football yesterday! ole! we won, finally. 7-3, thanks to an early goal from jovin. and what a fantastic goal it was. off firdaus's sweetly struck corner, jovin rose high above the keeper and headed it down powerfully. textbook stuff. wonderful. yea. i had 2 assists, and alas, no goals. stayed behind after the game for a short kickabout, but i guess i had too much football, or actually too much time in the sun. had this bad headache for the rest of the day, and called in sick for work today. still feeling a little out-of-sorts.

went down to little india anyway, to look for this thai place that my dad recommended we go. the place, damn it, was closed for the day. and so was the french restaurant at the other end of little india. 1 hour of walking, and little to show for it. so we settled for this small place serving indian food. not too bad, but not somewhere i would go again. much too far, poor service and the food is at best second-rate. Dad asked me to give it a rating out of 10. 6. yea. thats as high as it'll ever get. the restaurant at mustafa's seems pretty good though; packed to the rafters it was.

tonight's the big game. biggest game between Lancashire teams. Liverpool versus Manchester United. the game's been on my mind for days now, and we're only a short time away from kickoff. can almost smell the blood. yea. you can bet on me singing along with the Old Trafford faithful, thousands of miles removed from the battleground i may be...

Build a bonfire, build a bonfire;
Put the Scousers on the top;
Put the City in the middle;
and burn the effing lot...

i heard the crickets at 6:46 pm
