So, the Portuguese coach says he definitely isn’t going to be the next England coach; apparantly he doesn’t like being hounded by the press. Go figure. But it seems to me that the England football coach should be an Englishman, not some bloody foreigner. Can you imagine the French or German teams hiring someone from another country? Now, it may be that we don’t have any decent coaches (unlikely) but even if true, the England coach should be like the England players: English.

Here’s a few things that wind me up even though I know there’s no good reason for it.

• people using ‘toilet seat protectors’
• people who use chopsticks at chinese fast food places
• people who order ‘to go’ and then eat in

Hmm… thought I had a lot more but now I can’t think of them.

Got an email today from our admin with the title Plasma TVs in the Conference Room. My first thought was that they were giving away plasma tv’s in the conference room but when I opened the email it was just a reminder not to leave them switched on. I felt pretty stupid for thinking that anyone would be giving away such a thing.

I’m sure I’m way behind discovering this site but Google Fight lets you pit one search term against another in a battle to the death! Well, perhaps not death but lets you make pointless comparisons at least. For example….

• east coast rap vs west coast rap
• football vs baseball
• mac donalds vs burger king
• clothed vs naked

It struck me this evening that almost every Hot Dog on a Stick vendor I’ve ever seen has babes working behind the counter. I don’t think that its neccessarily that employ above-average looking girls, I think its the uniforms that at once glance are pretty gaudy and dorky, but on closer inspection seem to do a lot for the wearer. Or maybe its just the idea of meat on a stick.

Thanks to the good folk at Boing Boing for drawing my attention to this. Get your hands on all of the plagues! Including, but not limited to:

• A Giant Lice for lice.
• An icky boil on a piece of flesh!
• A spooky eyed drop of blood
• Black Locust for locusts

The frog, lice, cow and locust wriggle and roll their eyes, quiver, buzz and move when you pull their string.

One of the perks of the new job is that I can receive a free CD of my choice every month; any title from the Sony catalogue is up for grabs. I got my first form today and realised that choosing a CD is quite tough – how do I know which CD to get? The full catalogue is on the intranet in a PDF – its over 400 pages of tiny print long! By accident I stumbled upon the fact that Matisyahu is on Sony BMG so this month’s order is for his latest album, Youth.

Future months are going to be tough and so, dear reader, look out for requests for suggestions; the more interesting the better. Just remember it has to be on a Sony label….

On Wednesday this week, at two minutes and theee seconds after 1am, the time and date will be
