and from now on
FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Chelsea today. I’d rather like Liverpool to win this one; but I fear the Blues may have just a bit too much firepower at their disposal. Also, North London derby. By the way, Arseweb looks like someone stepped out of a time machine from the early 90s to do up the site. Gawd.
Anyway, those two momentous sporting events require a visit to the local later on today. Not sure Arsenal deserve to win, but since I’ve been tagged as the Arsenal supporter in the quartet I work with; I should live upto expectations and root for them, eh?. Considering that one of the other people in the quartet support the Spurs, and we have a rabid Man Utd and Wanderers supporter in to finish the foursome, I’d call this a motley crew of Premiership supporters. Here’s hoping Henry comes to the party.
Also, I’ll be in London wrangling with the chumps in the embassy on Tuesday and I’ll also be loitering around a day or so longer than needed. Still haven’t called my sister to let her know I’m crashing her place, so that should be an entertaining telephone conversation. Also debating hacking off the way-past-the-shoulder-length hair during the visit. Always did tell myself that it was an experiment and I was going to cut it off eventually… On a related note, I isolated and snipped off a near 50cm long strand of pure white hair the other day. Woo.
And I need to figure out something nifty to get my two nieces to make up (at least a little bit) for being a boring and self absorbed uncle stuck away in York for the past year. That last task strikes more fear in my craven heart than anything else. Gonna be a fun week.

to be fair though, and i hope your colleagues appreciate this, you’ve never struck me as a gooner. arsenal fans can be tolerated - gooners are disgusting. you can even experience goonism first hand in SL at the cricket cafe, whenever Arsenal are playing. there seems to be a bunch of them living and working over here.
