mistletoeThis has been a tiring week. Any way, Year 10 are off on two weeks work experience so no register to mark for 2 weeks. A small thing but it adds 10 minutes to dinner 'hour' racking it up to a whole 45 minutes!
I got my euros on Wednesday and I'm beginning to feel a tad excited. Hee hee.

Well Bones was back at long last. It wasn't worth the wait so I'm not going to comment other than to say Booth is a damn fine shot.

In other news:
As we (me and Joe) anticipated, Newcastle lost to AZ Alkmaar 2 - 0, and so are out of the UEFA Cup. Now this is the thing about Magpie fans. When they won the first leg 4 - 2 you couldn't shut them up. Today? Not. A. Word. Sunderland fans on the other hand will talk about any game they play, win, lose or draw.
Incidentally, some idiot has suggested that draws should have an outcome of somebody winning courtesy of the dreaded penalty shoot out. No. Just no. The joy of the draw is that sometimes it's a well earned point in a hard fought game. It can be much more exciting than some team scoring early and then putting 10 men behind the ball and never budging from their own half, which is what I think would happen in a game where they could lose even more points - up to four. They tried it in America where the concept of parity seems not to exist; in Japan when Wenger was there and it DIDN'T WORK. Crowds hated it. If they want to fiddle, they might as well do the away goals count double like European games. So pffft.
Snow is forecast this weekend and it's certainly cold enough - and windy.
England are in the process of losing to New Zealand at cricket in the World Cup. Ireland got a tie against Zimbabwe. What a result. They should have had a penalty shoot out.
