  Another weekend, another wasted couple of days. It hardly feels like I get anything done at all at the moment, at work or at home.
Anyway, wedding wise, we have: - My shoes - Centrepiece stuff. Get in. I need to organise soon a trip to Suits You for the ushers when Titch returns. I also need the measurements of a certain usher who is in Korea (you put them on one of the original comments boards, but that was shit and went down constantly).
Checking the gift list this weekend, we found that we have had our first wedding present bought! Huzzah! So, thanks to my Godfather, Mick, TFMrs and I will have some kitchen utensils to help us enjoy married life. Come on, you slackers, buy me stuff! TFMrs completed the PS2 game she bought 4 weeks ago. Bloody addict. I, myself, am close to completing Jak II, which is about 1000x times harder, so there. More family bitching about the wedding from, would you believe, Barbara!
She's got in touch with my mother to say that she's upset because I've only invited her (not + Guest) despite having had a long term relationship for so many years (maybe she might get an idea when she realises I didn't know because I haven't talked to her in years). My mother has caved so she can bring her bloke (Ian? ), whereas I am still volunteering to take all the blame from my mother. Blah. Families. Speaking of families, Jo's had her scan, and since certain parts didn't seem to be visible, it looks like I will have a niece.
== What a weekend of sport, eh? Leeds are fucked despite the previous 2 matches being pretty good results, The Arse are great even when not playing well, Kewell is still a diving piece of shit, but thankfully Owen is doing his best Emile Heskey impression, and of course... MAN UTD ARE SHITE! NO, REALLY SHITE! Jesus, what an awful result for them. Shaun Wright-Phillip's goal was great, but the rest should have been easily cleared. Nice to see what happens to a team when your overpriced defender forgets to take a piss. Speaking of which, his appeal claim of "Look!
My hair proves I didn't take drugs! " is going to fail, mainly because THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WAS PUNISHED FOR. Watched a bit of Test Match Cricket yesterday as well. Just how I liked it - over in two hours and England winning. == I need to get Sky and Broadband, if not only so I can watch football and recieve stupidly sized pictures from Jarratt in less than an hour.
TFMrs. spent about 2 hours yesterday online trying to sort out banking issues. I would have thrown the laptop across the room before then because it is so... slow... Generally, when on a banking website, what are you looking for? 1) A quick, easy system to navigate. 2) 150k worth of graphics to load with every page to make it look pretty. On a more sad note, I sent a tape to the parents to tape Wrestlemania XX. Yes, I know you think I'm a sad twat for this, but it is the equivalent of the FA Cup Final or Superbowl for wrestling.
The show had Benoit beating HHH and Shawn Michaels to become World Champion, Eddie Guerrero v Kurt Angle for the WWE Title and My Love, as well as the whole of Madison Square Gardens boing the biggest match of the night out of the building. Goldberg v Brock Lesnar was built up for about a year, but two problems occurred. Goldberg was generally getting booed for being a former WCW man, and it was generally well known that he was leaving after WM.
More shockingly, Lesnar, who in 2 years had been pushed to the main events and had half of the promotion built around him, tired of the work schedule and has quit to try out for the NFL. The fans, instead of cheering two behemoths on as they ripped each other apart, practically rioted because they knew the two were grabbing the money and leaving. All in all, it sounded one of the most eventful shows in years. So naturally... THEY FORGOT TO TAPE IT.
Jesus. == How about a liddle bit o' politics folks. Basically, I'm very worried about next year after the events in Spain last week. The theory goes that the bombs were Al Qaeda, attacking Spain for there participation in the Iraq invasion / "War on Islam". Three days later, the polls for the general election open and Prime Minister Aznar is kicked out.
This isn't entirely unexpected as his decision to go to war wasn't backed by Spaniards (5% in a poll last year agreed with the military action) and his insistence that ETA was behind the bombs despite the evidence of Al Qaeda involvment ("Koran found in nearby van? ETA haven't managed to kill 20 people in total since 2000? NO, IT WAS ETA! ETA! BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, I CAN'T HEAR YOU") was pissing off people because it looked like Aznar was trying to deflect criticism of himself. Now it looks like Al Qaeda have influenced the outcome of an election against one of the main backers of the Iraq invasion.
This does not bode well for Bush, Blair and Austrialia's John Howard, or the people in major cities within these countires, because they all face elections within the next 12 months or so. If Al Qaeda have managed to bring down a government using a handful of bombs on trains, imagine what they could do if they want to get rid of Blair or Bush.
== Right, I promise, a film review is coming. And, hopefully, I will get to see Starsky and Hutch next week, so you'll probably get one of that too. == Quick extra bit - you know those times when someone is taking a photo and you could really do without looking dodgy...
