manchester united 1-0 arsenal (bit about play at the end)

balls shit bloody cunt fucking poo

but to be fair they were the better side.

We, arsenal fans, just have to come to terms with the fact that on paper we are worse than Chelsea and United but this season is not just about head to head.
For the team in second to have less than two points a game is astonishing and its all because the other teams are closing the gap. This year winning the title will all be about how well you do against the birminghams, the boltons, the west broms and the newcastles (if we'd have won some of them we'd have been miles clear) it will be about mental strength to dig deep on those cold days away from home.
Over the last few years we haven't had that strength and so far we don't seem to have it either, but it could all change and with a little injury luck we could be barclays premier league champions come may (not forgetting the carling cup too)

in a completely related quote 'up the arse'


and because this blog needs a rant mike ashley and venky's group should be hung drawn quartered and then brought back to life squashed into toilet paper and then used to wipe tottenham fan's arses.

the play went really well with the second night being the best. (a drunk english teacher helped a lot) but it left me absolutely knackered the whole weekend

4 days to freedom and hadracha to follow

Friedrich Dürrenmatt

who? i hear you ask

you don't want to know.

I'm in this years school play with years 9-13 and our teacher decided to challenge us with a play that is hardly ever performed. She tried to explain that this was because it was so hard to act.

Three months, endless nights after school, weekends later we have all realised it is because it is so dull perform.

It does seem to be pulling together at the last minute, but even the greatest actors in the world could not make this interesting.


on a lighter note i do wear an awesome mayor gown. Hope my acting isn't to much of a mare though (and yes i can here you cringing at that pun)

Here goes...

It's always nice to start off on a good note so here goes.

I went to some maths lectures with school and saw a talk on the fourth dimension. (total mindfuck) The guy talked about a 4-d version of the mobius loop (one sided looped piece of paper-see picture) called a klein bottle and showed us a hat that had been made in the style.

I thought it would be nice to buy one for our maths teacher (along with mobius loop scarf) and did so. After, the order I was expecting the normal computer generated do not reply response but no instead i got a nerdily witty order confirmation and a further reply when i thanked him for making me laugh

The emails went like this:

Dear Jamie,

Thank you very much for your Klein Bottle order! I've just snuggled
the Black/Grey/White Klein Bottle Hat & Mobius Scarf into a 25x33 cm
padded envelope with the usual Acme literature, invoice, and agitprop.

While packing the one-sided hat and scarf, I took a few photos. You
can see these pictures at
http://www.kleinbottle.com/gallery2/main.php/v/456SomePhotosForJamie

I will bicycle (or maybe swim) to the post office tomorrow (Monday)
and send it via First Class Mail International (which means Air Mail).
The envelope should arrive in about a week or 10 days depending on the
post and customs. If it does not arrive within 3 weeks, please send
e-mail and I will do my best to track it down. Sad to say, this class
of service does not have electronic tracking.

So, from across the Atlantic and across our three spatial dimensions,
here's my one-sided cheers to you. I'm sure you'll like the one-sided
hat and scarf!

San Francisco, California)

thanks for your speedy shipment

I love the fact that humor has been incorporated in every aspect of your

website and it makes a change from the boring computer generated rubbish
I normally recieve.

even if it is computer generated it still made me smile


so thankyou


jamie


Hi again Jamie,

Computer generated?  Well, some of it.  I guess I could type credit card authorization numbers whenever one shows up, but I'd rather have fun with other things (like playing taxi-driver to my two sullen teenage kids).  Unlike you, they have zero tolerance for my humor (and repeatedly warn me to stay far away when their friends are near).  Sigh...

Warm cheers from the west coast of America, where it's drizzling down here, and probably snowing up in the mountains.


It was really unexpected and left me feeling (as the cliche goes) all warm inside.

You may say I'm old fashioned for appreciating real communication in the modern age, but when was the last time amazon told you the weather


Nerdy banter FTW
