Inglorious Ingerland
Posted Nov 18, 1999
Let's accentuate the positive aspects of last night's England performance, shall we?
1) They qualified for Euro 2000. OK, so it was by the skin of their teeth and via the back door - but they qualified. 
2) Kevin Keegan's admirably frank post-match interviews made it clear that he knows they're nowhere near good enough at present, and that major changes will be made to the team before next summer.
3) Errr... 
4) That's it.

Old dog in "new trick" shock!

Look, everyone! Look just above here! Nice little blue headers! Proper clickable links! I'm so excited! Coming soon - extra colours, fish and - ooh, who knows what else!
I know that to those of you whose home pages are psychedelic explosions of dazzling multi-coloured multi-media mayhem, my achievement tonight probably looks pitifully modest. But I am not of the generation that learns HTML just after it learns its ABC, and I'm EXCITED!!!
This could be the start of something mildly impressive.

Size matters
Posted Nov 10, 1999
Some years ago, the British government launched a controversial advertising campaign aimed at encouraging men to be more responsible about contraception. It featured a picture of a glum and apparently heavily pregnant young man, resting his hand on his massively swollen stomach, and the words "Would you be more careful if it was you that got pregnant?"
I was suddenly reminded of that striking image when I caught sight of myself sideways-on in my parents' bathroom mirror a couple of days ago.
It's no use; something HAS to be done about my increasing resemblance to Eric Cartman. Unlike that celebrated eight-year-old philosopher, I'm not even claiming that I'm big-boned. I'm FAT, and the only thing for it is less beer , no late-night curries and certainly no brownies with cream .
I might even have to consider (aaargh!) TAKING SOME EXERCISE too.
This is all getting too scary. I think I need a beer to settle my nerves.

Hitting the North
Posted Nov 5, 1999
This page is heading north for a few days in order to visit its parents , watch Bradford City, , eat curry , and do research for its first Guide Entry.
It wishes all its dear friends at h2g2 a fine weekend and a happy Monday, and looks forward to dropping in for a pint or several at the Forum & Firkin on Tuesday evening.
