Another Year Another Big Brother

Yes, once again its that time of year again when everyone says they won't be caught dead watching big brother but low and behold its all they seem to talk about in work the next day. They call it the water cooler syndrome, we are always going to be curious about what the other guys are talking about....but then 7 seasons in we can't fool anyone anymore....just watch the bloody thing and admit to watching it. There I sat again waiting for this years housemates seeing attractive woman after attractive woman walk into the house realising there's going to be no men....happy days....what man wants to watch other men for 24 hours. But then what man wants to listen to 19 year old girls squealing in the tv show for 30 mins...Either way I'll watch it anyway....just because there's very little else to do with my evenings....

Day of Reflection

Awoken with a hangover that could have felled a huge donkey, I embarked on a day of quiet reflection on a night that should have seen Liverpool 6 times champions of europe. But, for a second season in a row the English team returned home empty handed from the final....maybe this time we deserved it more, we had no luck.

Anyway, back to work today still a little bit shellshocked..(more from alchol than the result)...to find that my friendly workmates have plastered everything on my desk in AC Milan momentos.....ohh how they find so much glee in my misfortune.

Lets hope we can rebuild and wipe that smile off their faces for next season.

Tea is healthier than Water

I always knew it was true, the tea is the giver of life, I actually can't really start or end a day without a cup of tea or coffee...a bit like Jeeves from the PG woodhouse novels.

Big Sam has a big job

Newcastle are perrenial under-achievers and yet it seems to be the place many well regarded managers go to loose their reputations. Many have gone before to the sword there Bobby Robson, Kevin Keegan, Rudd Ghullit, Graeme Souness just to name a few, some of those had actually won league titles with less fashionable clubs before taking up the reigns, something Big Sam has never actually done.

So, will Sam bring them to the brink like Keegan and Robson or will his career be left in tatters like Souness and Ghullit.....only time will tell.....one thing is for sure it will prove to be a bigger job than sustaining the limp appitites of the Bolton faithful.

But then, all he needs to do is buy himself a decent defence and keep Freddie Shepard happy by winning the Carling cup or whatever its called these days.

All - Ireland Slam

Good man Gerard in getting a great result last weekend in the first All-Ireland poetry slam.
Just saw a link today for footage of the Ulster Slam, some classic video here from the BBC of the guys I perform with on a regular basis.

Euro deaf

Did anyone reading this blog see the terrible poop that was Eurovision? In past years I was able to sit getting gradually blocked whilst watching Albanian's jump around in Monkey suits and feel strangely smug that at least Ireland didn't particularly care who won this event. In fact laughing with Terry was great and putting a bet on the most rediculous bollox would have been a reason to keep a little bit tense. But this year was the final straw. Ireland were crap, having a song that warrants a hundred Irish musicans on stage at the same time is sure to be a failure...beaten by a fat Christopher Biggins covered in Tinfoil and a butch lesbian surrounded by other skinnier more attractive lesbians....I mean where is the magic of Johnny Logan now?

Don't Hassle the Hoff

Despite poor old Hasslehoff having a bad old few weeks of it, being filmed by his daughter drunk as a skunk, he is still king of the internet.

I mean he has lived an extraordinary life already but to then create such videos as the following brings him to another level:

Hooked on a feeling
Jump in my car
Looking for freedom
Secret Agent Man

And a special treat Live in Berlin

Athens

Been completely slack on this lark this week without at least commenting a little about another great night for us Liverpool Supporters.....had the nails ravaged as I watched the game just trundle on.....I couldn't believe the off-side decision on Durk Kuyt.....and how good Zenden dispatched that penalty and finally how good Reina was on the day....

The next day was frivilous as I hoped for a Milan opponent just because I think that United would have beaten us in the last minute and I couldn't have taken that.
