Useless bunch!

I am awarding myself a cookie because no one else has earned one. Indeed, there has been a deal of eyelash fluttering and appeals to my better nature which have, frankly, appalled me! Cupcakes have been issued, but really, I am appalled.

Hmmm. I seem to be channelling the perpetrator of the quotation I used yesterday. Here is more of it.

Ah! A life crowded with incident, I see; though perhaps somewhat too exciting for a young girl. I am not myself in favour of premature experiences.

This was spoken by Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. (Oscar Wilde) Tcha! Useless.

Sunderland went out of the FA Cup today at the first hurdle. Useless bunch, losing to a lower division team. Only 17,538 attended and I can't say I blame the fans for not turning up to watch Notts County. The fact Bruce started with only 5 first team players was a clue where his priorities lie, and mine, this season. We want top 6 so we can be in Europe next season where the real money is. I see Stevenage, a just promoted to League 2 team are beating Newcastle 3 - 1 at the moment with 2 minutes to go. That means all the north east teams are out as Middlesbrough lost to Burton Albion, a non-league team. Hartlepool lost to Watford. Ha ha ha

Liverpool sacked their manager Roy Hodgson today. Disgraceful. He had the job for 6 months having been voted Manager of the Season last year when he guided Fulham to European success. Kenny Dalglish, who all the fans wanted, has taken over as interim manager. In a way I hope Liverpool continue to be pathetic and the fans will get what they deserve: nothing. They hounded out their last two managers and have got someone in charge now who they consider one of their own. Well let's see what he can do with the worst set of players Liverpool have had in many a long year.

That's all right. I issued cupckaes earlier which could have been disappointing.

They used to get in a communal bath at the end of the game you know. Good times.

I think I got the better deal.

Not that I don't love a good cookie.

Oh yes, I'm sure David lasts much longer than a cookie. Ahem.

Good to the very last nibble. **g**

Oscar Wilde? I would have had a better chance with Oscar the Grouch. JK.
I also read your sports posts, mostly because it's like trying to decipher a foreign language. Believe me, there's lots of sports talk around here, just not about that other football and cricket. Husband and son can, will and do talk baseball for hours and me? Quiet please, I'm watching curling.
Just keep posting those David pics. Better than cookies or cupcakes.

Oh I can hold my own in most sports - even curling! I love the brush action that goes on and the shouting from the skip. It's like bowls on ice.

Well, you do know, Curlers do it harder

OK. so I noticed that you changed your banner and it has taken me five minutes to wipe the drool off my keyboard and come up with a coherent sentence. Which I still don't think I can do. So...aklsdjaklsjfsopafi[0s[0. That is all.

Shhh I'm fiddling with it. Not quite right yet and it could all go pear shaped.

No, still didn't get it with a longer quote. Reading Wilde plays is usually seeing all his quotes stacked on top on each other, but no.

Find myself torn between DB and Cookie Monster!

*pets you and offers new header for droolage purposes*

When reading Wilde I am always struck by his extravagant use of semi colons. This made it even harder to learn because I kept getting distracted by the punctuation. That and the fact nobody actually talks like that.

Wilde's semi colon usage wiped from memory too. Disgraceful, I know.

Hm, Angel!Muppet could be the solution to my DB-Cookie Monster dilemma, the best of both worlds united in the felted prince of darkness ;)

I see where you are coming from there.
