I call for squash in Olympics
Posted on 5:51pm Friday 15th August 2008

Brum, squeal, honk
Posted on 2:53pm Tuesday 17th June 2008
It’s probably a case of watching too many old episodes of Top Gear on Dave TV to ease me into relaxation after returning home from late shifts at work, but I’ve begun to think of Euro 2008 as a motor race.

Posted on 2:52pm Tuesday 17th June 2008
And so the Grim Reaper cometh. I’m not sure why everyone insists on calling Group C the Group of Death. I mean it’s a bit extreme.
