I think I might have just reinvented the weekend warrior. Ah. Well. Happens when one makes a futile effort at squeezing everything into that bit of time.

Did some catching up on the lives of others. Man, what a shocker.

Sports over the weekend's shaping up to be fascinating. And in good time too. Was beginning to wonder what to do with my weekend nights. England dominated a third-string Wales in their Test Rugby battle last night. Awesome power from the forward line. England are finally getting somewhere for next month's World Cup. Men in several positions to look out for; Shaun Perry at number 9, Nick Easter at number 8, Lawrence Dallaglio either in the forward pack or off the bench, Jason Robinson at full-back, and of course the key man, Johnny Wilkinson at fly-half. Frightening the way they tore at an ineffective Welsh fifteen. But of course, the Welsh side that took to the field at Twickenham aren't the best they've got, and even the best Wales squad wouldn't figure among the most-feared sides in the world. Plenty of work then for the defending world champions.

And the annual football curtain-raiser tonight. Glorified friendly or not, its gonna be hard-fought. No quarter asked, and none will be given. Come on ya Red Devils!

And I realise, after reading through this rubbish piece, that this has been one disjointed, poorly-written post. Dang.
