After a run of thirteen consecutive weeks of spending Wednesday evenings at the local Vue cinema using the Orange two for one promotion, last night I missed "The Damned United" and went to Anfield and saw "The Bloody Chelsea". It was more like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as the mighty reds were well and truly humiliated. Oh well. There's always the second leg where a 3-0 win will put us through. Mind you as the winners get to play Barca maybe now was as good a time as any to say goodbye to the Champions League for another year.
Following six months of being hammered at a local restaurant, the trial sous vide digital water bath managed to go wrong yesterday just a couple of weeks before launch. I am pleased that this happened as it highlighted the need for a minor programming alteration to compensate for exceptional temperatures recorded in the restaurant kitchen. This was due to a change of the way the kitchen extractor fan was being used and it means that by carrying out such rigorous testing we have eliminated a possible problem prior to launch.
Lauren came up with the perfect name for today and I think it should be used henceforth. Yes, today is "Pretend Friday",the day preceding Good Friday, and this means that everyone can order bacon butties and go home early.
I see that Bob Quick the policeman is charge of anti-terrorism, has had to resign over carrying secret documents, which could clearly be read by the press photographers' zoom lenses, into Downing St. Now I am not a big fan of the police but I seem to remember a couple of ministers being photographed in identical fashion in the last six months and did they resign? Isn't it time that it was compulsory for Downing St visitors to exit cars with briefcases? No doubt, instead of this our wonderful government will try and ban photographers from the street. If the arrests made hastily (a few hours ahead of plan) as a result of the leak prove to be right and a major terrorist plot is prevented, won't this show that Quick's people had done a good job and, whilst his slip was a stupid error, he should be congratulated rather than vilified?
Watching the Apprentice after getting back from Anfield last night provided a bit of light relief. I was really disappointed that Empire didn't develop the sex related exercise product that they spent so long discussing. This would have been the highlight of the series so far and, if TV Burp hadn't finished would have given Harry Hill enough material for a whole show this Saturday. Ending up with a box with elasticated strings against Ignite who came up with something that amazingly looked like a real product, they stood no chance.
When I was a kid we'd sometimes slide down bannisters for a bit of fun. These lads have taken it to a new level.
