Think Tank was Albarn's baby and is by far their best album.

Friday -- Go for a run, might hire a film, get a takeaway or something. A definite quiet one and NOT ANYTHING like last Friday's random 15+ pint night. I am still recovering. Saturday -- Christmas shopping and then Bristol for lash-up. Sunday -- Go to work and cry.

I was Joseph in a nativty play and took the role of Remus.

You've changed your tune. You took one listen to it and hated it. I have a good memory.

She's fit.

No Andy. Despite Delap being my favourite player for sharing the same name as me and for being Irish, he was a fantastic player under WGS. It was WGS who utilised his talents in the middle of the park. He was ruined under Wigley and Redknapp. Rory provided perfect stability in the midfield with Oakley and occasionally Prutton and was a pivotal part in our cup final run. Hope you're well though mate

Hmmm, I kinda think it's a shame Coxon's back. Think Tank was majestic without him.

Patrice Tano.

Indie music: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/01/30/40-indie-music/ Brilliant. It's like reading about me. I never thought I could hate my culture so much.

This is the funniest website I have ever read: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/ It's so, so true. The Michel Gondry one is spot on as I own both his and Spike Jonze's DVDs.

Tonight: Running and film watching. Saturday: Taunton, shopping, lash, gig. Sunday: Work. Prediction: 6/10

Elf and It's a Wonderful Life are my favourites. Watching the latter on Xmas eve really felt like Xmas.

"Despite having been a Tesco employee for almost 8 years, Alan still has no idea what's actually up in the mezzanine."

lol of the week.

It's spelled "fackup", you imbecile.

The last FA Cup third round tie we had on terrestrial TV was when we trounced Spurs 4-0 in what was the most ultimate display of total football I have ever seen.

Women are slags.

I think this game is to blame for the scenes after the Reading game last weekend.

Love Lawro. Funniest man on the planet. Can't stand Kamara after his bias towards whoever we play on Sky. Hearing him say "Big Stevie Howard" always makes my blood boil. Collymore last night was sh*t too. He would read out crappy little facts he had written on a sheet in front of him to make him sound like a statto. I don't mind Jim Beglin and I think Danny Murphy has got a career in sofa punditry.

Albums I've been rinsing recently: Q-Tip -- Renaissance (thank God he's back) Eagles of Death Metal -- Heart On Massive Attack -- Mezzanine The Beta Band -- The Three EPs Glasvegas -- Glasvegas (I haven't stopped playing it for months) Wilco -- Summerteeth (perfect album)

The album is terrible. The Killers must be one of the biggest failures and disappointments of all time. Back in 2003, this band really excited me. Early demos of The Ballad of Michael Valentine, Under the Gun, Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me were top drawer and the first five songs on Hot Fuss are very good. Since then, they have declined into a parody. Day & Age is one of the worst albums I have heard in a long time. I thought they couldn't become any more of a joke after the release of their last album but they have truly surpassed themselves. Shocking.
