I wrote a post some time ago about Keep In Time: Talking Drums and Whispering Vinyl, a short documentary film that DJ Shadow had shown at a gig. It was about legendary funk drummers collaborating with DJ's.
Who'd have thunk it? Not Owen, by the sounds of it. Seems as though be a model professional and getting your head down has got him approximately nowhere. No disrespect to Newcastle you understand, but they're not in the best of shape at the moment, out of Europe, played four, scored none, lost three. Hardly an ideal destination for the greatest English striker of his generation.
Seems he'd have been better getting caught drunk in nightclubs to raise his profile, and stamping his feet until he gets a starting place/favourable transfer.
Got back from a week in France a few days ago. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing week, just what I needed. We were sharing a Chalet with Hev's brother and Wife and some friends. There were eight of us, we hung out, laid on the beach, played cards, drank beer, had a rgeat laugh. Also had a couple of goes at surfing, which was great fun, though not overly successful, and those boards can be quite abrasive...
Congratulations to Robert and Emma O'Toole, who are the proud parents of baby boy, Lawrence O'Toole.
He's small and cute and everything a baby should be, and on time too!
See Rob, he did follow the specification...
Nothing is happening.
Everyone's on holiday.
I haven't played football because I'm still recovering from the cold.
At least the football season's started, Swindon are off to a typically flying start, (well not so much 'fly' as 'plummet') and are bottom of the league.
Grrr.
I have a stinking cold.
Feel rubbish.
Thought I'd share...

I'm slowly recovering from a busy weekend. We went to my very good friend Steve Jenkins' marriage to the lovely Liz on Friday, which was a great day. Thanks guys, many congratulations, and I hope you're having fun on your Honeymoon in the U.S. you lucky things you.
On the subject of exciting travels, my sister departed for a year's travelling around Sri Lanka (briefly) and Australia (mostly). It's strange to think I won't see her for at least a year, hope you have fun sis, drop us an email, bring me back a hat...

The other week I had a blow-out on the back wheel of my bike. I was quite suprised, as I didn't realise you could get blow outs on a push bike, punctures yep, but a blow out? The back wheel just went bang and was completely flat.
