Have a good one lad.

Consider this the cue

Well no, the referee would still be the referee in exactly the way it works in other sports that use it. His authority is not undermined at all. You're obviously never going to please everyone but the technology is there to make things so much better and the same old tradition excuses are getting boring.

Football needs to get away from this horribly bloated view of it's own ego that it thinks it's too good to have video technology used. I'm fucking sick of hearing the same stupid arguments about how it will destroy the game, It won't. Countless other sports have done it, many that have a much faster pace to them than football. It's used in Ice Hockey and does nothing but enhance the game. Everyone ones worried about time being wasted, at least it will be well spent. At the moment how much time is wasted on players arguing with referees and rolling on the floor after being tickled, all thing that don't happen in other sports. I could reel off 5 sports that use it and no one complains about the use of it. People always spout the same rubbish about it ruining the game, how will making sure the right results happen do that? It might put Hansen and Lawrenson out of a job but that's only another added benefit. Get rid of these stupid assistant assistants, they're a joke.

It all depends on the story really, you could have a tv show that last 10 season and not give a shit when something happens because it's just not hooked you. Yet using another example, one of my favourite films is Turner and Hooch, and when a certain someone dies after an 80 minutes; it still gets me everytime.

I'd say no, I was about 13 when my split and oddly it didn't upset me as much as I thought it might. I use to worry all the time when they argued that it might lead them to split. After it happened I wasn't really that bothered, I suppose it helped a lot that they got on better with each other after they split.

Exactly. When you've spent hours investing in a character for example, we'll use Dr Mark Greene from ER who dies at the end of season 8 (everyone in the world actually knows this, so it's not a spoiler.) which very roughly is 180 hours odd of time watching him. It's bound to affect you more than seeing a character die an hour into a film. Obviously it varies, but that's the way I see it.

Southland picked up for 10 episode 3rd season.

It wasn't a penatly. Case closed. Villa were shit, Birmingham were better. Villa won.

Anyone remember Train? pretty much only known over here for Drops of Jupiter almost 10 years ago now. Kinda rediscovered them over the last few days and am in the process of giving all their albums a listen. Started with the new one, Save me, San Francisco and I really like it. Nothing amazing, just really easy to listen too. Two favourites so far. Soul Sister. Audio Save Me, San Francisco. Audio

Happy birthday Jock, hay a good een min.

I'm more injury prone than sickness but i've suffered the last few months with various ailments. Getting my wisdom teeth out took a good couple of months to recover fully from (I only had 3 days off for that and 1 was for the actual operation) and now I've got swollen tonsils. I'm very rarely off, my absence rate at work is currently 0.3 %.

I reckon we need Partridge. "That was a goal". "Shit!" "Twat!" "He's got a foot like a traction engine". "That was liquid football".

True, it was basically a different show though, with a totally new cast. You've gotta blame Jennifer Garner for the shortened season as she decided to go do Womanly stuff.

Watching weekly Trauma, Smallville, Greys Anatomy. Catching up on Gossip Girl Waiting To Start Again Friday Night Lights Want to catch up on Southland, Bones, Chuck, Supernatural, One Tree Hill. Want to start watching Fringe, House, NCIS: LA. Wishing had never been cancelled Due South, Star Trek Enterprise, Everwood, The OC, Jericho, Alias: As long as the writers who did season 5 were shot first.. Wishing was fucking cancelled already CSI, Desperate Housewives, Jersey Shore, True Blood.

*High Fives* I've got tickets too see them at the AECC (That's in Aberdeen) on the 16th of August.

The iPhone OS4 has me interest in one again (I owned a 3G for about 14 months) but I'm kinda wondering what's the point. I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 at the moment, which I love, and still have 18 months on my contract left to run. So i'd have to pay a shitload for an early upgrade and I don't see what it does that much better. Yes it has apps but the only ones I use are Facebook and Twitter and RIM have made excellent official apps for them for Blackberry. I'll still keep an eye on it though

I picked up a white 13" Macbook last week, so I'm glad to see that hasn't been updated I've not really seen anything on the new Macbook Pro 13" but the old version was a complete waste of money in my view, not only is my one faster than that was but you're essentially paying £200 odd for Firewire and an SD slot.

I'm quite partial to a bit of Kelly, but I say the best to come out of Idol was Chris Daughtry. Someone who genuinely had talent and didn't need the winning contract to show it.

Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects.

Going down to glasgow tomorrow night to see OneRepublic, had tickets to see them a couple years back but couldn't go, so looking forward to this big time.

Reminds me of a Championship team kit, perhaps Derby. As in the division, not the EPL title (obviouly).
