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.

IS GEMMILL HUNG LIKE A CHINESE MOUSE?

I wouldn't be too worried..... Gerrin

Requires a stiff upper lip tbpfh. It's like having an artificially erect cock tbs tbs.

Happy birthday mister.

Under Byen - Det er mig der holder træerne sammen Magic little album this, comes in somewhere between Portishead and Björk with the sensibilities of some of Sigur Rós's more upbeat (ha!) numbers.

Questions to everyone: What are you most proud of doing in your life? What are your ambitions for the rest of it? Dunno; dunno

For someone who's "bored" with it, mind, you aren't half stringing things out.

I have nibbled on both ends of one many a time.

I IS USING TEHH INTARNET

The Germans would serve that up with mustard in a bun.

So the request "Can I watch?" is made merely out of scientific curiosity?

Like a gay mind reader! Gay minds are the easiest to read.

You're in Brighton, aren't you? It could be a lot worse...

There's an easy enough way to work out how you feel about the Leazes system. Blackburn have won the Premiership since its inception and been relegated from it; we've done neither. We have a better average position than them. Which would you prefer?

Dear me.
