As promised...

...i did buy a better paper today, but so far i've only found the time to read the sport section. I'm getting a bit worried about how much i've been reading about the cricket lately, it's a sport i consider lethal in that surely people must die after watching a 5 day test from sheer boredom. 5 days in a row surely must be dangerous? I even found myself watching a little of it yesterday. I console myself with the knowledge that i was in the gym at the time and that is also so tediously awful that almost anything seems interesting after 5 minutes on a treadmill or exercise bike.

However i found myself checking the score after i had been doing a few sit ups and resistance machine stuff away from any TV screens. Even more worryingly than that i've found myself wanting England to win this test. Now i put this down to the monstrous arrogance of the Australians about their cricket team, so chances are if England win this one and say even the next i daresay they'll be insufferable about winning at that as they are most things(well the media anyway) that normality will be restored and i'll be rooting for the Aussies to snatch a series win away from them.

A large dose of shame aside the upshot of it is that i've not really read my paper enough to write anything considered yet and i've just got a copy of Mark Thomas: The Night War Broke Out. So i plan on sticking that on just now. So while the blog might be a bit quiet today i'll possibly post something over the weekend and if not monday should be back to normal.
