You're on. Just give me three years to organise it.

That wouldn't stop you giving it a bloody good go though...

There's only 8 of us in our office, but we got hit by it last January big time. We usually have 6 in on fully staffed days, for the best part of three weeks we were lucky to have three. 'Twas a bleedin' nightmare.

Finishing at some point mid-afternoon on Christmas Eve, and other than having to work on Mon 29th, I'm off until January 5th. Reee-sult, as I usually have to work at least 3/4 days over the festive period.

As I said yesterday, thank god Maggie said something to that bloke before I got myself into a lot of trouble. That guy next to me was a pillock of the very highest order.

Hmm, interesting. Could be tempted.

Turkey. Yay. Cooking for the parents and my brother. Boo.

Tonight: Finally get the Christmas stuff out and up. Saturday: Burnley (via Didcot Parkway), get back pdq (via Didcot Parkway) for Delays at The Joiners. Sunday: No particular plans, will probably involve sorting Xmas presents, writing cards, getting house ready for Xmas, shopping, etc, all of which will be done whilst suffering with a severe hangover I would imagine.

We were selling today for 1.06, or 1.08 for transactions over £500. Shocking.

Par-tay at home. Rah.

'Twas indeed a good pub. Deffo one for future use, rather than the chavtastic Wetherspoons.

I am having a long weekend, so: Tonight: Work Christmas meal at The Cowherds Saturday: Work 10:00 -2:00, possibly a couple of drinks then to the footy, possibly a couple of drinks then home, possibly straight home (depends on the offers), out on the lash at Talking Heads in the evening for the Dlugokecki Xmas Xtravaganza. Sunday: Recover from previous night, nothing else planned Monday: Work 9:00 - 3:40, drive to Hammersmith, dump car, get over to Thornton Heath, drink, footy, drink, hotel. Tuesday: Recover from previous night, shopping at Westfield, vist work colleagues in London, drive home. Should be a good one, as long as I'm not feeling the effects of this bloody cold too much.

Bloody hell, just seen the story on SSN, and now this - bit of a shock to say the least.

I will beat you all in a tournament. Bring it on.

Will this be occurring on Saturday? I may pop in for a pre-non-match drink. The Woolston Ferry will be sung on Monday night. Fact.

Highest mine has ever been is around 6,600. I am about to go and improve on my 6,250.

Oh, and my ranking is about 6,200. I rock.

Mario Kart is still, IMO, the best game on the Wii. No other game that I've bought has yet provided as much entertainment as Mario Kart. In fact, I might just go and play it now. Toodle pip.

I've got people enquiring my way for tickets too, as per usual, however I have no way of getting any, not being a season ticket holder or member anymore. Weird.

Price is spot on IMO. People need to remember a couple of things - this is Manchester United we are playing, not some mid-table Championship team, and they will have had some input on the price too. Whoever it was commenting on Birmingham doing free tickets for the Wolves match - do you really think they'd have done that if they'd drawn Man Utd!? Highly unlikely. Not quite sure about this 2 for season ticket holders thing though. It is a bit unfair on members who've been to most/all games and could potentially get screwed over by this. Season ticket holders should get priority for their own seats, quite rightly so, but I don't see why they should get priority on extra tickets too, even more so with Man Utd being the opposition. Let the members with x number of games on their record have first dibs, THEN the season ticket holders can get extras. That's how it always used to be, and it's the fairest way in my book.

Hmm. Cracking timing with the date yet again. Buggers.

Hang about, if that's the case, why isn't Heikki second in the WDC then?

Lewis will win. Oh yes.

Damn. I could've done with that 50p to put towards my pre-match drinking sesh.

Nice. All day booze up, and I can drink whilst watching the game. Result.
