The worst thing about the fuel crisis

Has anyone noticed when driving along that everyone is doing 5-10mph below the speed limit? What's that about? Just because fuel is a little more expensive, I'm positive that the benefits of dropping your speed down so much and causing yourself to be late everywhere will have no bearings on how much you spend. Maybe you'll be able to buy an extra Mars bar a month or something. It's fricking annoying guys! Sort it out!

Come on... erm... Spain?

I'm sure a post about Euro 2008 isn't the most original way to kick start a rusty blog, but I'm going to plod on anyway. I'm really getting into it right now as I always am with these big tournaments, but there's one thing that is grinding me down. Can people please stop with "It's criminal that England aren't there. It's bollocks. We're the best team". It's a shame for us (and us only) that none of the home nations are represented, but the fact is we never got the points on the board to warrant booking a place in the finals, places that have been taken up by teams who got there by merit. My only defence for such comments is that there are two host nations, one of which would never ever have qualified, and so one place was taken away from potential qualifiers.

For some reason we all think it's our given right to win these tournaments. When we get to the quarter finals and play abysmal football for an hour then concede a goal, it's always the ref who's done us over, or the pitch, or the ball, or our injuries. It's often overlooked that if we played flowing football and scored more we'd win the games and there wouldn't be an issue.

I think I'm actually going to enjoy this one a bit more than usual as I know from the outset that England can't win it, rather than getting up false hope that they might do it only for the dream to be shattered further down the line. I can fully enjoy the three weeks of sport and soak up the varied standards of football that will be on display, and more importantly journey to victory in the McDonalds's Fantasy Football. My team name, quite originally, is F.C. Hamburglars (I thought that was quite good) and I reckon this is my best and safest route towards getting a HDTV. Just hope Ronaldo's tournament picks up pace soon!

Pro Evo lag video

It's just hilarious.

Radiohead


Well, I've just spent £140 on Radiohead in 2 days - that's the Discbox and two gig tickets. That's about half a week's wages, pre-tax. Which makes me sad. I mean, it's a bloody massive amount. Teenagers would never be able to afford this. Who are they aiming their music at? £50 for a gig ticket is ludicrous. I know they effectively gave their album away for free, but to say they'll be doing the gigs on quite a large scale means that they're just raking it in. It's a day at a festival for Christ's sake! Here's hoping the full line up is a good one.

By the way, I just noticed the tickets are now on sale on ebay for a lot more than face value. Thieving fuckwits.
