Various stuff

Killing time at the moment as the advertised pool tournament in the union is off (due to exams, funnily enough - precisely why I went down as there'd be no competition), may nip down to Earnshaw in a bit. At least they've put the Coke back down to 1.25/pint now. Must comment on the Chelsea-Birmingham game - Steve Bruce must be absolutely disgusted with Upson for his challenge on Drogba which got him booked. Instead of the clearly intended elbow to the face, it just seemed to be a bit of a backhand to the throat. Glad to see the cheats didn't prosper, despite having an extra man when Huth limped off. And to be fair, if you let Robert Huth score against you, you deserve to lose.

Just in case the York wasn't clearly marketing itself as a student pub (as all Yellow card pubs do), there's a sign outside indicating that from 5.35 on weekdays they're showing Neighbours, the Simpsons and Hollyoaks on the big screen. Is that the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped there? All they need to do is say they'll show 24 and I'll be there...

Finished reading John Madden's "Hey, Wait a Minute (I wrote a book!)" today. Pretty good read, particularly if you're a Raider fan. The Metroid DVD arrived a bit ago, as did the Solar Jetman cart (just need the NES now) and everything else I've ordered off Ebay. Had a nice result on Stars earlier (actually got the bastard to connect for the first time in a couple of days) when I got let in free on the BB with 10-6 and flopped a boat, and when someone spiked a 5 on the river to make a smaller house I couldn't call fast enough. Getting back towards parity now.

Got a week off to do nothing now. Stars it is then :-)
