Penalty shootout!

Well, sort of - there wasn’t much actual dribbling involved, thank God!

Well, I thought it was funny.

I’m going to invest in a very expensive computer chair this year. I’ve already got a very expensive computer chair, but having to keep my legs rigid to stop it from collapsing forwards is just stupid.

On the plus side, my current chair does make the sound of a dolphin ‘clicking’ when I tilt it back.

This and That Life

Oooh, it was excellent, wasn’t it?! I was so excited when I first heard rumours about it, even more so when it was confirmed by the Beeb.

I was disappointed not to see it scheduled for over Christmas - because everywhere said it was going to be shown later in the year (of 2006) and it still hadn’t happened by November. Then BBC TWO started repeating the first two series to build up to the one-off special - presumably to be shown at Christmas. Waiting another week wasn’t too bad, but it’s not the point.

Anyway, the episode was fantastic and I really hope they make a regular thing of doing a special every ten years. They made a joke about not doing so in the proceeding documentary, but it’s one of few programmes that I can see working in such a way - bringing it back periodically for quick insights into their lives. Very apt I thought - just look at its title for a start.
