Well Done Rangers for reaching the Uefa cup final, that was us two years ago. Le sigh. They may have gone to penalties but their semi final still pales in comparison to ours and the biggest comeback in history (twice). Nothing will ever compare - observe iconage. The SPL may be the most boring and peculiar league in Europe but you can't help ( Read more... )

I have an interview tomorrow for a Speech and Language Therapist's Assistant, and I really, really want it! I have the work experience, and it would actually give me the opportunity to use my degree. I also know all the terminology which is vital, when I worked at the mental hospital I spent so much time trying to learn terminology; as with all ( Read more... )

My Dad and I have just been doing happy dances around the front room, the Geordies have been kicked out of the UEFA Cup before even reaching the quarter finals and despite having scored four goals in the first leg. So much for their apparent "European Tradition". Once again the Geordies have tried to emulate the best club in the North East and ( Read more... )

For one night and one night only, Glindon is a Dutch, even though her Dutch accent sounds suspiciously like Sean Connery. Come on Alkmaar! I do hate those Geordies ( Read more... )

Come On Boro!

I don't care what needs to be done, that's irrelevant. I don't care if you need to break the oppositions legs, I don't care if you get sent off, I don't care if you get charged by the F.A for misconduct or unsporting behaviour. Just bring the God damn cup come home lads!I don't think I can handle anymore bad news ( Read more... )

Oh. My. God. That's all I can say, Oh My God! What a fucking game! Middlesbrough Football Club in the semi-final of the Uefa cup, who'd have bloody though it?! I'm not being unreasonable in saying that that was the best match we've ever played on home soil (including at Ayresome Park) and was the best European performance by any club in Europe ( Read more... )

Commandeered from Premiership

( If Premiership clubs were women )

It's done!! "The Vowels Sounds of Teesside English: A Study into the use of vowels and epenthetic schwa by the variables of age and gender" i.e., my dissertation, is completed, bound and handed in! When I actually came to hand it in this morning with Anna I didn't want to let it go, i've never put this much work into anything in my life! Anna also ( Read more... )

I really don't have a good feeling about tonight, I just can't see us winning it, but then I get an inkling that maybe we can. Then again last night I dreamt the we lost 5-1 although my dreams aren't anything to go by, the night before I dreamt Fletch was on The Apprentice. I know a lot of Boro fans are eternally optimistic, being a Boro fan you ( Read more... )

I am quite ashamed to say that I have done Jack Shit today (apart from read an article on Williams Syndrome.) I have spent my time sleeping, eating, talking, watching TV and waiting for George Best to die. Seriously, I messed around with myTunes most of the afternoon, had tea, listened to the Boro Match (we're through to the knock out stages yay ( Read more... )
