MASSIVE controversy in Germany! Kiessling of Bayer Leverkusen heads the ball wide, hitting the side netting. Somehow there is a hole in the side of the net and the ball goes through. Goal given. Oh dear. The assistant who checked the net is more to blame for not finding the hole.

But have they not adopted Goal-Ref..? Hawk-Eye would have spotted it in a split-second. :)

And I've not seen one single minute. Have I missed anything..? Or was it absolute, modern, down-with-the-kids, utter tosh..?

Worse then you can think of tbh. American teenagers singing songs in a over the top cheesy way all set in a high school. It's basically the cheesiest programme created ever.

If I was brave enough to go to Youtube for a wee while, how long would I last, watching Glee clips, before I came back here screaming with US cringiness..? ;)

To be honest, I did go to Youtube and put the first Glee clip on that randomly fell under the mouse pointer, once I'd enquired. It was meant to be a poignant song about lost love and I don't believe I'm the most insensitive person around, so I got to the end of the second line. But then the actress did that thing with her voice, that I hate of all singing performances. She allowed her voice to break slightly, in apparent sorrow. In almost any other acting situation I might have put up with it, but this is supposed to be middle class America, where no average teenager has had a broken heart in 60 years [jokey sweeping statement but I like it]. So I simply stopped the cheesy clip and came back here before the screaming started.

Don't know if I mentioned it before but when I was down in the depths with this bloody cold [last knockings now] I fancied a good ol' submarine film. So I went to Youtube and typed in my enquiry. Some good stuff came up, and then Ice Station Zebra [click the link] appeared from the late 1960's. Good Youtube edition, but what was more, it had Overture music at the beginning, and an Intermission [which I entertained by getting a coffee without stopping the downstream] and then Exit Music [obviously from the cinema] once the closing credits had ended. And it was brilliant. I loved it. Made me feel 10 times better. Especially with Patrick MacGoohan in it, doing a superb rendition of a very gutsy, English spy. If only he'd have been chosen for James Bond, he'd would have easily been the best. He was inbetween series of The Prisoner at the time of the film.

I don't think I am suited for office work , but what else is there?

I work in an office 50% of the time and on beaches 50% of the time. In the summer it's more like 70% on beaches. Today I was in Yarmouth, IOW. Time in the office really drags in comparison.

Seen Das Boot? I haven't, but I've always felt like I should have. That's in a submarine.
