Shock Horror! I’m agreeing with the Church!

A statement was released by the Archbishop of York the other day stating that football games shouldn’t be played on Easter Sunday.

Now his reasons are the usual bunkum about it being a special day or worship (for less than 10% of the UK population if I remember the church attendance figures). Therefore the remaining 90% or so should do without.

[Actually, I just did a quick Google. Church attendance is now measured as “attending at least once per month” and the figures for 2007 were 15% – source]

However.

He’s right. Football shouldn’t be played on Easter Sunday. Or any Sunday. Or indeed on Fridays (and not because it’ll annoy the Jewish or Muslim populations, who incidentally seem to have better things to do than whinge about traffic problems near their synagogues and mosques).

It should be played at the traditional fixture time of Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Think how much easier it would make it to get to those away matches. No more bloody late-night kickoffs in the middle of the weeks meaning a nightmare of a journey between Newcastle and London or whatever.

That way, the only people who get pissed off at the people who own Sky and Setanta because they can’t leach as much money out of us.

Jap porn

French
Check for webcams

I’m no longer in Japan, having had to cut my visit short. But yesterday I was traipsing around a couple of areas of Tokyo. At one point I was in dire need of a poo, so I found a loo in one of the subway stations and squatted down. I had to squat as it was a squat toilet – generally the ones in the station are 1 “throne” to 2 “squat”.

Anyway, on finishing I spotted a plastic bag sat on the shelf next to the loo in the cubicle. Being curious (I was in a foreign country, after all) I peeked inside. And found an empty DVD package. With the cover reversed on it.

Interesting subject matter.

Now, I don’t know if the Japanese are as pun-tastic with their porn film titles as we are. Assuming they just go for the more literal naming schemes then this one could have been called “Webcan footage of Japanese schoolgirls trying to **** in squat toilets, missing and smearing it into the trough with paper towels“.

From the country that brought you the PS3, Tamagotchi and Subaru Imprezas. Niiiice.

Retraction

I removed the post I just put up as someone closely-ish involved informed me it would only be more upsetting to the person most closely associated with it.

Suffice to say I may be quiet for some time. I’ve done something I regret to a depth I cannot put into words and it’s cost me possibly the most important thing in my life.

Please don’t ask what. If I want to talk, I will email people or catch them on MSN. This matter is entirely my own fault. I made a stupid, stupid mistake and I have to live with the consequences. I hate myself and I feel sick. Otherwise I’m pretty much numb.

Sorry…

Another meme, but blame Blazing as it was the mad Gooner who tagged me. Here’s the meme-related dribble:

The rules, such as they are…

1) Put the link of the person who tagged you on your blog.
2) Write the rules.
3) Mention 6 things or habits of no real importance about you.
4) Tag 6 persons adding their links directly.
5) Alert the persons that you tagged them.

So. Erm. Hm. Tricky one, actually. Six random things, preferably – I suppose – ones that haven’t been discussed on here before. That really is damn tricky. Mainly as I’m a gobshite and pretty much everything about me is on here or can be inferred from stuff on here.

Alright. Random it is:

  1. I am currently sat on the floor of Darwin airport waiting for my 3am check-in to Cairns.
  2. My left leg is going dead.
  3. I am having the second-worst MSN conversation of my life
  4. I have just been dumped
  5. I’m a ******* idiot
  6. I would like to be shot. About now would be good.

I’ll explain on another blog post. Suffice to say I am now having a very bad ******* day, and it’s my own fault. Please do not ask why or offer sympathy. I’ll explain when I’m ready and I don’t deserve any.

How well do you know me?

I’m a bit bored of memes where you answer questions about yourself. So it’s your turn to answer questions about me. Drop them into the comments and see who gets the most right.

  1. What town was I born in?
  2. What is my favourite colour (warning – slight trick question)?
  3. What is my favourite food?
  4. What football team do I support?
  5. How many countries have I visited on this trip so far?
  6. Name three of my favourite authors.
  7. Name three of my favourite TV programs.
  8. What was my first girlfriend’s name?
  9. And the last (not current)?
  10. How tall am I (imperial, please!)?
  11. What is my degree in?
  12. What operating system do I use on my laptop?
  13. What was the last company car I “owned”?
  14. What university did I go to… and which one did I get my degree from (different places!)?
  15. What is the fastest speed I have driven on a public road (miles per hour, folks)?

That’ll do for now. Some of the answers are probably on this blog somewhere!
