It’s a sight for sore eyes. I really fancied a Snickers bar this evening so went to my little store of chocolate and opened one. Inside I found what can only be described as “A Fossilised Dog Poo”.
I think the only reason I can give for this deterioration in chocolate quality is that it was exposed to extreme temperatures a couple of weeks ago during that great weather we had. Either that or somebody who works for Masterfoods UK decided to undertake a science experiment and cross-breed a Mars Bar with a Milky Bar leading to catastrophic results kind of like those seen in The Fly.
Only mad dogs, Englishmen and Snickers Bars go out in the midday sun
I did not believe the Snickers bar was fit for human consumption so, along with its five mutated brothers has been thrown away in the bin. Sad day.
I’ve been off work ill the last two days, nothing serious, just some 48 hours bug which left me feeling a bit unwell. I was in a condition that while I wasn’t well enough to work I was not bed ridden with a vomit bowl an thermometer up my bum.
A good few hours of yesterday were spent moping around the bedroom, this lead to a fair but of mess as the day went on. As I normally like to keep the bedroom relatively orderly I decided today to tidy up this afternoon.

While tidying and vacuuming up I noticed a layer of black fluff all over the carpet. I realised this had come off a set of new socks I bought last week. The floor looked like some balding black mouse had been running around the floor leaving its fur behind.
Umbro Socks – 50% Fluff
Another problem with the “sock fur” was that it was a real bitch to vacuum up as it had become embedded. Once collected it formed a large cluster, there was enough fur to make a whole new sock! So here’s a tip Umbro, next time you make some socks, please use less fur. You’ll save money and it won’t get stuck in people’s damn carpets!
Bristol Rovers take on Bristol City in a pre-season friendly this evening. Somehow I don’t think the word “friendly” is very appropriate though. Police are expecting trouble and the local pubs have been shut.

The rivalry between Rovers and City is one of the most fierce and renowned in football. Putting both teams and fans together is like leaving a Chav and a Goth in a locked room together for an hour, blood will be spilt. This aside it should be a good game, if BBC Radio Bristol are broadcasting the game I may tune in as I’m always keen to keep an eye on how the local teams are doing.
The thing that has always surprised me about these two clubs is that they both represent Bristol, one of the largest cities in England yet both have failed to hold any significant honours.
I lived in Bristol for many years when I was younger and know fans of both clubs, both are well supported in and around the city. From what I can see is that they fail to hold onto any of their big name players. City have only recently let their best player Leroy Lita leave while Rovers failed to hang onto big name stars Marcus Stewart, Nathan Ellington and Jason Roberts.
Unfortunately like with most lower league clubs in England, financial implications mean that the upcoming players do move on or refuse to sign new contracts and stay at their club.
Exceptions of this include Hull City and Wigan. Hull have won consecutive promotions and are now in The Championship while Wigan can now call themselves a Premiership team (for this season at least).
The way Hull and Wigan have become successful is a combination of excellent management alongside great wealth being pumped. Effectively they are a lower league Chelsea.
I’m hoping these local teams can sort themselves out once and for all and eventually make it to The Premiership or at least The Championship. This, of course is if it in no way affects my beloved Leeds United (who will hopefully be going up next season!).
It finally seems that we have seen the last of that damn Crazy Frog. The Jamster ads are no longer on TV, the single is never played and nobody has it set as their ring tone (mind you I’m yet to find anybody who had it in the first place).
However, just when you thought the world was free from annoying, singing creatures along comes “Schnappi das kleine Krokodil”, potentially the worst thing to come out of Germany since Adolf Hitler.
Schnappi would eat The Crazy Frog for breakfast
Schnappi is a green singing crocodile who already has many websites both for and against him, a single and music video. All of these are in Germany at the moment but the phenomenon is scheduled to his the UK next month with records, ring tones and the usual crap.
I’ve heard the single and to be honest it’s not bad, a decent novelty record and enjoyable in small douses. However it is repetitive and I am sure after hearing it 1,000 times on television, radio and from children’s mobile phones it’ll leave me and the rest of the population wanting to kill it.
The official website is here while an unofficial webpage with samples of all Schnappi’s tunes is here (not too sure about the legality of this webpage so it may be gone before too long!).
Enjoy for the moment as by this time in two months you’ll hate it.
“This is your captain speaking….”
Finally apologies to Science from Big Brother, looks like my cause to keep you in the house backfired. Obviously the public would like to see a boring tart wander around the house for the remaining three weeks. Anyway, Sparkster.net will now be backing Eugene to win the series. Hopefully he’ll still be in the house this time next week.
Sparkster.net is now officially backing Science to win Big Brother 6. He is by far the most entertaining housemate in the series. He doesn’t live a toss about popularity from both the housemates and public.
He isn’t the most pleasant human being and to be honest I couldn’t stand to be around him for too long, although to watch a load of Big Brother idiots get wound up and get dragged into his pointless arguments is brilliant.
Science is up for eviction this week against Orlaith, I urge you all to vote her out and keep Citizen Science, the most entertaining housemate in the house. He is also second favourite to win, after Anthony.
I just hope this blog entry won’t act as a “kiss of death” and lead to Science’s eviction on Friday. Last year I backed Ahmed in Big Brother 5. He left the week after.
Robbie Blake – always great to get a goal on your debut
Moving onto Leeds United, the Mighty Whites took on Darlington in a pre-season friendly. They won 1-0 with an early opening goal from new signing Robbie Blake on his debut. Good news, another quality is just what Leeds need. Premiership, here we come!

So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
