I was saying to my dad at half time that if arsenal hit the wings more and abandon their barca-impersonation (for one game only!) they might see things change. Wing-play led to them getting more shots, but it did show barcelona's sturdy defense. They were only really broken on the break, so arsenal needs to retain confidence that tehy can close barca down quickly. I must say I thought fabregas had a bit of a poor game (by his standards) however I think his own bashed confidence was part of the reason he set up arshavin rather than really pushing for a shot himself. I'm worried that arsenal won't have much in reserve for the next leg. barca seemed fairly reserved but I think arsenal showed most of their cards. A review of the tapes might alter things a bit (as opposed to, say, spurs, with Bale maybe fit for the return leg and pretty much allowing redknapp to play a different game entirely)... Still, great game - far more interesting throughout than yesterday's.

He's sent a robot cowboy after you! Run!

Was just saying to my friend how arsenal need to be confident to play barca at their own game, but I couldn't see barca going the game without scoring and BAM there's the goal. .... Was just about to say arsenal needs to keep calm and BAM Nasri gets booked being an idiot.

Get rid of all clocks. Except your alarm - and have that facing away from you. If you don't know what the time is you can't stress!

It's more than simply having a beard. I know that much. I'm repressing a massive self-defensive rant that is pretty much an outlash at my own lack of job. Adulthood means being able to manage both responsibilities and yourself - financially, security-ily, healthily. Yet I am unable to prove to the world that I am an adult (aside from the beard, yet still some idiots ask me for ID) without a job. Shit, who am I kidding? I'm not applying for every job under the sun. But I thought adults were meant to have standards? That's the brick. The derogatory, degrading, depressing hole in the wall that leers at me and says cruel things. FUCK THAT SHIT I CAN DO BETTER. Which is why I aim a little higher. Time will come. Yeah sorry some of that self-pity wore its way through. Do you consider yourself an adult? Even if you are Job McBeardyface?

My teachers always had water with them. Or a cup of tea/coffee. Silly belgians!

Just checked and the only team who's beaten both of them this season is Juventus. Not checked tournaments, but I amend my previous statement to this season :P

Nice link Shorty. Reminds me of the deadjournal I used to keep aeons ago.

Yeah should be a good match. How many teams beat both milan sides in the same year? :P Just got to get my girlfriend to let me watch the match while I'm at hers tonight!

I was watching the BAFTAs last night - much better than the farce that the Oscars have become.

Namechanges aren't impossible... But of course you need to suggest a decent name first :P (spoon is a good name as it is)

Makeshiftthanks as I've run out I also have an issue with people being all "ME ME ME!" about every benign thought. I agree that keeping a record of your own thoughts is a good idea, but I'm just not keen on the need/desire to make it public record.

WHAT DID YOU DO

I saw a video on TED.com that says there's something like 50,000 blogs started a day. I generally use these forums for dear-diary type feel-bettering, and I have a pretty heavy sense of doubt when it comes to just how interesting my opinion is so a proper blog hasn't occurred (also the same reason my twittering just doesn't take off). When I discover the instigator amidst the voices I'll contribute to the 'net with something astounding. But for now I flounder without being an astounder.

Thanks charlie Yeah I figured it was all doable, but the laptop wasn't strictly hers so she didn't want to risk voiding any insurance or anything.

Stumbled on this a while ago -- absolutely horrible! Probably worse than a vid I posted ages ago of some dudes doing chin-ups on a crane. Hate how videos can make you feel as if you're really there. Hands were sweating when I watched this. Does he mention how much he gets paid for it?

Oh, sorry! I didn't realise.

I can teach you the ways of settlers of Catan. And hookahs are fine but I prefer hookers and wine. Or something.

Ah! Dude! I texted you on your birthday and didn't say nuffink! Sorry bled! Happy older-day, mate Always been a joy to meet you, and I always look forwards to the next meets with you, pretty much the forum mascot, always there to make us groan and sigh and other sexy things.

We're swapping cards this year. Valentines day is an excellent calendar event for people who are unable to be spontanious, yet are in a relationship. One year my girl kept trying to use coyness/cuteness to earn a rose from me. Fact is roses are more expensive this time of year, and the effect of gifting one is surely at its lowest on feb 14th! Anyway, we went to ASDA to find dinner (fajitas) and while waiting for the bus some christian dude gave her a rose "from god, who loves us all" and gave me a Twix. Legend. So yeah! She got a rose in the end and I didn't pay a penny for it. End of rubbish anecdote. And Wesley-style-writing. Tomorrow we'll try our hand at a jigsaw, eat some food, watch a movie, and just generally enjoy each others company and, I guess, be slightly more aware of just how lucky we each are (because hey, y'know, this is jayseven we're talking about here! Ahem).

Tapedeck I've had a similar thing a few times, actually. Doctor combined it with my allergies and reckons I'm just becoming more sensitive... Lame. Happens more at seasonal shifts. Sucks! But tolerable.

nintendo-master; funnily enough lisbeth was the only female my dad could name, despite the fact that actually she'd be a proper shit dinner guest! What was wrong with virgin suicides?!

I tend to say "I'm not going to give you anything but if you want to give me the speil then go ahead." Set them up for their own fall and make them feel responsible. If people are trying to hand out flyers then a polite "no thanks :)" will suffice... unless you're in london then you just gotta ignore them outright! Yeah Sheffield was definitely the worst place for charity peeps. I got suckered into donating to greenpeace for a while. They cost me £50 worth of bank charges. Fuckers.

The frail man? Yeah when I read stuff up pre-zell's lynch I made a mental note to find out who this fella is as he's dodgy... but forgot about it when it came out! AAAH!
