I may or may not have bought the cassette single of that from Woolies for 49p.

As opposed to the high heels the rest of us wear about the place, I suppose. Mind you...

Greeks being oversensitive as usual. </xenophobia>

The "RANDOM" capitalisation of the KEY words in the SENTENCE?

That can't be Gemmill, he wouldn't let himself be seen in public without a scrap of girly cashmere on him.

Even the posters look awful.

'You' named Time's person of 2006 "You" have been named as Time magazine's Person of the Year for the growth and influence of user-generated content on the internet. The US magazine praised the public for "seizing the reins of the global media" and filling the web's virtual world. Time has been giving its controversial awards since 1927, aiming to identify those who most affect the news. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Chinese leader Hu Jintao and North Korea's Kim Jong-il were 2006 runners. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, his wife Melinda and rock star Bono won the accolade last year and recent winners also include President George W Bush in 2004, and "The American Soldier" in 2003. The magazine said naming a collectivity rather than an individual reflected the way the internet was shifting the balance of power within the media through blogs, videos and social networks. Time cited websites such as YouTube, Facebook, MySpace and Wikipedia, which allow users to interact with the web by uploading and publishing their own comments, videos, pictures and links. "It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes," Time magazine's Lev Grossman writes. Time praised the tool that made such broad collaboration possible - the web. "It's a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter," Mr Grossman said. Time aims to pick "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill". Previous winners have often sparked controversy - including Adolf Hitler in 1938 and, in 1979, Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.

I'm not sure what's more annoying, Americans who think they're Irish or Americans who think they're German... Sure the beer's class though.

Mainz lost 4-0 at home to Bayern and are looking increasingly doomed. And Hamburg still can't buy a win - 3-3 away to Aachen, for gawd's sake.

Orange juice and paracetomol, or whatever your usual advice is for a hangover. 1g of paracetamol. 400mg of ibuprofen. Something like that anyway. Dear me. I don't feel great! Excellent preparation for tomorrow night then. Your liver's going to be thoroughly pickled by the end of the week.

Ye big hairy slut.

I hate to nominate a 'best of', but the double-CD Die Ärzte collection is fookin class.

None taken. It's all about the red wine and the Belgian beer in this part of the world, anyway.

you're probably trying to reclaim the title of "board Hom" and will crank up your bitch-iness to get your painted fingers wrapped around the tassley handles of a tacky pot, your limp wrists can barely support. go felch a hamster, bumoboy Would that I could even dream of competing with Gemmill and Renton in that category.

I whinge because time passes slowly. I'm generally in a good mood on a Friday though and I light up your lives on this place. You're like a fat Eeyore today. With Gordon Ramsay's face. A.A.Milne is turning in his grave, not even Eeyore is as much a grouch as Renton today. I've seen statues with more joi de vivre Gargoyles, even! Thems the buggers I had the word Gorgon running about my head and couldn't shake it... clearly was thinking of Gargoyles though. wonder why I had Gorgons in my head..... Gorgonzola more like, you fat fuck. Sorry, don't know where that came from.

Finished my work around midday - well, there's stuff I could be doing, but it can wait till Monday - so I've been wrapping Christmas presents ever since. I'm not very good at wrapping Christmas presents.

They wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Always knew the current board would bring us success on the European stage.

Spawny bastards. Porto-Chelsea should be a giggle, anyway.

The Fish is seething.

£40 each all-in, so not exactly a fortune (and most of that is in taxes etc., natch). Turns out Ryanair for the outgoing leg is still dirt-cheap (£20 each with taxes), which is somewhat less than a centrally located hotel in Gothenburg would cost, I imagine, and would actually get us where we want to be at a reasonable time of day, so I reckon that's going to have to be it...

Off to Jönköping in Sweden, a couple of hours from sunny Gothenburg, for a weekend in February. Rather than submitting to Ryanair's increasingly bizarre range of extra charges and general unpleasantness, we booked with FlyMe, a cheerful-/dubious- (delete as applicable) sounding Swedish low-cost outfit. Aaaand they've just moved us from the 12:50 flight to the (cheaper) 20:30 flight, which arrives too late for any kind of bus or train on to Jönköping. Naturally, the small print gives them every right to do so without recompense, and I suppose it's always "buyer beware" when you're dealing with cheap airlines. This is the first time I've been screwed around quite so spectacularly though. Pack of c-words. Why, I might just go back to bed in protest.
