Adventures in Babysitting!!

My weekend to come will be one of faeses, a screaming girl and a sleepless night, no I won't be so drunk I shit the bed. I am babysitting my 10 month old neice, from 8am Saturday to Lunch time Sunday!! Arrrrrrggggggghhhh

Given the chance I think that would be me above, if, I was left to my own devices whilst on babysitting duty ha ha. Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately) I have a girlfriend who is the manager of childrens nursery, so is excellent with babies,(and dotes on my niece) so my input will be minimal. You know pulling faces, making stupid noises and waving my hands about, all of which I do when playing the old online pokes so I'm fully trained. Although I won't be telling her to "fuck off you cheating bastard" which is one of my regular profanities when being battered at the virtual felt.

So no lie in for me all weekend sigh, although the upside is we're having a beginners pokay night at my bro's on Saturday,an excuse to have a night of drinking, banter and to teach some of our rather poker ignorant mates, a bit more about the game we all love and enjoy. The missus is dropping me off at 5pm and is looking after my niece for the evening, so I can watch the England game, (Well that was the plan, I'll expain more a bit later, why this isn't happening) then into the dining room for the poker with a few of our friends. This is the third such night with the same group and strangely the poker bug hasn't caught any of them, don't get me wrong they have a good night we get shit faced and my bro knocks up his usually spectacular Chilli. Buuuuuut for some reason they haven't took to the game, when I first played I was insatiable, wanted to play, read and learn. But I was playing on level playing field, with equally clueless individuals and we learnt together as such, some more deeply and seriously than others though. Perhaps the fact of the 8 of us my bro and one other play regularly and ultimately win on these beginners nights, leaves them maybe with a bad taste in there mouth, so they just want to keep it as an occasional bit of fun? Who knows, anyway I'm looking forward to it as since my last Notts trip apart from extensive training work wise I haven't been up to much.

So the plan was to get there for 5pm, "crack a few tinnies," as they say in that place Hitler came from and watch our boys in a rare situation, a competive England match where the result's pretty irrelevant . . . Why has this changed, because we are boycotting the game and I hope everyone else is doing the same. The greedy fuckers!!! The game has been put out of reach of the terrestrial channels and with Setanta going under it was up for grabs, some internet streaming company has the rights now and are pimping it out for a bargain £12/£15 on the night online only. Thank you but fuck off. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure the F.A. promised all England's competitive matches would be available to the English supporters for free on terestrial T.V. this is obv not the case, why! Why should we have to pay to see our own boys play it's redic.

This is the bit that disgusts me: England defender Rio Ferdinand (Ex Hammer cunt, current Man Utd greedy cunt) has described it as: "A good step forward".He added: "I read that online advertising has taken over from TV, so that tells you something about where it's going on in terms of the digital world." . . . You stupid, thick, greedy, ugly idiot, Rio Ferdinand you should be applauded I mean you're clearly thinking of the fans and not your already over inflated wallet.

One comment summed it up at the end of the report:

"Well done Rio, Thanks for thinking of the fans, I am staggered you support something that takes away the national game from its massive TV fanbase and instead beams it to a tiny proportion of people with the necessary computer technology to receive it, so denying the majority chance to watch their heroes.I can only assume you have headed far too many balls and its affected your thinking.May I suggest in future you stop trying to sound like you have your finger on the pulse by quoting some half-baked bit of research(if you do some proper work during all that time off you have after training you'll see that limitations in the study) and instead stand up for the fans who can't afford to travel abroad but still want to support the national team. If you find that too difficult may I suggest that in future you just SHUT UP.

and another comment . .

Rio you may be able to afford to pay out for such luxuries without batting an eye lid, but for the average joe in the street that has to pull in 50 hours a week hard graft to earn a pittance and then have to pay extra to watch a match that should be free to all that want to watch it in this country is just down right wrong.

Not one person I know is going to be watching it "allegedly". I really, REALLY hope this backfires and they end up making a loss, the best bit is the games pretty meaningless from a qualifying point of view and hopefully this will impact significantly on sales. If people don't buy it then in the future these greedy cunts will look elsewhere for opportunities to basically rob us!!

Both the above sum up exactely how I feel and many others.

Anyways, got a crispy bacon bap with my name all over it sat on my desk infront of me . . . eh! what was that? "eat me!" . . . "Why thank you little bit of piggy, don't mind if I do"

Ends.
