England, Hot or Not?, Quite a wordy darts update

Hi,

England v Estonia tonight. I predict a 2-0 win for England. It’ll do for me. Gonna slouch out with a bottle of some kind of alcohol and watch it. Can’t wait as I’m very bored of work today. It’s just not grabbing me.

After being inspired by the radio, here’s my hot and not list for the week (I doubt it will be regular, maybe monthly if I fancy it). Basically a list of things I’m liking and not liking (or gone off slightly, at least) at the moment.

HOT:

• Cider
• Darts
• Placebo
• Sunshine
• Walking
• Home
• Adjectives

NOT:

• Bitter
• Football
• Deftones
• Rain
• Driving
• Work
• Adverbs

Come next month that might be all back to front so I might keep you posted. I can’t see myself going off football too much for too long, can you?! And I’m really really really going to try not to use adverbs

Darts Update:
2 games in 2 days, 2 legs won in both. However, one was enough for me to win and one wasn’t. On sunday I played my first Super League game for a couple of months or so and lost 3-2. One of those close run things. I played quite well-ish, better than previous Super League games anyway. The team won 5-3 so that’s good

On Monday we had a knockout game (which I thought was meant to be last week) against a team 2 leagues below us who we beat 4-1. I won mine 2-0 and played as well as I needed to. Hit a 140 close to the end to seal it. I worked out that I’d scored 1002 points (2 x 501) and my opponent scored just short of 500 so I’d have won twice before they even finished their first game. It was quite hard work strangely <– (adverb, sorry. There’s probably a few more in there I’d not thought about too). The pub wasn’t set up to host darts matches, in my opinion, despite having 2 boards and enthusiastic players. There was a table more or less in the way, if you stood to the left of the oche to play you had to stand behind it. Was a bit stupid but we won and that’s the main thing. Don’t know who we’ve got in the next round.

Summary:
Position: 2 (drawn out of a hat)
My Result: 2-0 win
Team Result: 4-1 win
Season 180 Count: 1

Anyway, that’s your lot until I write again. I wonder if that table I’ve made for the hot and not will work. – It didn’t so I’ve edited it. If I want HTML tables I should be allowed to have them!!

The Car Lives, Whit Friday & Oxygen Thieves

My car survived, by the way. Had one bearing done under warranty but had to pay for the other. £130ish. Bloody annoying but at least it’s working again now. I just hope if they break again it’ll happen before May next year!

I’m pleased it’s Friday. Even though it’s only been a 4 day week it’s felt like a 6 for some reason. I was more than ready for the weekend yesterday.

I had a customer today from Stockton in the North East. I wont go into too many details but I sold them something at work over the internet and I don’t know how they managed to use a computer to get it. I’m surprised they’re allowed electricity to be honest. They’d be described a an ‘oxygen thief’ in certain circles.

Off to Saddleworth tonight for the Whit Friday band contests which should be fun. Bit of a shame that it clashes with the England v Brazil game, I’ll have to set a video up for that and watch it tomorrow morning I think.

Right, I’m off to try and waste and avoid work as much as I can for the past 2 hours. I’ve done quite a lot this week and have had enough I tell you! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Darts Update:
Think it was meant to be a cup knockout game. Bloody opposition didn’t show up! Bunch of softies.

Stay lucky,

Scott.
