3-6
Bloody rubbish!!!
Liverpool lost 3-6 at home to Arsenal in the Carling Cup Quarter Final last night. What an absolutely rubbish, rubbish result! Argh!!! And that was against Arsenal kids. With perhaps 2-3 regular starters. Liverpool fielded a very strong with only a few youngsters.
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.
Rafa Benitez: "The Spaniard added: "The problem was conceding four goals in the first half."
And that's after losing 1-3 to them at the weekend in the FA Cup! 4-9 on aggregate! Not bad if you're an Arsenal supporter.
And before you ask (Ben), this was real life, not Football Manager. I only wish it was.
Oh well, I guess we can concentrate on winning the league now...

BBQ
I've just got back from lunch with April and now I smell as if i'm been manning a barbeque for the past 2 hours.
I tried to go to my favorite thai restaurant in the city Satu (Tim, i've been there with you) but it was shut, so the closest decent place was Haz. I've been there before and it certainly does good food but you do stink afterwards.
It's a Morocan style chain of restaurants throughout the city that do authentic grilled lamb, kabab's and other such nonsense. Very good and quite reasonable too.
I still stink back at the office though!
P.S.
We'll be having a BBQ round the flat once the summer starts, invites and confirmed dates to follow.

My weekend
I've just had a really good weekend.
Friday
I went out for a meal (burger) then a quick drink in a cool rock music bar in Clapham Junction called Project Orange.
Saturday
I played rugby and won 114 - 0! I scored one try but my brother scored 7!!! And he didn't even get touched once. I feel terrible however. Aching everywhere. Then went back to mine to watch a DVD with Becky and April. The breakup. It doesn't deserve a Stuart Clark Movie Review. It wasn't terrible but I think it adds to my evidence file that 99% of all movies made for women are rubbish.
Sunday
I went to the Weatherspoon's in Putney for breakfast. Still can't finish that farmhouse. Maybe that should be my new years resolution...
We then watched bits of Serenity back at mine whilst half asleep and then cooked a roast chicken. It was delicious. Butternut pumpkin (or squash if you're English) is a new ingredient to my diet.
I then watched Crank, which was again rubbish.

The April has landed
April finally arrived back in London at 9 this morning after a 33 hour mammoth trip from Perth via Dubai and Brunei. That was after a 3 hour delay to begin with, luckily it doesn't sound as if it caused too much of a problem for her connecting flights.
I imagine it'll be a bit of a shock for her.

Apparently it was just shy of 40 degrees just after Christmas.

New Job update
Just a quick message about the new job at Gallagher's. It's a bit odd not being at Lloyd's any more but I was there for almost four and a half years so it's hardly surprising.
Surprise, surprise, everything is going well. Tuesday, my first day was hard work. I didn't get my computer up and running till 12:30, then we went out for lunch. 3 bottles of wine later we staggered back to the office at 3. Ha, ha!
At the moment i'm mostly looking at a load of their old databases and seeing if I can improve them. They seem okay for what they do so apart from a few tweeks they'll be fine. I need to set up a number of meetings to look in more detail at a few of the datasets available then I can really get on with what i'm getting paid for.
