Can't let the gf see this page she's started talking about babies .

 

Guy on SSN just said "expresso". Sack him immediately.

In what context..?

Ah, I see. Mitchell & Webb context. I find it mildly reassuring that, although David Mitchell would have co-written that sketch to be funny, he would also be annoyed if he caught somebody making the sound Haitch instead of the correct Aitch.

A rare talent. He's managed to turn pedantry into something amusing.

 

Can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something along the lines of "here they do the best expresso". I'd only just tuned in.

For some peculiar reason that's quite funny.

 

Japan won 2-1 against Canada. Yoshida played well, in my opinion. A couple of his fellow defenders were a bit iffy though.

 

So had an interview today which didn't go brilliantly. They asked some ridiculously hard questions, like "How would you go about running a drinks event?" "What would you do on the night?" "Um...." (in my head: wtf is a drinks event?!)

On the bright side, Spotify no longer has a play 5 time play limit for songs, yay. Now to listen to Gotye and Of Monsters and Men repeatedly!

 

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

(he wasn't singing about the state of football, but he could have been!)

 

Vegard Forren getting a proper workout for Norway against Albania. He'll be fit or injured when he gets back from international duty.

 

Nothing scary about babies. I used to be terrified, but it was just a case of meeting one I had a connection with (my neice)

 

How could you be terrified of babies? They're adorable when they're not cranky.

 

They can be a right pain in the arse on a plane when on a long haul flight though, as I found out last summer.

 

Two goals in my prediction league then.

 

I'm terrified of babies. Every time I'm given one to hold I feel ridiculously uncomfortable like I'm gonna drop it or harm it in some other way. Plus they smell of piss and ****.

I'm sure you'll have a great time though Pieking!

 

Oh yeah, on planes they're so annoying.

 

I remember once taking off from Singapore to Auckland, NZ. The moment we levelled off to height this baby started with a wail that definitely didn't pull at the heart strings. It was going for about a minute, with no sign of abating in the slightest, and the mother was... well how shall I put it..? F***ing useless, to be honest. She barely made any attempt before appearing to simply give up. Almost immediately a male Singapore Airlines steward popped his head over the cot which the airline provides and within 5-10 seconds the baby had stopped completely, and the steward turned to the mum to give some advice, and she appeared to thank him. We didn't hear a peep from the infant for the remaining 12 hours of the flight. I think the whole plane owed that steward a debt which is still unpaid to this day.

 

Personally I have almost no affinity towards babies or any child under about 3, I find more of them ugly than I do cute, and to me they are just socially and mentally inept midgets. My family believe I am a sociopath as a result.

I'll probably become a big bundle of baby love once there's one in my close family, but at this point they're rarely anything other than a large (well, small) annoyance.

 

Forren's landed badly. Looking a bit awkward. Still think he looks out of condition.
