I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Well. This is a turn up for the books isn't it? What a shame. Here's the Government intent on opening up the political process and blasting apart the incestuous underbelly of the corridors of power, only to find that most of the documents relevant to the recent history of the good ol' UK (ie the 1980s) are contaminated with asbestos.I bet there's Sir Humphrey types all over Whitehall rushing to find asbestos they can sprinkle over the governmental documents of the past five years or so.
"Look, look at this: it's rife with asbestos - look at all the white asbestos powder on this file detailing discussions between PM and GWB from 2000 to present. It needs to quarantined for at least a century."
"I'm sorry Sir Humphrey but initial investigations indicate that the substance is actually baking powder......."
"Are you sure...there could be a Knighthood in this you know?"
I'm sure there are at least one or two historians or political scientists out there prepared to sacrifice their personal wellbeing in the search for the truth. I'm sure they would even sign wavers absolving the powers that be of any responsibility whatsoever. Anything to allow them to dig and delve into the primary evidence of the recent past.
And yet we all know that won't happen. Just like we all know that there's no asbestos been within 200 miles of the aforementioned documentation.
After listening to City go two down yesterday, I set off to the local to watch United and Arsenal. The local though was crowded so, Dearest and I set off for our Friday night pub and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon (apart from the result[s]).
How can my team score more goals in 45 minutes of one match WITHOUT Anelka than we have over the same period of time all season? A strike force of Fowler and Wright-Phillips and suddenly a Premiership top six side can't handle us. Strange.
Stranger still is the 'groin injury' to our only Muslim player as Ramadan begins. He's hardly ever injured is Anelka. In fact the last time he was injured and had to go off, we were 3-0 down to Spurs at half time in the Cup. Joey Barton got sent off for arguing and, just after the restart we lost Anelka to injury.
With 10 men we scored 4 goals in 45 minutes to confound the pundits who had us down and out.
Perhaps that groin needs a few kicks in training.......
Well I was right in my prediction about the 'game of the millennium' yesterday. I had a feeling United would nick it - and that was before I realised the ref was Mike (I'd better give Utd a Penalty I'm at Old Trafford) Riley.
Arsenal are a set of moaning main-chancers who try every dirty trick in the book to win. I should know, I watched 'em a couple of weeks ago as they struggled to beat the Mighty Blues. Lehmann in particular I detest. He's a mard tart who deserves every mistake he makes. Sorry Alan.
And as for United? Van Nistelrooy, you are one dirty, cheating bastard. I remember watching your histrionic diving at Maine Road during the last ever Derby there. That tackle on Cole was a disgrace. It'll be interesting to see what the Video Panel make of it over the next few days. Personally I think he should be banned for a few games. It was a nasty tackle that could've broke Cole's leg.
Still, at least you won didn't you? A fellow professional's leg must be worth that anyday. Sorry Andy.
