er, both, if you witness my dainty footwork at the crease, you'll see how I skilfully blend the two together. Foxtrot and duck!

That's pretty serious KK, I'm kinda thinking shower, yawn, stretch and a grapefruit is a better start for a Monday morning - oh, and some in-yer-face red lippy to banish those blues. Chin up, chuck!

I'll be up for this.

theres everyone predicting thumping wins for Man U and Chelski, and they only win by a single goal each - But three bloody points each nontheless. Now we are loosing at home to the 'Boro. Holds miserable head in hands.

*torch one for me too - I'm loving the style in here - that piano bar thing is jusy my scene after the day I've had* *the day I've had? - don't ask. Just put the stretcher bearers on stand-by*

Ha, ha, DaveR - a friend of mine reads a lot, and he does all his reading sitting on the john. Must tell him about his kindred spirit. Anyhow - I heard a fascinating interview with Jeffrey Archer on Radio 5 a few days ago. He was alway famously pretty hard line regarding punitive punishments, until, that is he had his two years in Belmarsh. He came out with reformed views. It was a daily living hell. Boredom, drugs and illiteracy. For anyone with a normal lifestyle, he said, it was a complete shock to the system. Something like 60% illiteracy. 80% on drugs, The place was full of addiction, hopelessness, anger, brutality. One guy he spoke to wanted to swap places with him. "It's OK being in here" he said, "if like you, you'll get out to a job, a house, a family and friends. I've got none of them". It brought Archer up short. A year after leaving prison that guy was found dead on a park bench - heroin. Archer says he cringes now when former colleagues of him talk of prison being an "easy option".

"...Evenings without tears..." of course, that is me and Mrs Citizen sobbing on the sofa at 10pm

Draw time - Oh, that draw. I thought you were referring to Arsenal's recent form. Apart form Mockney's prescient 4 - 0 prediction for the hammers I'm going to say the only other surefire result has to be Aresnal 0 - 0 'boro. citizen the pessimist

List of much-missed items: (apologies in advance to Mrs Keef, Lady MacGabhann and Mrs Brendan) Novels Lie-ins Sunday Papers Tidy House Unbroken things Things that are not ripped Things that are not scribbled on Easy-going mornings Evenings without tears Going out for a drink Me. In exchange - daddy, I love you

Yes - should be doing some work now, it's vital to my future, my wellbeing, my family's future and that of those in my care - and yet I'm typing this on here. Double Jeeeesus!

Nice one Scruffy, I doff my cap to you and wish you all the best for the journey. Don't they say that the all successful authors are simply the ones that never give up - so hang in there.

Nods knowingly. With you on that one, Mighty.
