Friday 8th February 2008

My weekend started at midday, as I got into my car to go home. Instead of putting on a CD, I switched over to the radio, KISS100 were playing Good Life by Kanye West. I put on my sunglasses, reversed out of my spot and sped off out of the car park. Weekend here I come! However the radio reception started to deteriorate (I do work in the sticks) so I switched to the CD to find some ideal Friday tunes! As I pulled up on my street, I switched over to the radio again and thought I would just check out what stations were playing before packing away my things and heading into the house. I switched to Time106 (which is on memory slot 6) on my head unit. I recognised the voice, but needed the chorus to kick in. It was of course, Jordin Sparks with her current single, “Tattoo“. Rather strange and rare for me to be posting on a Friday lunchtime, rather than the usual early hours of Saturday morning. I took half day holiday today at quite short notice (only really decided on Monday) to take advantage of my friend’s offer. Free tickets to Africa! Africa! at the O2, cannot be turned down, not under any circumstances. I am heading off into London village in two hours time, just a few errands to run at home before getting ready and jumping on the park and ride bus. However my trip back into London tomorrow evening has been postponed for the time being at least. One of Harp’s best friend’s could not make it so, it has to be moved to another weekend. When I do not know but I have a feeling it will clash with something else in my social diary. Oh well, never mind. The big question everyone will be asking as they read this on Friday evening (after getting in from work) is will Terry be able to make it to Phatz Bar in Maidenhead later to continue in his new guise as Friday Night Terry? I need to discuss the England match, very briefly. I know I could have been there, with Chris watching David Beckham get his 100th cap (the fireworks, the lap of honour at full time). However as I explained to Williams, it was not a certainty that the LA Galaxy midfielder would feature. I was proved right by Capello. (Even though Chris did enter a lottery at work (on Tuesday) to win two tickets but the likely hood of him winning was low as it was for every Pepiso employee.) Suppose there are some benefits of working for an official sponsor of Wembley. Right the match, England started very nervous and I was surprised by the starting eleven. Owen on the bench (an unused sub we would later discover). When did Jemain Jenas suddenly become World Class? There were great flashes of greatness but as a team, we did not play at well. Rooney up on his own just did not work! Not sure with the thinking here from the Italian but we were only playing the mighty Swiss on home soil. England could have been a little more adventurous in their formation which would have been more entertaining to watch. Hopefully Fabio is under no illusion of the hard work that lies ahead. Finally in other news, my battle or rather war with Pav’s FTP server continues.
