Well the 2-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago was hardly the resounding success that we all thought it was going to be. Average play throughout most of the game and then about 10 minutes at the end where it actually got interesting.
It's a bit sad if we have to rely on Wayne Rooney to win a game comfortably. And the next game against Sweden is likely to be the hardest in our group....
.... plus with Sweden's win against Paraguay we need to beat Sweden or at least draw with them to avoid meeting Germany in the second round. It's going to be nail-biting on Tuesday I think.
On the positive side I got absolutely leathered last night at Via Fossa and met 6 new people, which was great fun - although I've had a few random messages today on my phone, which makes me wonder what I was saying!!!

Shame on Latvia
The Latvian parliament has recently passed laws banning gay-marriage there and ministers have described being gay as a sin! Latvia is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU should take measures against that country to force them to bring their laws in line with the rest of the EU.
Coming on the same day that two guys are jailed in London for the homophobic murder of a 24 year old lad in London 10 months ago, it's no wonder that these sort of problems exist when parts of the political establishment believe being gay is inherently wrong.
Being gay is not something people choose to be... if it was a choice, people would choose to be straight every time.
Shame on Latvia for stirring up homophobia.

A note to Richard Jackson!
Hey... was nice to hear from you... it seems like ages since we last saw each-other.
Enjoy Ibiza (as if you wouldn't) and we'll definitely meet up in August at Pride. Oh and if anyone else is gonna be in Manchester for Pride weekend (last weekend in August) then give me a shout and we'll meet up.

A week goes by....
Can't believe it's already Friday night....
... for those of you wondering why I'm not out drinking copious amounts of Stella and then stumbling out of Cruz to eat Iraqi Fried Chicken, I'm working tomorrow and Sunday days. Which kinda kills my whole weekend.
Hey ho....
Things I've achieved since Monday:-
1) Went over to stay at David's. Which was nice and he cooked me a lovely Cottage Pie!!!!
2) Had David cut my hair.
3) Let David get me into 'Celebrity' X Factor. I'm slightly worried by this. Although it did provide several comedy moments involving Rebecca Loos, who I've now decided I quite like.
4) Went into town on Wednesday to the Chinese Buffet and saw the fattest girl I've ever seen in my life.
5) Spent the remainder of Wednesday afternoon and evening getting slowly pissed in AXM Bar. Well they let airport staff have drinks for a quid a go. We may have told the bar staff we're pilots. Oh dear God!!!
6) Came home and devoured 2 Tesco's cream cakes and chips and a ginsters pasty. It seemed a good idea at the time, but isn't gonna help me get a six-pack. Or even a two-pack!!
7) Managed to get up on Thursday morning!
8) Went to the gym twice.
9) Was entertained last night by Kirsten S, Denise and Julie, which involved vodka, wine and plenty of bitching about Fat-Sue's Supersize Wedding! It just keeps getting bigger!
10) Spent today laying out in the sun in the garden.
Main thing I haven't achieved this week: was supposed to meet Kirsten H for coffee. I promise to do this next week. Sorry Kirst.
