Being the huge football fan I am, it will come as no surprise (treat this sceptically) to my immediate friends, that I ended up going to watch the Baggies thrash Burnley today.

It was a good match, and had all the bits you need for a good match, including lots of goals for the side you are meant to be supporting, some amateur dramatics and a sending off. What more could you want? Well it could have been a bit warmer, but with a seat directly (and I do mean directly) behind the goal and a good atmosphere, it made a nice and sporty change to my usual (some might say geeky) Saturday afternoons.

I went with Taylor and his mate Rich. It was sort of a catch up session, and we ended up in the pub afterwards, albeit just to warm up (I opted not to have ice in my Coke). I'm still trying to get over this bloody flu, but it is getting better.

In other news, I'm trying to get the parents to use eBay. There is plenty of rubbish they could afford to shed, especially in the run up to Christmas when there are plenty of other people more than willing to pay good money for all the crap you want to get rid of. If I can explain to them how the digital camera works and how to put items up for sale, we should be ready to purge bits of the house sometime in December. 2007. At least there is some enthusiasm now though.

Also, my school friend Ian appears to have had a pretty good time while visiting Radio 1 this week. Who would have guessed that a Stourbridge born man would be fraternising with the likes of Jo Whiley and Vernon Kay in the corridors of broadcasting house? Well I know he was really there for an soundtest/interview, and so I wish him luck with getting the post. Do it for The 'Bridge.
