My Arsenal-supporting brother thinks Man U will never beat then for a third time. I am praying he is wrong. I am aware we can still win with a draw but I want this one to be stylish and emphatic.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1686502271427790706-1923578850361535130?l=newtonheath18.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641206494913026261noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686502271427790706.post-75831670487915831442009-05-15T04:56:00.000-07:002009-05-15T05:06:10.581-07:00Having been suffering from a general ennui of late I met a friend for Guinness and gossip in Digbeth last night. It's almost like going home for me. Whilst in the smoking section of the pub, which flouts all smoking ban rules from what I see, I got to chatting to an Irish granddad about his grand-daughter's impending "<em>First Holy Communion". </em>Later during the horse racing results, a fight broke out. However, I did get to spot more gaps in a market. Never being one for sentimentality or anything touristy, my mate complained on my behalf about the unnecessary shamrock on the head of pint. She came back with one with a swastika on it. Thing of all that advertising space going to waste.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1686502271427790706-7583167048791583144?l=newtonheath18.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641206494913026261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686502271427790706.post-77903520797248015462009-05-13T13:55:00.000-07:002009-05-13T13:57:04.758-07:00The final whistle has just blown.

Whilst out shopping yesterday I was making an impulse buy and being lazy took off my headphones and hung them around my neck without pausing my music. I was paying by card and it took a few seconds to dial through. The lady serving me turned to her colleague and said "Listen to that they have hold music while the card transaction dials through".<br />Suggestions for other gaps in the music market please....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1686502271427790706-940904571748796631?l=newtonheath18.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641206494913026261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686502271427790706.post-64910366912006621402009-05-11T14:40:00.000-07:002009-05-11T14:47:18.409-07:00No this is not a reference to some chasity-endorsing newspaper.
