looks like it'll keep me off the net. For those of you soft in head and idle in hand, waste some time bouncing bears. I can already see the inane grins. Be careful what you sell or buy on the internet, or how you sell it. Look carefully at the picture near the bottom, then question what it is you're getting for your money! Blog haven't looked into my template problem, bless em. I've done a print out of the source codes from this site and a sample site I set up. I'll compare them later. Deqth hasn't done much to his online lego but at least he's given them all two legs now. My mate Terry, who has more money than Ragamuffin has black days, has decided to take up mini-moto racing(wee bikes). And so have his kids looks like Terry wants to live his dreams through his off spring, a sure sign of old age ;-) I've got a really sad story to tell. But not now. Stay tuned. 03 December 2002
Christmas is here! How do I know? Because everyone has tuned their mobile phones to play a festive tune. Deep Joy I don't mind Christmas, really I don't. The problem is that work in the City Centre, so for the next 5 weeks I have to put up with Christmas shoppers and January Sales bargain hunters as I go about my usual business. Happy shoppers with their charming children politely asking mummy whether it would be possble to go to that nice shop called McDonalds (which isn't really evil honest) So, this time of year, I run out at lunch time, grab a sandwich and run back to my office to hide. I hide until well after 6 to let these delightful people take theiroh so delightful children onto the oh so delightful public transport and go home. My Middle East Rant A lot of talk about Iraqi torture. Funny how this has become a topical subject for our glorious leaders of the west. For years amnesty international have pleaded with people to take notice of the mound of evidence that this was going on. Sweden, the US and UK amongst others turned a blind eye because sales of weapons to this "developing" country were very profitable. Iraq has been used, most notably by the UK, as a test bed for weapons and techniques of war for more than 100 years. I guess the US has some new and dazzling way to kill people that hasn't yet been shown on CNN. Saudi Arabis has the highest execution rate in the world. But that's not something the US turns it's nose up, oh no. The cynic in me reckons the ruling Saudis will be allowed to carry on so long as airfields, air space and army bases are offered to Bush Jr. But we all know the real truth don't we? We don't? But its obvious! Texan Bush is in awe of the Saudis record of clearing its prisons. Bet you feel foolish you didn't spot that one! At the same time, Israel, a friend of the US and gold card bulk purchase discount member of ordance and training from Uncle Sam will carry on its good work in preventing lawfl Arabs from growing or reaping their crops, opening their shops, go to work or school their children. Hess and Hitler taught them a thing or two and I'm sure they would have been proud of Israel's development of a biologocal weapon that targetted the Arab gene. Shame its shared with Israelis. This is what bored Urban Terror players get up to, they use their computers to do lego simulations! I told you we was sad! Watch this space and see it grow! (bet you can't wait, can you?) I hope this works, it's worth a ganderLOTR out-take! 02 December 2002
I appear to have killed my Blog. I'm clever like that :-) Hmmm. 3 Options, try to fix it myself, ask the very nice (hint hint) Mr Muffin to do me a new design or start again. Think I'll work in that order. Watch this space (or don't as the case might be) Pah! I seem to have ballsed this up :-( I upgraded to Blog Spot plus and ever since I don't seem able to load up a template :-/ Oh well, learn by your mistakes. I could be worse, I could either a) pester my other half to death to do it for me or b) cop out and use an easier version. I'll stick with Blog ta very much ;-) 01 December 2002
Super Blues We managed a draw against Tottenham Hotspur. When you look at the players in their squad, it's a good result, but having seen the number of chances we had, a decent forward would have given us all 3 points. Stern John is lacking confidence and Morrison doesn't seem to be settled. Stan Lazaridis had a great game and the unlikey scorer, Kenna, hadn't found the net for more than 7 years! Maybe he should play up front, as his record is getting near Morrisons ;-) Cisse and Savage still dominate the midfield, refusing to let the other team play football. The picture is from Singing the Blues Brian, the guy who runs it, always seems to one of the first to publish photos from the game. Real men Blog, those that can't use ix1. One such person is Hugh Mungus a man of many names. He'll have a go at me for critising Clinton, but I can't take the word of a man with blue hair :-) Cricket Another dismal performance by the England Cricket team. Australia retain the ashes and we didn't even make them work for it. Piss poor. Tis Sunday, if you're bored, waste a few hours at the rocket arcade 29 November 2002
It's time for this weeks Bluetitch 5 1. I don't tell lies 2. That Father Christmas was real. 3. Not telling 4. Mogli. Rumour has it that you are supposed to keep your mouth shut for the first 3 months. I blabbed as soon as I knew! 5. If it was a good lie, then I would believe it and wouldn't therefore know that it was a lie. Makes sense to me :-) I'm at work at the moment. I'll add more later. Haven't checked up on Weebl and Bob for a while and there's a new episode if you haven't seen it already. I was doing a search on Will Self and lo and behold, what do I spot? One of my ex's is involved in some Brighton literature ring (similar to the white slave, but more people get hurt). Question is, do I send her a mail? Hmmmmm. It looks like drugs and guns don't mix. Next time you catch your dearly beloved in the fridge, show him/her the consequences Talking of fat lasses, Mrs Kwacky reckons she has started to feel Mogli moving about. If he wakes me up again, they'll both be jiggly around in the spare room. I feel the need for wine and weed. TTFN 27 November 2002
Little Words, strung together, can have big meanings. "I love you", "I do" (my wedding was chanted in Thai so I'm not sure I said "I do"!) and "test results NORMAL" We received written confirmation that little kwacky checks out ok. Physically at least. He's already known as Mogli as we have a house full of animals. Anyway, it's a weight off our minds. If you don't fancy risking the real thing, try this on-line motorbike game Don't forget to check out Fat Buddha's Blog. Possibly the web's best source of interesting and amusing links. 26 November 2002
The BBC viewers decided that Winston Churchill was the greatest Briton. I still can’t believe Lady Di was in the top 10, but the public view a media darling as being a contribution to the general good of this land. The flip side to the victory for the man who popularised the V sign (that’s the polite V) has been the resurgence of the Brit haters, who have called for Churchill to be tried as a war criminal. It is true that countless thousands of Germans suffered due to the carpet bombing of historical towns and cities. This, it is argued, it good reason to cast a cloud over the achievements of this man who was only small in height. The majority of these people believe that those in command are cold; that they see men as numbers and war as nothing more than a challenging game of chess on a shifting board. Horrocks, the commander of XXX British Corps, who often fought alongside the Canadians in some of the bloodiest battles of the Western Front, was responsible for the safety of more than 450,000 allied troops. Bogged down and preparing for the push that would end the war in Europe, a small historic town lay in the path of his army. That town was Cleve. Home to the 4th wife of Henry VIII. Horrock had to order the destruction of that town. He later wrote in his book, Corps Commander:- “the most terrible decision I had ever to make in my life, and I can assure you I felt almost physically sick………… when. I saw the bombers flying overhead on their deadly mission………. After the war I used to suffer nightmares and literally for years these always concerned Cleve” Little comfort to the poor souls who once lived in the town that had stood for 1500 years but these decisions have to be made and these men are prepared to make them. I guess it’s all too easy, 50, 60 years on to criticise but for some reason unknown, too many are ashamed of the history of this land. Rant over. (believe me, I’ve kept it brief!) The Bluetitch 5 Yes, I know it’s late. 1. What is the most romantic thing you’ve done? 2. what is the most romantic thing that someone has done to/for you? 3. what is the most romantic piece of music you’ve heard? 4. what is the most romantic film you’ve seen 5. what is the most romantic thing you would like to do but haven’t? I hate this woman >-[ 1. I was a poor and penniless lad in my late teens. My poor post grad girlfriend was taken by her mate’s boyfriends plan to take her away for the weekend. Nowt special, just a B&B I think. So, I got some money together and booked into a plush hotel in Birmingham. Not telling my squeeze where we were going, I just old her to pack an overnight bag. We used to drink in the city centre so walking past this particular hotel wasn’t anything new, but this time, we stopped. The look of surprise on her face was worth 10 times the price of the room. 2. I was ill with the flu. Proper flu, not man’s “it’s a cold but I’ll say it’s the flu”. My girlfriend at the time bought me some flowers and came round to nurse me. I was touched. 3. Not much of an opera buff but I do love Carmen. I realise that the story line was changed so that she is killed because of her perceived threat to law and order, however, I still well up when she passes away. Can’t think of the piece now (atrocious memory when it comes to names) but if it comes to me, I’ll edit. 4. Strange as it may seem, but Gladiator twangs a heart sting or two. There is this man who battled throughout his life to remain alive, yet, when he has defeated his arch foe, rather than fight on and stay alive, he gives up to be with his wife. I also enjoyed Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of R&J, even if some of the acting was shite. 5. Oooooh toughie. I’ve purposely left out any references to me and Mrs Kwacky but this time I can’t escape. Sam and I love spending time together. Sad I know but true. So although we’ve frequently gone away together I think it would be nice for me to book something special, like Paris or Vienna, come home and tell her to pack her bags. Hackneyed I know, but there you go. I realise that I’ve not konfessed to anything yet. No point in having a confessional if you can’t open up. Hmm. Where do I start? When I was a wee lad, me and a friend used to sing in the church choir. One week, we stole some money from the collection plate to buy cigarettes. Look, I can't start you off on the big stuff just yet, can I? We hardly know one another. Urban Terror Not much happening. OVER have recently formed and seem a decent bunch. Other stuff Channel 4 had a strange programme concerning women's obsessions with their backsides. The flip side (there always is on C4!) is that this followed one woman who wanted to make it BIGGER For just $14,000!! Only in the dear old US of A. And they wonder why no one likes them? Burn 'em all! Joe has hit the big time! His kittens have made it to mainstream TV. 16 November 2002
Another week Not much to konfess I'm afraid; I've been a good little boy this week. Still not too sure what to do with this blog. The most important event was taking my wife to the local women's hosptal for an amniocentesis. These guys explain it far better than I can :- Stanford Little kwacky was not happy wth having his (don't know the sex, my wife wants a surprise!) photograph taken. Each time the midwife found some clear space, this little bottom would appear on the screen! All seems to be well, just got to wait 2 or 3 weeks for the results. Mrs Kwacky is getting fed up as her bump swells and the available ward robe diminishes. Already agreed on a name, George or Georgia, after my grandad. If it's a boy then his middle name will be Harvey. My choice. Mrs Kwacky isn't too keen and I've seen a few funny faces when it's been mentioned, but hey ho, if you listen to everyone and take their advice, you get no where. The Bluetitch 5 An alternative to the Friday 5. Bluetitch seems a cheery sort, which is quite amazing in my opinion, as short arses normally have a short fuse. Anyway, it can be found on Mr Muffins site and it is updated every week Bluetitch 5 I suppose I should answer them. 1. All of the seasons have their charms, but winter in England is my favourite. We don't get as much snow as we used to, which is a shame. Henry, my airedale (an example) loves the snow, as does Mrs Kwacky. A good snowball fight, duck back indoors then settle down in front of the open fire and enjoy some tea and crumpets. Winter wipes the slate clean and you know spring isn't too far away. The days are dark but soon get longer - hope in the darkest hour and all that Blitz stuff. 2. Hard one this. It really depends what mood I'm in. I'll eat almost anything ad I'm always ready for food. If had one last meal then I would order some chicken pakora from the rather splendid Trident Hotel, jaipur, India. Trident HotelI still can't believe they make chicken taste so good. 3. Kawasaki Green of course! Kwak 4 Toughie. Either Tad and Nirvana at Edward's 8 or Sonic Youth at The Hummingbird 5. Venezuela. Without hesitation. Canaima in particular. The second photo on that site was my view one morning as I got out of bed. Urban Terror The long awaited 2.6 release is out and it's got more bugs than the aforementioned Canaima National park. It's taken SID 7 months to release 2.6. I can't beleive it's so fecking bad. It kicks you off the server on start up, tells you you've got the wrong version, auto switches your weapons and its favourite trick is to make your screen go black! Looks like I'm not the only unhappy camper Rant! Rant! Rant! Blues! Bring on the Fulham. Tough one this. Fulham aren't playing that well in the league but they are capable of some good fotball. We need to bounce back after the drubbing handed out by Chelsea last week. Neither side are known for their clean sheets so goals are expected. Horsefield may start against his old club, if he does and with his 3 match ban due to start after the game, he has to make sure he gets on the scoresheet if he does't want Bruce to forget about him.

I always think there's something not quite right about a person who wants to vent his spleen on the internet. What is it they hope for? A global empathy? Mental images of the intelligensia nodding in agreement at their profound yet oh so obvious argument? A desire to wreck their pisiform bone? Or do they need to get a life? I'm the latter I think. I spend far too much time on the internet. At work I'm on the internet posting on football sites such as PlanetBlues or Premier-Blues and checking up on my mates at sportsbiker.com Then I go home and what do I do? Spend time with my loving wife? Nope - I sit on IRC and play Urban Terror UT or someother shoot em up. It's my first one, I'll keep it brief ;-) |
