    Unbelievable…

    Posted on by snee

    1-0 down in the 2nd minute, penalty and the goalkeeper off 2-0, 3-0 minutes later and going into the break 4-0 down…all seemed lost. The second half though…totally beautiful Spurs – Bale scoring 3 almost identical superb goals – the first a 68 yard accelerating run and shot across the goalkeeper. Losing 4-3 on the night – but showing the world what class we have… The highlights (or lowlights for Spurs in the first half) it’s 2.28 in for those who want to skip the 4 Inter goals 😉 : httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncbxy7bmdz4

    My baby…(that’d be the car then)

    So, I’ve got a 10 year old Vauxhall Astra (1.8 litre, 16 valve if anyone’s interested), and it’s lovely to drive 🙂 Recently though, it developed a fault – giving it any gas would make the engine almost stall – not good 🙁 Took it to the garage of a friend of my brother’s (hi Parrot!) and he hooked it to the diagnostic computer – told him it was the O2 sensor, so my brother went and got a sensor and fitted it for me (I was due to travel to Stansted the next day so I needed the car).

    Lovely fruit – all crunchy and juicy 🙂 oh wait…I mean the computer manufacturers… Now I really like Apple computers – ever since I first used a Mac Plus, I was impressed with how east to use they are, and how difficult they are to crash. Of course, now and then you’d get the ‘sad Mac’:

    Posted on by snee

    I got an email recently (remember Friends Reunited?) regarding my school’s reunion – it’s been open for 50 years so they want anyone attending during that time to go. I logged in and had a nosey poke about and found my first year photograph (the family copy seems to have disappeared…): Anyway, let’s see how many I can remember – left (as you look) to right: Front row: Simon Stratford (RIP), me, dunno, Jason Coupe, Ricky Stephenson, Andrew summat, Anthony DeMartino (?), Jason Morten, Second row: Mark Cross, Sean Verlander, Mike Austin, Nick Robinson, Steven McArthur, George Hannah Third row: […]

    A really quick (10 minutes ’til I go home) lazy Friday post…

    Courtesy of the annals of B3ta: There’s a girl you like. Big time. You adore her. She’s perfect. And she’s single. You flirt a little, but it goes nowhere. She’s wary of being hurt or messed around. My friend Tom was that guy. And after nearly a year of groundwork and being turned down times beyond number, the girl, the perfect girl, finally agrees to go out on a date. Tom is beside himself. ‘I’ll take her to the finest restaurant in town. The new Thai one – it’ll be perfect. For weeks, he rants and raves, gushes and giggles. […]
