For those of us who will, I hope, always be remote from war, I recommend reading Jim Muir’s account of the death of his friend Kaveh Golestan.

No joy for me in the Nag’s Head Grand National sweepstakes this year.

It had to happen. Someone has come here searching for Jessica Lynch + playboy. Get a life, saddo.

Weblog News has launched. It looks to be both interesting and potentially useful to anyone interesting in this thing we call "blogging".

A glorious sunny morning. And, apart from a brief excursion to the bank (where there was a MASSIVE queue – time for another letter of complaint?) and a planned outing for lunch with Sarah, I’ll be spending the day in front of this PC, writing forms and agreements. Joy.

Read Kitschbitch. ok?

My mind is elsewhere.

Woo! Yay! and indeed Hoopla! Reading 0 – Brighton 1. Mind you, still an hour of play left yet.
UPDATE: still 0-1 at half time. I’m off to see if it is on the big screen in the Nags.
FURTHER UPDATE: could barely stand it in the Nags, but Brighton won 2-1. Full report here. Utterly fantastic. Blood pressure only now returning to normal.
Oh yeah, beer with Clive, Kearn, Paul F, Hamish, DJ, Luce, Ruth, Caroline and numerous others.

Very big match for Brighton tonight against Reading. Both teams need to win for very different reasons. I have two predicitions: what I would like to see (2-1 to Brighton) and what I think will happen (2-0 to Reading). Crucially, BBC South have just shown footage of Brighton training, and, unless both Mum and I were much mistaken, it looked like Bobby Zamora was running around without problems from his hamstring injury.

This story is rather sad.
