Thursday 13th November 2008

Are you getting bored of the football match analyses I'm providing? Shame, cause here's another! Tottenham V Liverpool was the big game last night, with Spurs winning 4 - 2. Tremendous entertainment yet again, although Spurs left back (Gareth Bale, google him, looks a little effeminate) is surely the worst left back I've seen thus far this season.


Apologies, moving onto more pressing issues - the holiday. The dates discussed will be fine, as previously advised I was just trying to keep as large a gap as possible between Luca's appointment and the holiday, and the distance between will now certainly suffice.


I've got a new birthday present on route at present. No, I haven't turned 34 earlier than expected (I'll still expect many thoughtful cards and "Forbidden Planet" vouchers next July!), this is merely a replacement to the digital radio dad got me. As previously advised, it died after a couple of weeks (perhaps Luca's peanut butter encrusted fingers didn't help) and was returned for repair. Unfortunately, they couldn't repair it and nor could they replace it - they've now stopped making them! As such, dad got a refund and told me to pick a new one. So I've picked one which is designed to look like a "Marshalls" amp - if you're a movie buff you'll recognise this from the classic 80's film "Spinal Tap". And yes, it has a volume knob which gos up to 11!!


I've caught a bad cold today, so every woman I speak to on the phone at work today seems to be hanging on the phone longer than normal - apparently I've got that "sexy" croaky voice thing today. If only the reality was even close.... Carole is likely of a different opinion as she was kept awake most of the night by snores which sounded like a family of pigs at mealtime.


Still, I'll hopefully be better by the weekend, and ready for a weeks holiday. Yes, another week off! I get a decent amount of holidays per year, and kind of forgot to take many earlier on. It's great, I could handle this "2 weeks on, 1 week off" thing all year round.


Have I mentioned it's Caroles birthday next week?


Apologies for the lack of Luca photo's as promised, due to the cold I have I crashed out last night as soon as the football ended - hopefully I'll post them tonight. If I stay awake long enough.


**Useless fact of the day - it's not possible to catch a cold by standing in the cold. No matter how cold it is and how long you stand there. Colds are actually bugs, and you're a thousand percent more likely to catch a cold in a warm office than in the North Pole**
