Eat My Goal !….Pagham won 5-0 yesterday (match report here ). Good to catch up with everyone at the football club on a Saturday as well - our first this year. Portsmouth came oh so close to beating Man United…then the match kicked off. But seriously, we were always onto a hiding from nothing at Old Trafford, and a couple of seasons ago would have lost more than 2-1. Improving all the time.

Ratings up

Just checked my Technorati ratings for links to here. Noticed they’d gone up quite a lot. Thanks to all those people over there on the right who’ve linked here. Go and visit them to see blogs with obvious good taste.

Film Fun

Been chatting over the interweb with someone (Hello “R in her Ka” !) about book-to-film translations, and we’ve come to the decision that most of them are crap. Most guilty was the film of “Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy”.
