The One About the Englishman, the Welshman and the Canadian

Quote of the moment:
"Losing is good for you - if you work in A&E" - According to a recent study in Cardiff on match days, winning results in more assault victims because of men with their spirits buoyed by pride, patriotism and rapidly downed drinks!

Went running today. Was going great, managed about a mile at fast jog/slow run pace, then stopped to stretch and my knee started complaining. Bastard. Had to limp all the way home. Rather like doing some weights last night and being limited by my buggered shoulder, despite dosing up on Ibuprofen.

I was supposed to be working from 6pm til 11pm. That was a somewhat ambitious estimate, given that the restaurant didn't empty until nearly 11pm and the backlog of dishes combined with the pigsty left by the chefs wasn't cleared until 12.30am! At least it's more money in the bank(as long as I actually get paid for it). Didn't do much for the supper left out for me though.

Watched Quads again tonight, which is a strange cartoon about a guy paralysed in a car crash and his impaired friends living in a mansion bought with his compensation payment. You can tell it's Canadian already, before the randy pointy-nippled girlfriend, before Sister Butch the nun and a long time before the 'partly funded by the Canadian cash-for-being-risqué Board' logo at the end. Only in Canada.

Missed Desperate Housewives, as I probably shall permanently from now on. Damnation! I'm now watching A Private Function, which is quite entertaining, terribly English and produced by George 'Beatle no.3' Harrison:

Maggie Smith to Michael Palin: "Right Gilbert. I think sexual intercourse is in order."

The sex appeal. Me and Prill both, though she has a weird liking for the red-head.
