Ban the touts!
The teenage cancer Trust tickets went on sale today and unsurprisingly the offical internet sites selling tickets all crashed. You don't mind too much except you know half the tickets are going to end up on e-bay. If there was a law (which exists solely for football matches) that you cannot sell a ticket for above the face value then problems of the sites crashing would be sorted.
Been an ok week this week. Saw West Ham lose to Liverpool in the Butterchurn on Tuesday. Bizarrely if you were at the game you would have seen Bonnie Tyler at half time. Two good goals from the scousers and the hammers aren't so happy. In fact they are in deep relegation do-do. I quite like West Ham but after spending so much in the transfer window you do want them to go down to prove money can't buy anything. Saints got a well deserved win against Sheffield Wednesday, wednesday, with two goals from Kenwynne Jones. I've always liked Kenwynne and get disappointed with some members of the crowd who obviously don't. This game he showed he can be a real threat. It was a fantastic cross from our player of the season so far, Chris Baird, to set him up for the second. Have got another huge game tomorrow where we are at home to leaders Derby. Win that and there's a real chance of automatic promotion.
Last night I watched the original Japenese version of 'The Ring' which I've had for some time yet never got round to watching. Its infinately better than the american remake. Chilling right till the end. Have got the follow up to watch next week (& this time I haven't seen the american remake so the plot will be unfamilar).
With the big game Saturday and that I'm not working, I am looking forward to the weekend. Got another gig to attend next week with Jimmy Barnes on Wednesday. Allegedley an acoustic show, it is at the Borderline, a tiny basement in soho. Should be good!
