Must. Keep. Believing.

1-1 with Middlesbrough today
0-0 with Wigan last week
1-1 with Aston Villa the week before
2-2 with Birmingham before that

It's not going well for my team (since the dreadful injury to Eduardo, if you want to look for triggers to the dip in form). Man Utd are now top on goal difference, with a game in hand. If Chelsea win their game in hand by six clear goals (unlikely, unless it's Derby again :) they would move up into second. We now have to go to Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge in the league as well as (thanks to the Champions League draw) play Liverpool three times in a week.

It's going to be tough.
But exciting.

Bring it on.

H4ppier Flickr

Flickr users? Ever thought how it was slightly annoying that your home page displayed your photos in reverse date uploaded order (regardless of whether you were just doing a bit of catching up or moving across a whole load of archived snaps or slotting some in that other people had sent you) and that the Flickr Organizr didn't have a means of editing the upload date?

Well, head on over to h4ppier photos - it's still in beta but has all the tools to edit all that EXIF data (including, crucially, setting date uploaded = date taken) and get your home page looking the way you want it again. Single photos to batches of 500, it can be done. Also does tags, sets, groups, sizes, etc and so on.

Worth a look IMHO :)

On The Slide

With new floors come new cleaning requirements. And so we really ought to have a pair of these:

Slipper Genie

"Why use a dustmop when you can just clean the floor by walking on it? Microfiber fingers on the soles of these slippers grab dust, dirt, and hair as you walk around. The sole is detachable for cleaning. The drawback is that they only come in a size to fit women’s sizes 6-9, so children, most men, and women with larger feet are exempt from using them."

Drawback??? Heh...

Another In The Series

I really might have to get this:

Fibonacci T-shirt

Geektastic!

Overheard #37

And so to picturesque Hertford and its dictionary/mammal dichotomy:

"You can't go wrong with an aardvark."

More Galvanised Marmite, Tintin?

No, I don't know what it stands for, but I like it:

MGMT: Time To Pretend

I'm thinking half a pound of Tears For Fears, with a couple of heaped tablespoons of Depeche Mode (on Mogadon) and a pinch of Talking Heads.

You?

404: Post Not Found

Private joke :)

Tache The Way Uh Huh, Uh Huh

This has Shengsters and G.R.A.C.C. written all over it.

Moustache Me

"What that advert needs is a good moustaching..."

Two of things for you to ponder today:

a) Apparently, experts increasingly agree that I am middle-aged.
b) Charlie Brooker is (just) younger than me!

The Bacon Cup

I have posted this mainly to make Antonia snigger, but also because you simply cannot have too much bacon:

Neatorama: The Bacon Cup
Obviously it should really have been bacon bowls (and then it's only a short step to pastrami plates, chorizo cups, salami saucers and mortadella mugs). You can stop sniggering now. No, you can.

UPDATE: It has just dawned on me that, over the pond, a 'cup' is the name they give to an 'abdominal protector' which, over here, we who play cricket call a 'box'. So it is in fact a Bacon Box. That's just awesome. And soon to be an officially-endorsed G.R.A.C.C. product, if I have my way...
