mistletoe | not to speak too soon

Well, small pause is possible in work because it's Saturday and look what happens.

Manchester United 6 Newcastle United 0 It's sad; I actually feel sorry for the Mags though they have brought it on themselves. In my hiatus all sorts of shenanigans have been going on there. Harry Redknapp is our man. I couldn't see him moving from one end of the country to the other and I was right. Now the Shearer has offered his services if they ask him nicely. They'd be fools to do it but, frankly, the way they've conducted themselves it would not surprise me. Relegation next season if not sooner, the way they're going.

I wonder if we'll do as badly against Redknapp's Portsmouth?

We went to the Metrocentre today and did a bit of shopping and had lunch at Starbuck's then up home and listened to the match. Now the moaners are on the phone in while I'm watching Barcelona and contemplating what to have for tea. Something tasty anyway.
