A League Of Their Own Show Two



The second episode of son Paul's show "A League Of Their Own" is on Sky1 and Sky1HD tonight at 9pm. The guest stars in this second episode are Gavin & Stacey actress (and James Corden's co-writer)Ruth Jones and journalist and ex Blair spin doctor Alastair Campbell. This is a great line up and the show promises plenty of laughs once again. Last week's first episode was an hour long introduction but today is only half an hour (just over twenty minutes without the adverts). Don't miss it (but if you do don't forget to check it out on Sky Anytime or on one of the re-runs).



Whilst on the subject of sport, I was disappointed to read Albert Riera's comments on Liverpool reported this morning. The gist of Albert's comments were that Liverpool are in a mess, nobody likes Rafa Benitez and Albert wants out. It doesn't take a genius to realise that Liverpool are in a mess.A 4-1 win against Portsmouth on Monday might have looked encouraging but had it not been for a terrible blunder by the Pompey keeper that completely unsettled them for ten minutes I think that things might have been different and anyone who saw that win as a new dawn might think again after tonight when we are in a league of our own against Lille in the Europa League. 1-0 down it will be a brave fan who bets on Liverpool to go through.I am going with my friend Dave Haworth again. Last time I upset him by referring to him on the blog as my old friend but, as you can see below, he does not look old at all. (memo to self, don't use Microsft paint again for red eye correction - Peter Raymond would have a fit.)





We went to see "I Love You Philip Morris" last night. I saw it described on a film blog as ""Brokeback Mountain" meets "Catch Me If You Can"" which is a pretty accurate description. It's an enjoyable film based on the true story of a gay conman. I struggled a bit with the bloke from the Orange Wednesday adverts taking a serious role but I loved Jim Carrey's character's excuse for becoming a conman "Being gay is just so expensive!" A few people at our screening walked out after one of the gay sex scenes which just goes to show that prejudice is alive and well and living in Southport. I mentioned the blogger's comparison of the film with Brokeback Mountain and Catch Me if you Can, I also saw a brilliant description of Avatar on a blog the other day "Dances With Smurfs" - priceless.



We've just run all the very final tests on the new CT and WM range circuits and everything is running perfectly so we should be in full production next week. This has to be the best water boiler on the market today and a big thank you goes out to our electronics designer John Walkinshaw of KLH Electroncics PLC without whom it would not have been possible.

As today's blog has been quite a sporty one, I'll close with the Swedish ladies' curling team. Thanks to The Guardian for picking this video out for me.
