Amazing to see how upset people are that the FA Cup final is kicking off at 5:15 today. Not over keen myself but TBF the cup final was ruined for me when they cancelled "It's a Cup Final Knockout" with Hall, Ellis and Waring. Guess it just more proof of too much football. This summer we have to cram in Euro 2012 and the Olympics as well as the Premier League club's Asian tours before August. Consequently end of season stuff gets shoved forward. Hopefully next year will see the FA Cup final return to its proper place. Did a bit of gardening yesterday and tired myself out. Consequently I slept through most of the Blackpool v Brum game. Did see the goal though - piss poor. Crap this Championship football, what?  Probably do the weekly shop this afternoon as there is nothing to keep me indoors. Hope things turn out for Sheff Utd but I fear they are play-off bound. Still, that will maintain my interest for a few more weeks. Bloody long range forecast for this w/e was bollocks. Supposed to be dry - it ain't.  Looks like Monday will be a feck sight worse. Enjoy! |

G'day Beauts Grey in Sussex(E). A busy old day yesterday - hospital run a.m., vacuum pool p.m., meet up with friends and odd children in Bermondsey for supper. The good part is that we met in one of our favourite Italian restaurants, along the road from the flat, which I hadn't really noticed calls itself a restaurant/pizzeria - so I ate, for the first time ever, some pizza. Proper pizza apparently; really thin base with tomato, garlic, olives, pesto etc. wiped on it. It was OK - I can't see what the fuss is all about TBH. There are much nicer things on their menu.  Anyhoo... catching up with people we hadn't seen for a few years meant missing Blackpool V Brum; it seems I didn't miss much. I hope to see the 2nd leg and see an improvement - one of them has to beat WHam. Deliveries today ....along with Tesco, post, flowers etc. we have finally got the new Home Cinema system we wanted (or the successor to it) arriving. That should be fun. A late night followed by a 7.a.m. wake up probably means that I shall doze through the final ..... What with JT, Cashley V Suarez and King Kenny I'm going to struggle to find anyone to support. Tea needed...pronto. Have a good day y'all |

Friends 40th do, last night so slightly shabby this morning. Listening to Paul's Boutique, just about my favourite Beastie Boys long player. Really sad news about Adam Yauch.
Grey in SE London, and hooking up with friends at lunch then may watch the racist cup final, just to confirm one of them has to win right, there's no work around whereby because they are such cunty clubs they decided they can both go to hell....no, oh well!
My man MCA's got beard like a billy goat!

Morning. Decent morning out there, so I'll cut the grass.
Went to a new Japanese restaurant in Annemasse. Very grumpy greeting from the patronne and then a 40 minute wait before we ordered. It was very expensive but I have to say the food was good. Not sure if I'll give them another chance though.
FA Cup final timing is being laid firmly at the door of the FA by R5L. I think it is the consequence of the relentless progress of Sky and the Premier League and everyone buying lock, stock and barrel into that - including the BBC. The FA are being pushed out of football control altogether.

The FA Cup should always be at 3 pm on a Saturday that there are no other league games. I'm not sure the FA are fit to run footer.
It's been a shitty week, so I'm going to Brighton this morning for records and vegan treats, things I can't get in Southampton.

Oi Oi gimps
Sat in the barbers waiting to get what's left of my barnet sorted out. Eastleigh on a grey drizzly morning is a delight. I think I'll have to go into town trainer shopping to cheer myself up.
Football can do one for a while. Looking forward to the Euros but that's about it for me until our first game.
Music this morning has been the Beasties for obvious reasons.

Morning all.
Tea - toast (peanut butter) now coffee and more toast.
Was given a lay in this morning! Bliss...Misses took boys downstairs and I had tea, bisc and radio 5 live until 9:30.. Nice.
Was looking forward to a gentle day in the garden, grass cutting and such but its a bit damp, so long grass and weeds might have to stay a little longer..
I seem to remember having a nice time last Sat but can't remember what I did...anyone?

Morning all. Just watched last Saturday on iplayer for the first time. Amazing scenes. Feeling all emotional. Shame the long weekend is going to be ruined by the weather. This time last year we went to Salcombe for the weekend and it was approx 25 degrees all the way.
Today is mostly going to involve tidying the house in time for guests this evening, unpacking from honeymoon and opening all our wedding pressies. Not that we've got any space for them. Oh and I might stick the cup final on later.

Morning all
Just rewatched last Saturday again so I've had my Saints fix... Not sure what to do next sat!
Seems I'll be watching the cup final as I have my friends coming over (invited themselves) from 5oclock.
I think I'll avoid thisismyjam for a few days. Very sad that that chap died at 47, but I was never a big fan of the Beastie Boys bar a couple of songs - I saw them live at Reading festival once but got bored, as I say though a very sad lose at such a young age.

Hello chaps.
Had guests overnight so the fragile parts were feeling delicate this morning.
I really don't like the idea of the final being at the wrong time but as I want to go to town this afternoon I'll let them off this once.
