Ssssh..! People don't want to talk about the playoffs anymore. It seems that if we get our hopes up, the Lads go and dash them by losing. Just make like you don't care either way, and we'll creep towards the top 6. BTW, could be a friendship tester for Matty and Jeff.

I haven't been following the progress of the academy or the reserves at all, this season, but talking of the young O-C, how did he get to being on the bench in recent matches..? Do we have a young starlet in the making..?

Thankfully, I'm not a grandad. U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For How appropriate is that..?

Serious question..? In TMS..?

Bit of 60's Phil Spector. The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. They certainly don't make songs anymore like the last five I've listened to.

Bit of 60's Motown The Four Tops - Bernadette; Reach Out, I'll Be There Martha Reeves & the Vandellas - Jimmy Mack Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes of the Broken Hearted Like being down The Dell.

What are you on tonight..?

Seeing as it is sunday night, and the 3-0 glow is just starting to dissipate, I thought I'd start the build up to the next game. Have a look at the opposition's website too, seeing as I have the link handy: http://www.hartlepoolunited.co.uk/page/NewsHome/ A win please Lads. It needn't be convincing, and you needn't play out of your skins either. Just win. No more Swindons, thank you.

34 and I'm 51. Nice. Could have done better if I'd immediately realised that '0' was low, rather than high.

There was a TV series on a few weeks back, which examined how old certain people's bodies and brains actually were. They had a 20 odd year old bloke, who was a binge drinker. He would have a can of beer for breakfast, and a few in the evening, but at the weekend he'd really go for it. His brain age was 85 or similar. He was encouraged to give up alcohol. Well, actually, he had been so scared by the findings, it was easy to drop the intake to bugger all. Within a few months his brain was registering the age of a mid 20's bloke. But he had to stay of the beer.

Le Tiss scored 30 in all comps, in one season. Can't remember which.

Nope, nothing like that, Scout.

Star Trek - Insurrection Yeah, back on the train. Saw this one, once before, and thought it complete garbish. After seeing it again, I don't quite know why I thought that, first time. It's not brilliant, in any way. Patrick Stewart is at his annoyingly stagey worst. For example, at one point, Picard [stewart] enters his quarters, and asks the computer to play some music. The computer responds by playing some of his usual classical genre. Picard stops the music and asks for a Mumba, which he then proceeds to move to, before looking into a mirror to check the line of his face. We are to infer that he looks and feels younger. It's an OK scene, but it is so clunkily done by Stewart, as to be embarassing. As usual, the story, special effects, etc... are all fine. The Enterprise is involved in upholding the morals of the Federation, and try to stop the removal of a people [baku] from their chosen planet [not their native one] because the very rocks radiate life giving properties. This is very important to the Federation, and to another race of people [sona]. But I won't tell you any more, as you might actually have not seen it before, and remain curious. To be honest, this one is more suited to Star Trek's occasional double TV episode format. As a film, it doesn't have enough wowee factor. Certainly not after First Contact, the previous film. And F. Murray Abraham is finally reduced to Chief Villain in a TV series film, Several years after being an Oscar winner in Amadeus. Another board treader, but one who is less stagey than Stewart. Just shows you the power of Star Trek fame.
