Paul's inane ramblings

Well, England did dismally last night – losing 1-0 to Spain. On the bright side, it was good to see Barton get his debut, and Foster in goal DID make a couple of decent saves – maybe that’ll jog Robinson out of whatever coma he seems to be in at times for Spurs and England. England are supposed to be a world class team though – we should really be winning these home games – especially the ‘friendlies’. We got the first snow of the year (and winter) here, so I guess we’ll grind to a halt as nothing seems […]

Well, I don’t seem to be blogging too often…I should watch that – I’ll end up getting nagged about it 🙄 I’ve been very quiet on the football front recently – that’s because Spurs are having a kinda bad time right now, knocked out of the the semi final of the Carling cup by the woolwich nomads, then beaten (on our home ground) by Man Yoo last Sunday. Sigh – things can only get better. England play Spain tomorrow night in a friendly (is there actually such a thing as an international friendly game?), so let’s hope the Spurs contingent […]

I’m bored. Sitting here at work with very little to do 😐 I installed a smiley plugin which seems to work, and a weather plugin too (it SHOULD tell you what the weather is here…doesn’t seem to work though). I’m still playing with the themes to get a look I like 😆

Well, it seems it’s happened again…I’ve moved host AND changed the blog. I’m now using the FreeHostia hosting – like Xetaspace, they use Linux servers, offer full MySQL and PHP services – plus their servers are incredibly fast (this is the only downside I had with Xetaspace). This is the WordPress blog – seems very similar to the LifeType system I was using, but it has the advantage of being able to import/export data (guess who sat and physically moved all the entries to this system?). Anyway, let’s see how it goes…gonna go check out the plugins now…

I’ve now been in plaster for 30 days…my next appointment is February 20th at which point I should get the cast off and be allowed to put weight on my ankle (dunno how that will feel mind – it’s got to be a bit weak after what will be 7 weeks with no weight on it whatsoever). I’ll probably still need crutches for a few days. Sigh…I hate crutches

So the FA Cup weekend is done – no surprises really, West Ham have one last thing to cling onto – that being Premiership survival. Chelsea cruised to a relatively easy result, (The Mighty) Spurs crushed Southed…but the top result of the weekend? A**enal drawing against Bolton at the rubbish tip to create a return tie at Bolton – a place that IS a fortress…I’m gonna be a Bolton fan then…c’mon Davies – let’s see you beat the gooner scum. Apparently my ankle looks a little manky…I can’t help that – bit it WILL get better 3 weeks on Tuesday […]

Well, I’m still playing around with my server, so sneesh.co.uk is looking a little weird right now. I upgraded my connection – at the moment my line is in test mode (takes 10 days), so the speed will vary until the maximum speed is calculated. I’m getting download speeds of 6500 Kbps Had the staples taken out of my ankle on Tuesday – back in a cast for 4 weeks now, then I should be all better. Here’s a picture: Lovely huh? it itches like mad…February 20th: that’s when I’m gonna spend about 3 hours soaking in a hot bath…

Friday again…I’m bored ‘cos I’m stuck at home – having to keep my foot elevated. I bought a new domain name – sneesh.co.uk. Eventually I’ll run that from my home web server, but for now it’s hosted on FreeHostia – VERY good hosts, free, all the goodies you need (PHP, MySQL, Unix server, script installer…) Roll on Tuesday – I get the staples taken out of my ankle (15 minutes or so out of a cast – I can’t wait to scratch my leg)
