Weakest Link YTD : +£27

That's been quiet because I've been flirting between 20 and 25 up for ages now, before I jackpot the machine for eight quid earlier. And with a pub crawl tonight, that's more than welcome.

Got to love Harry Redknapp's man management skills. According to today's Times, "[Redknapp] spent several minutes telling one of his overseas players [things] before realising he spoke no English." Jesus christ. Just shout the guy's name and if he says "que?" you might get the picture.

Something I was meaning to mention a long time ago - while handing in some criminal non-assessed, I noticed a sign on the door of the faculty board room - "Ed Bram will add 50p to the cost of each book". Now I guess that was from the start of term book sale. Now there's me thinking that they were doing that kind of thing for the good of the students. Nope, quick cash. I can't believe that they'd try to pass it off as hiring expenses either. If we tried to add rake at poker we'd be breaking the law.

Now with the closure of PC Cluster 1 in the library for no good reason, and the fact that nowhere apart from Mappin Street is open on a Sunday barring the library (and only because it's extended hours), computer space is a bit cramped. Hence I couldn't believe the cheek of two Rio Ferdinand lookalikes flanking my computer, downing tools at about 4 but leaving their bags and stuff and leaving themselves logged in, and coming back after the football! And what was worse that nobody waiting could be arsed to kick them off, even after I'd told them they'd been gone for over two hours! And then to have the cheek to come back and go on MSN and play solitaire... fuckwits. I hope they get face cancer.

Hattrick is going great. Just sold off the last of my crappy old trainees for a nice sum, and unless Blandford get a surprise win against a surely MOTSing steady's away (who need the win to secure the title, as they're a point ahead of mutinyclan who have got a brand new team to play), I can sneak third with what should be a guaranteed win. Nice. Solid coach will be in play when the £150K for the sale of John Felton clears. Getting a point away to Blandford with a murderous TS on a PIC while losing midfield by three levels is sweet.
