The Colour of Money is almost here. We're so excited

As son Paul's creation "The Colour of Money" draws closer to reaching our screens we are now able to see small snippets on ITV's promotional website Click Here And Follow The Link Six Shows Not To Miss . Having shared in Paul's agonies whilst the show was in development it is great to see the end product getting such a high profile. Let's hope it's a success. As Instanta staff who tested it will testify,  it's great fun to play so let's all hope it's great fun to watch. 

Talking about great fun to watch, regular visitors to the Instanta blog will know that I am a huge X Factor fan. In case you missed  the disco week, here is favourite Diana performing. Sub titles added for the hard of hearing.

Still on holiday but I met up with some of the lads last night when we had our regular Tuesday night five a side. It was a good game with a magnificent display of goalkeeping from Max giving my side an unexpected win by 10-8. I was a bit miffed when the council sent us a reminder for the fees for hiring the gym when last time they bought a boiler they were about six weeks late paying.

Staying with football a friend cried off the Marseille Champions League match tonight so the long suffering Marion is joining me on the Kop. Who says I don't know how to show a girl a good holiday time?

And finally for today as another bit of holiday fun (going through boxes in the attic) awaits, here is a short film that captures exactly what football is all about and shows what life in Peter Brindle and Tony Lowe's households was probably like one night a couple of weeks back.
