Paul's inane ramblings

The man is a god – check out his song here. Spurs left it a bit late last night – not a great idea given the hectic schedule over the holiday period, but hey, we won. Away to Newcastle on Saturday – now we’ve got the ‘away win’ monkey off our back, we should do well there. COYS!

Sigh, 9.15 and I’m already bored… Turned to the home of the BOFH for some amusement, and found a couple of items to chuckle over: this one and this one. And so the day goes on… EDIT: Lunchtime, I’ve actually done something today (unlike yesterday when I did absolutely nothing). Three and a half hours until I can go home – have another link.

Woohoo! Firstly, Spurs won their first away game this season against Manchester City, then West Ham beat Manchester United. I’d agreed to help a friend move his TV into his new flat yesterday – I had no idea it was that big though – no word of a lie, it stands about 5 foot high and about 6 foot wide. We loaded it onto his pickup and I said maybe we should put it flat against the cab to make it easier to tie down. Andy looked at me and said “No, you’re sitting in the back to hold it […]

I hate this time of year – everyone is full of (most often) fake cheer. Bleah. Been a busy couple of weeks – I was down in Bristol last week for the annual testing of MK Airlines’ aircraft jacks (great canteen on Filton airfield), then up in Manchester for My Travel’s annual testing this week (again, great canteen on Manchester airport’s maintenance area, plus an awesome pub just minutes away from the hotel (great food, huge amounts and very reasonable prices). Spurs beat Dinamo Bucharest last night 3-1 to win their group and continue their 100% record in the UEFA […]

I like the idea of being marooned on an island. I think the appeal of the TV show ‘Lost’ is just that – an island unknown and unseen to our ‘civilised’ world. OK, I’d miss computers for sure, but I’d love the fact that nobody is watching or tracking me. St Neots has far too many CCTV cameras – big brother is here and he’s real. I remember talking with a friend when I was about 9 or so, I was hypothesising about how there would be cameras in just about everything..this was back in 1977 – does this make […]

Slightly more than 24 hours until the biggest football game – Arse**l v Spurs. A trip to the rubbish dump to humiliate the Woolwich Nomads (thanks TGND for that one) and there’ll be many a happy Yid. COYS! 

“I would like to thank many people. My doctors, nurses and hospital staff who are doing all they can for me, the British police who are pursuing my case with vigour and professionalism and are watching over me and my family. I would like to thank the British government for taking me under their care. I am honoured to be a British citizen. I would like to thank the British public for their messages of support and for the interest they have shown in my plight. I thank my wife Marina, who has stood by me. My love for her […]

Another win to maintain our unbeaten run in Europe this season and we stay top of the group. With only one game to play, Dinamo Bucharest need to beat us to stop us finishing top and getting the (allegedly) easier next round tie. Full match report here.
