Well it's gone quiet, no?

Just come in from the pub, where once again Smorgs was a no-show, where in a healthy smoke-free atmosphere we discussed the events of the week, foreign travel experiences, sport, and Manchester United (a separate category)
Just come in from the pub where once again Smorgs danced on the table in an unhealthy atmosphere full of venom after David Camerons speech and we discussed German railway police, Hobgoblins, and the demise of Liverpool. (As a capital of culture).

Has she had them on for any significant length of time or played netball in them? If she's been cycling with Mathos in them count me out.

You'll have to knock on doors.

Guitar class tonight.

Noodling on the guitar yesterday, (after practising my scales, of course) I worked out the chords for "Only You", you know, the old Platters song.

In B flat.

Quite rewarding, and fun.

Well that's right, but he was only doing what has becoming commonplace, especially by foreign teams but increasingly here, of feigning injury or of pretending a foul was committed when there was no contact.

I think the player should serve a ban and the club (they carried him off on a stretcher, don't forget) should be warned and fined.

As for the stupid fan, his motivation seemed to be just a desire to be cheeky. He only brushed the goalie. I bet he regrets it now.

We noted that kind of activity (pretending injury/ taking a dive) during the world cup.

Especially from the italians.

Mind you, players MUST be protected from pitch invaders. Imagine if the fan had a knife.

Do you mind daddie! You'll be giving all the little dears in the Nanny bureaucracies ideas about how to further extend their fiefdoms.

Italy is a fine place, but is a place also where you can still see many crepe-skinned, prematurely-wrinkled people with wet coughs and smelling of singed socks, smoking cigarettes.

By these frequent protestations, your attachment to your faith in the evils of tobacco is continually fortified, and, in proportion to your increase of zeal, you are enabled, by a certain psychological process much in vogue these days, to offer combat, with all the more rigour and ardour, in the war you have undertaken against the imperious yearning you obviously have to smoke a fag or two and relieve your envy of those who do.

All joking aside about this fag job Spendi, you no doubt realise that letting the pillocks get away with the pub ban, has encouraged them to throw you down in muddy puddles, **** on you and tweak your nipples at will.

The hoodies will be excused ASBO's if they only pick on puffers! **** you won't be able to have one in your bloody car next!

It'll be fourteen weeks for me on Monday and its still bloody hard work. Had what the Doc calls a fall of soot in my lungs which has almost crippled me today. I couldn't go to the gym, that's for sure. Never had a chest like this when I was puffing my way through three packs of Capstan Full Strength a day back in the 70's.

I'm not going back on it thats for sure, but if I had known I would have had to go through this lot, I'd have thought stuff it, I'll carry on puffing!

Good on yer, Mathos, me old fruit.

Hey where's Smorgs, gone walkabout no doubt, a woman of mystery for sure. She's probably gone to buy more gusset bleach.
I've been to the Bull's Head in Granby Row, a fine city hostelry, had more than strictly speaking is good for me of Hobgoblin Ale, and had a full English on Station Approach on the way home.

sorry you dont feel well matthey. Surprised about this fall of soot condition, must be a medical term: I've never heard of it. Chimney sweeps perhaps.

still what you have to do is keep biking hiking and ....something else Iking cant think.

but I always knew there was something funny about Capstan full strength since I saw the exhaled smoke hit the deck like a cascade.

Anyway congrats on the 14 weeks on monday, if you make it.
