I basically like my job, but I'm (finally) getting bored of it. Not ready to jump ship just yet, especially with the economy the way it is, but I reckon I'll be looking to do something different in a couple of years even if it means taking a hit financially.

By no means a "small-time" subject matter, but anyway, really interesting piece on the problems in Dutch amateur football here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/dec/21/richard-nieuwenhuizen-dutch-death-linesman

A broken record for the pair of you.

Good stuff.

Urgh, right, train tickets booked for tomorrow. Fingers crossed for no flooding on the line...

Marvellous

"Chum". It couldn't be, could it...?

Just been out to lunch with a few friends who were there last night. Sounds like you missed a treat. (Although at first brief glance I did think it was Michael Barrymore on the right. )

That's a bit special...

Still got a bit of a throat on, which is a fine excuse for a spiced rum toddy. And another one. Cheers.

They're having me work on Christmas Eve. Morning only. Just to be as annoying as possible. Anyway, let's boogie!

Did a small roast chicken tonight (I know turkey dinner season is imminent, but needed space in the freezer!) and among the sides, I'd forgotten how brilliant savoy cabbage is. Fried some onions, chucked in the sliced cabbage with some water and steamed it under the lid till tender, then melted some butter through the lot. Bit of sea salt and pepper, done, easy as that and dead tasty (plus it was 50p for three cabbages from Lewisham market - bargain!).

And if the sophistication of the recipe wasn't enough, as a bonus, it's absolutely seasoning-free.

I'll often just Google instead, it's quicker. film recently watched site:toontastic.net Sorted.

We used to go quite a lot, never really loved them but then it was always rubbish people like the Krankies. Then I went to one at the Tyne Theatre as an adult, with the whole family all grown up, and it was a lot of fun. Apparently wine is the way to approach these things.

That explains a lot...
