Sounds alright to me, if you had that power, you could flog it. I reckon Alan Sugar would give you a few million for you to dislike spurs. You'd have to really dislike them, like wear a shirt that says "Proud supporter of Arsinal, they are the only true team in north london (except barnet fc)", it wouldn't cost much compared to the few million you would get.

And some other footballers will come second.

Shortly. I don't care who lifts the cup, as long as football is the winner.

1 - Do you need it desperately?
2 - How much will you use it?
3 - Can you really afford it (think long term here - think a couple of months down the line with that cost missing from your balance)?
4 - Can you offset the cost slightly by selling whatever it has made redundant?

He could try selling himself.
EDIT: or, Gonz, you could add 'must give me iphone 4S to be going on with until iphone 5 comes out, at which time you will give me one of them' to your conditions of employment when you talk to new employers.

The new lot of pills they've got him on has really drained him. In fact, I think he's asleep at the moment. and so is the dog.

And you can use the facebook login button to have that "Read [article] on amazedogs" thinggy. It won't show up 'till I go through Facebook's approval process, which can take a week.

It's a site about dogs but the thing that jumps out is facebook.
The site is shaping up nicely though.

Out of interest, do you know what screen resolution you're using? It's quite common to have percistant social bars (thats what they're called), and this hides most of it until you initiate the Call To Action (roll-over).
The thing is though, websites are nearly always portrate and screens are nearly always landscape, hence the vertical scrolling... and these bars are normally on the side of the page.

Although you'd need a very high definition screen to make it out. Or possibly a high powered telescope.

1 - Yes... Ish. My phone has 'water damage', it works perfectly fine but I can't sale it. This means I'll be without a phone for 10 days while they replace it.
2 - 4 hours a day. Approx.
3 - Wages will be going up 50% once I accept a job, approx. I'll be getting 13 months pay this year.
4 - I'd get £200 for my old phone, and I'd have to spend £380 for the new phone. So that is £180 out my pocket... plus I'd get a £250 when I eventually go to sale it. But I would have to initally spend that £380, get £200 for the old phone in about 3 week's time when they replace it, and then I'd get the £250 that I could sale the iPhone for when I upgrade to the '5' model in october.

Don't you ever find you ever get "Fuck it, I'll have what I want, when I want it, right now" ?
* I'm sure this is a possitive word, although I get it might not be. I mean it to mean, being able to stretch your money, rather than being a tight.

and I'm not, particularly. I've just been in montyesque levels of poverty in the past, and had someone pull me out of it, and I've now learned that 'like' and 'want' are two separate things.

My attitude is that if I want something, and there is a way of having that something I want, and it doesn't mean I go without something else, then I'll have it. It's a shitty attitude that has gotten me into trouble many times 'cus I don't quite see the "without something else" part until later down the road. Plus I replace social events with things that come in styrophome.

but I've managed, recently, to dial back on the things taht I used to buy on impulse. And I don't tend to go shopping anywhere near as often as I used to. That generally helps.

Is losing to the current club of our former manager. This pleases me.
In other news, I just sold my car to a guy with the same surname as me. We decided we were probably related.

It's nice to have a meal just with aduts for a change, much as I love my (sort of) stepdaughter. the restaurant we're going to has an excellent menu and I'm already hungry. SO - fish or steak?

If not, fish.
If someone else is paying, lobster.

But, the rules are whenever we go out, if it's on the menu, it's available to eat. I don't see the point of going somewhere where you can't afford half of the things on the menu. If you're going out for a meal, eat what you want.
This does, however, mean that you have to pick your restaurant to suit your budget but tonight, as it's just me and my lovely G/F, it's money no object.

My mate got some sort of lasagne which was irrevocably bonded to his plate.
I had a toasted sandwich with scorched mould on it.

Excellent meal! Mussels with tomato chilli and coriander to start, pork loin wrapped in serrano ham with shredded apple with all the trimmings and a phenomenal lemon tart $ raspberry sorbet to finish. She had the house pate & tomato bread, poached smoked haddock & she skipped pudding for a cointreau coffee and a very small flapjack made with molasses and lavender.
Fan frickin tastic!

For the first time since our daughter was born I am taking Mrs Battered out for a meal & leaving our daughter with a babysitter. Looking forward to good food etc. slightly concerned about leaving the baby, even more concerned about what's me & the missus are going to talk about - not used to not talking about the baby, domestic stuff, work, the decorating etc.

Then you'll talk about how different life is now. Then you'll wonder if you should text the babysitter. Then you'll say "we should do this more often", and then you'll talk again about how different life is now.

Two of my housemates support Chelsea. To say they barely celebrated at full time today is an understatement. If it was Fulham I'd still be out now and wouldn't be home until about next Thursday. It's not fair, I LOVE football far less because of stuff like this.
If we finish above Liverpool I'll certainly LOVE it a lot more.

Moving tomorrow. Probably going to bed in a bit - a week of 5:45 starts has given me the bedtime of a ten-year-old.
But as long as she keeps quiet I won't kill her mummy. *unzips*
