    A pox on the gambling revolution

    Posted on by snee

    Friday afternoon at work, 3 of us decided (I talked the others into it) to have a bet on the football: Hull to beat Arsenal Spurs to beat Liverpool Burnley to beat Chelsea We all put in £2 each, and with the treble, stood to get £1500 back if all results came in…sadly, none of them did. We laughed and put it down to experience – £2 each was no big deal, we could afford to take the loss. A key point here though, was I had to go into the bookies to place the bet – I refuse to […]

    Mid week football

    Posted on by snee

    Tonight Spurs host Fulham in the FA Cup quarter final replay…the wineer plays Portsmouth in the semi final (with the added bonus of a home draw) – woop, woop! Also tonight, Aston Villa play Sunderland and Man City play Everton – to give us a bit of breathing space in 4th place I’d like to see Sunderland and Everton get all the points… Oh, and at some point yesterday I broke 68000 hits 🙂 Yesterday I got fed up with the ancient mobile I was loaned while my N97 was in for repair so I bought a backup phone – […]

    The new England away shirt?

    Posted on by snee

    Sorry – I may be England through and through, but at the end of the day it always comes down to: ‘Better dead than red’ When we win the World Cup again – we’ll be wearing white… And with the John Terry thing – it makes no difference whether he holds the title ‘Captain’, he IS the one who’ll call the shots…in my opinion, better someone who shags women (and I would too…), rather than some twat who fails to turn up for a drug test…Ferdinand better for England – work THAT fucker out…

    Why do I get nagged for not blogging when Bu'er hasn't blogged in MONTHS?

    Posted on by snee

    It’s not fair I tell you… And so, a blog 🙂 shall I mention football? hmm…we gave away a 0-2 lead to end up drawing against Everton (and Defoe missed an extra time penalty that would have given us the win) so maybe not eh? Work? shall I blog about work? much as I love my job – I don’t think so… So, what I’ll ramble on with is my phone – the Nokia N97 🙂 It’s a lovely phone, and now I’ve managed to de-brand it (getting rid of the Vodafone crappy splash screen and useless link on the […]

    I hate housework…

    Posted on by snee

    I really should look into getting a cleaner in once a week or summat. You (well, I) have to be in the mood to do anything cleaning-like, and that doesn’t happen too often…as I type this, I can see I unloaded half the dishwasher then gave up, did go shopping though, but got so bored in Tesco I ditched the trolley and left… And so, Chelsea v Spurs later at 4 – and if I watch it in the pub, I’ll just end up drunk, and tomorrow is gonna be pretty hectic I think, so I’ll stay home and stream […]

    (Not) A lazy Saturday…

    Posted on by snee

    Have I been busy today or what? Housework, housework, housework, beer, watch some TV, housework – that’s me today 🙂 The house actually looks (quite) tidy for once…still got to sweep and mop the kitchen floor AND clear up my room, but on the whole I’m happy with my efforts today. Got beer in the fridge ready for the Spurs v Man. Utd. game later – job’s a good ‘un! Can’t stop eating today though – this is usually a sign that my sister is pregnant, but I think I’m just being a glutton to be honest. Oh, and I […]

    We did it again!

    Posted on by snee

    Kicked the German’s arses in their own backyard that is…not quite the 1-5 as before, but still a good result – as I mentioned, there’s no such thing as a friendly game against Germany 🙂 My dad would have loved to see the game last night – as a child growing up in France during the war, his experiences of Germans was that of bullies, I guess some of that’s rubbed off on me although I try to treat people as individuals and try not to stereotype them… But hey – WE BEAT THEM! 😀 Yesterday I mentioned that Tuesday […]
