Weather Update.

Let history record that there was half an hour in July 2009 when it didn't rain. Clearly it's torrential again now.

Formulating Opinion...

So...

I am not sure what to think. I mean, first of all, it hardly looks faithful to the book. Secondly, I am not sure if I like that stop motion animation. In fact, I was hardly going to mention the trailer at all.

But then..

"I don't have a bandit hat... but I modified this tube sock."

Still, I guess that, all in all it still just looks like a kids movie. It looks like they have taken some of the better bits and made a nice trailer. But still, when it comes around in a few years on TV I will probably watch.

Sir Alex Speaks

"Obviously Cristiano is a big loss in terms of the goals he gave us, but we will just have to find the goals from somewhere else.

Usually you look to score about 100 goals in all competitions, so we are aiming for that again. If we are going to win the league again or do well in Europe we certainly need players to step up. Going back a few years, we could always be guaranted goals from Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, who always pitched in.

I will be looking to Carrick, Park, Nani, Valencia - even Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda - to contribute 40 goals between them."

So... no pressure then.

Retrospective - Good News

You may remember how a few months ago I heard the great news that we were going to have a hot summer. It was "unlikely" there would be a repeat of the wet summer of last year, and instead we were going to have a warmer drier summer. This news made me hopeful.

Well, I just looked outside the window. It is raining. It has been raining for the last few weeks.

Damn my optimism!

Competition Win

As you should know, The Hangover was a hilarious movie. One day, while browsing the internet, I found a The Hangover movie competition, and so decided to enter my name. I put it from my mind, thinking I had no chance of winning. See, I never win competitions.

But I did win!

I woke up one morning to find on my doorstep a wondrous Hangover Survival Kit. Contained within is an eye-cooler, a toothbrush and some toothpaste, some mints and refreshing wipes. Oh, and a tiny bottle of tabasco sauce.

Awesome!
