It seems that I have made a massive blooper on my website!Scroll down to Saturday’s news regarding the rugby league match…
Look at the bit where I mentioned where it was played…
Notice I said Elland Road…
It wasn’t, it was played at Wigan’s JJB Stadium!!!
How did I not realise!!! ???
In my defence I will say I wasn’t really watching it – HONEST and was really making a note of what was mentioned on the WACCOE forum by some member who also thought it was being played at Elland Road.Still, I hang my head in shame and well done to the members on Total Rugby League for pointing it out (I noticed I was getting a lot of hits from their site).
Glad I could amuse lads; I tried to register on your forums to reply to the post but was told I need to pay £10.00 to join. Now that really is funny! Thanks for pointing the massive blooper out.
Just turned on Sky Sports and noticed they’re playing some international Rugby League (egg chasing) game at Leeds United’s ground, Elland Road *All those big rugby players jumping all over each other are tearing up the pitch! They’re breaking it! “Get off! Get off! Get off!“ :o( :o(
* OK, before you e-mail me, it’s not officially Leeds United’s ground as they sold it, but they still play there
What a mess!
So, as predicted the Leeds United takeover fell through and Elland Road was sold (although they can still play there indefinitely – I hope). Just another day in the farce that is Leeds United Football Club. I won’t even mention the defeat to Ipswich today, except to say Leeds were very unlucky not to draw.
Some good TV last night, I was out but luckily my Sky+ recorded it, it’s been very temperamental lately.Firstly Little Britain (originally shown Tuesday but failed to record). Another funny episode, highlights included Lou and Andy in church and up a tree as well as the Fat Fighters going out for a meal.
I look a pillock
On Channel 4 there was the new series of the Phoenix Nights spin off Max & Paddy by Peter Kay. Some spin off shows are awful, but this was funny (Peter Kay’s a genius), very much looking forward to next weeks episode.
Lastly, I finally managed to persuade Sky that my Sky+ box was well and truly f**ked. They are sending an engineer round tomorrow. I’ll give it to Sky on this occasion, a weekend call out at short notice is good service.
It’s been a few days since my last update and quite a lot has happened during my week off work.Firstly there has been all kinds of controversy surrounding Leeds United. The message board WACCOE was always the first with the information on the proposed takeover.
One minute the takeover was on the next it was off. At present it seems it’ll fall through and the Elland Road stadium may be sold. The next 6 hours could be very good or very bad for the club, worrying times indeed.We should know more at 1.00pm today about what is going on, not long left now…
Leeds United – half bust?
I attempted with success to do my Christmas shopping this week. I can’t stand shopping when it is busy so really wanted to avoid going to town in December where it would be manic, people seem to go crazy at that time of year.
Even going Christmas shopping in November had its stressful moments, most notably in The Disney Store. I was only in there for less than five minutes but the incessant, awful music they were piping out into the store was enough to make one kill themselves with a Mickey Mouse pencil, I’m sure the poor staff who work there must be deaf or robots.
The other day my Argos order for DVD shelves and a coffee maker arrived. Both were very good buys as the organisation of my large DVD collection has been greatly improved. The coffee maker makes some lovely fresh coffee as well although it has made my room smell like a Starbucks.
I went to see Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason at the cinema last night. Good film, although I don’t think it was as good as the first one. Highlights for me included the parachuting scene at the start (watch out for the James Bond reference) and the fight between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth at the end (so everything but the staff in the middle!). At least I was able to enjoy the film without sitting on the edge of my seat like with The Grudge.
My TV is now in the hospital and the good news is that it can be repaired for under £50, I’ll be without it for a week or so, but I can always run it via my laptop so some good news there.
Finally just after my TV starts playing up, the Sky+ box seems to be on its last legs with only four weeks left on the warranty. I keep getting FAILED recordings which is very annoying especially as it meant I missed Little Britain, it had better record the repeat tonight as well as Peter Kay’s Max and Paddy on Channel 4
I was watching the local HTV West news this afternoon and coverage of the weekend game between Bristol City and MK Dons came on. I noticed a player for City called Leroy Lita who is now the top scorer in all English leagues this season, grabbing 15 goals so far!
The news report also said that the Bristol City manager is concerned about keeping Lita as other clubs are sure to come in with offers for him. I instantly thought what a great player he would be for Leeds United.
Unless Lita is loyal to his club, (which is honourable) a move to Leeds United in a higher division would be a great move. I mentioned Lita on the Leeds United forum, WACCOE and he got a good response.
Therefore I went ahead and sent a message F.A.O. Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell via the LUFC website mentioning Lita. I doubt anything will come from this
a) because Leeds simply don’t have the money, even for a League One player.
b) Lita is probably loyal and won’t leave
c) Bristol City would be mad to sell him
d) Blackwell probably has his own ideas
But if you ever see Leroy Lita playing for Leeds United in the future, just remember who brought him to Blackwell’s attention, unless you’re a die hard Bristol City fan, in which case I had nothing to do with it – HONEST!
As for my TV, it is now in the Bath & North East Somerset AV Hospital being treated for a bad case of “StandyByism” (a medical term). The bad news is that it was made by Goodman’s. There is a national shortage on organs (TV parts) for some models, so unless it is a universal part that needs fixing it may have to be put to sleep and taken to the tip. T
he TV is in my prayers.I know this is morbid as the bulbs inside are still warm but if it does die it’s not the end of the world, it’s a great excuse to buy a bigger, better model.
