Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

This is a documentary about the West Memphis three, which is the case that the Devils's Snot film was based on.

The docu is a far better watch imo.

Replaced the latch on the lectric box with a heavy duty model. It was part of a job lot of bits and bobs that Red's Girl gave to me. (I think they fell off the back of a tractor).

I wonder if I'll get to see this one rot off?

For comparison purposes, this is an Inca lectric box.

Is the lectric box waterproof? Does it matter?

It's 'water resistant'.

It only said 'Waterproof' on the very best wristwatches. (I so wanted a Rolex when I was younger).

What do they call that referee that looks like a cyborg?

Pierluigi Collina?

My wife always referred to him as 'Scary Ref'

Lol, yes, that's him. Thanks.

I call him Uncle Fester

Once David had told me his name I read his wiki, and very interesting it was too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierluigi_Collina

A much misunderstood man, & I'm a huge fan of his. It's rather a shame that inflexible age rules forced him to retire whilst we was still at his peak. Football would be a better place if there were more refs like him around.

Intelligent, articulate, with a great passion for trying to improve football.

If you go a googling, there was a TV Doc about him on Sky Sports recently, which was a wonderful watch. He was in a studio with the regular football pundits - Neville, Souness, Carragher, & he owned them. But politely. He understands the old "hearts & minds" thing. You don't win arguments or debates by shouting or swearing at the opposition.

Come here, I'll give you a cuddle.

Watched the football with the girls.

Tell me the truth Tom. No bullshit.

 
The very first moment you saw your beautiful, beloved Daughter in those "ripped" jeans, (I think the trade term is distressed jeans), what were your.....


1) Exact thoughts.

2) Exact words.


Feel free to swerve the question if it is a bit close to the bone. But no bs.

That's my granddaughter Tony. Do keep up.

The first time I saw ripped jeans on my daughters was when they ripped them while working with me. I must admit I was a bit nonplussed when I saw them pay good money for jeans that someone else had ripped.

These days I've mellowed out, I'm not nearly so judgmental. I'm a cool Grandad, I leave all the style-cramping to the parents.

What do you think about this bit, taken from the wiki article?


Everton would go on to draw Villarreal, the toughest possible opponents and future semifinalists. In the second leg Collina was seen to favour Villarreal, awarding innocuous free kicks against Everton and continually breaking up their momentum. As Everton chased and scored a late equaliser in Spain, it was seen as an error to disallow the goal when Collina ruled that Duncan Ferguson had committed a foul in the build-up to the goal, but again there had been no infringement.

Ugh, my apologies. Your daughters always look so young though, hence the mistake.

Lol @ nonplussed

You are getting too diplomatic in your dotage.

Nothing, particularly.

It's football, people get passionate & say or write daft things. You should see what supporting Newcastle United does to otherwise sensible, rational & intelligent people - they completely lose all common-sense & judgement. (Or some do, not all of course).

Plus, referees (unlike footballers it seems) are human, & make mistakes, have bad days.

My admiration remains on full beam.

Re. those holes stitched together wth bits of denim:

I reckon they must be rather tricky to slip into when in a hurry.

They don't do much in a hurry Ralph.
