Well, I don't want to burst your bubble, but now haven't you landed yourself in a cake plate dilemna?

Ethereal double header whilst I concentrate. It worked - just solved that problem.

Unless that was some kind of living room show, that doesn't sound a very fitting turnout for his level of talent.

Top of the morning to you. All bright eyed and bushy tailed here.

"You are awful - but I like you."

"You've all done very well" EDIT Shock horror! He's chairman of the company that owns most of the one I work for!

Up the Irish!

Once particular auntie-in-law were ever worse than the men. Gold teeth glinting as well as eyes. Much as I love you all, I much go now! Good night!

Still under control! I have drunk Russians under the table (Verbier New Year 1997 - soft lads my age, but some of the uncles-in-law were just too much in Kyrgyzstan. I can still see the glint in their eyes. Hard men indeed!). Official status: "Slightly merry". I don't drink often. I'd rather have a soft drink than an odd pint. But when the time and company is right, you've got to go all out. Also "Brahms and Liszt" = pissed

Tub = terrible waste. Are you thinking Who album cover? Fit for a king I tell you! I had beans on toast on Saturday. Sainsburys value own brand - 11p. Not your connoisseur sauce, but hits the spot.

I just sent a PM to Froggie, the gist of which is "I am a bit drunk". I think he may appreciate it. (I did make some spelling errors when typing that, but sensibility kicked in to pull me back from the brink) P.S. It's been a while since I have imbibed the vodka! P.P.S Ta ta!

My God, those people look like ants down there!

Hey, that's my job!

You can tell that Emmylou isn't Welsh - forced to the back, no ruck and maul skills there! Actually, I saw here at Cambridge when watching Eddie Reader from the VIP area at the side (all very low key, which was nice) a few hours before she went on. All I can say is: "the miracle of hairspray", even though I treasure her dearly. I know! We were told on our visit that we were very lucky not to have "The Fog" in attendance. We stayed with a guy (friends of our real friends, living down in Silicon Valley somewhere I forget) who, during Vietnam military service (he was a doctor) was stationed at

Donkey Hotey = Don Quixote, after Bobthingy's Man of La Mancha lyrics (which do bring a tear to the eye) Just checking

If I ever owned a donkey, I would call him Hotey

My best friend at Uni came from Weybridge, and one night saw 'the other guy' (name escapes me right now) practically crying into his beer ("I'm all washed up etc.") after the Style Council broke up. Rick Buckler still lives locally and restores antiques. At the end of his garden, his compost heap has his old drum kit on it (saw this on a London TV Where Are They Now type thing).

Actually, I did know that was the reason What was that old Australlian TV series set during the war - half of it set in Oz and half in Tobruk. Must have been about the first Australian TV ever shown here (ages before the Kylie & Jason invasion etc.) Perhaps that's where my hat fixation started.

So, the BBC lied to me Saw Swansea and quite enjoyed that (Welsh guile beats English brawn) on Saturday, but was really looking forward to the game on Sunday. Still, nice result. Not sure if the bonus points put us out of sight in the group. Playing to any pass-by traffic: USA qualified for the World Cup on Saturday!
