Been arguing this one for ages… but now I have an answer:
Is a player allowed to throw a ball over his opponent’s head and then catch it? Or is this deemed a knock on/forward pass?
- A player is not permitted to throw the ball over another player’s head as it’s a penalty offence.

Grrr…
There’s a really, REALLY annoying woman who sits behind me at work and she drives everyone insane. She’s petitioning for a divorce from her husband and is therefore going though each of her credit cards and bank accounts getting statements of what she’s spent on their shared house… I kid you not she has over 30 different accounts and statements to get, she’s been on the phone to the various banks and lenders for 3 solid days now!!

Had a really nice weekend with too many cocktails and lots of fun.
Went out in Covent Garden on Friday after work with Sian and Jacqui to the Retox Bar followed by steak and chips in the restaurant above, had planned to move onto the Stripey bar near home but by the time we got back on the tube we were all falling asleep.
Spent all of Saturday watching sport and videos before heading back into Covent Garden with Sian to Derek and Lorna’s birthday party at B@1 (Be At One). Was really good fun, with great mojitos, great music and fantastic company – nice just to catch up with some of the Deutsche lot that I haven’t seen in a while. Staggered onto the tube when everyone else moved onto Sway.
Quiet Sunday with a bit of shopping and lots of sleeping…. ZZZZZzzzzzzz

Was standing on the tube this morning crushed into the conversation of two well dressed, middle-aged, middle-class ladies. They were whinging to each other about the standards of today’s eduction system, in particular, “the lack of the basic common sense in the modern youth” and poor maths and english skills. The train is taking it usual rollercoaster ride though the Northern line’s hot and sweaty tunnels causing one of them to notice that the other is struggling to reach the hand-rail above her:
Lady 1: Ohh, are you OK? Can’t you reach? How tall are you?
Lady 2: 5 foot – 4
Lady 1: Ohh I’m the same, 5 foot – 4, but I can reach OK, must mean I have longer legs than you…
… … … Queue sniggering and racous laughter from all those around them who have been forced to hear their moaning for the last 3 stops!
(Maybe you had to be there?)

Not a bad weekend after a hellish week at work. Had good fun in Reading with Sian, Byrney, Jim, Nev, Sam, Shelly, Parminder, Matt, Alan and Vic. Was a bit of a squeeze but played lots of Family Fortunes at which I was absolutely terrible and was the only person not to be on a single winning team all night. Went to a pub in the middle of a forrest on Sunday for a massive lunch and then conked out for the rest of the day. Nice weeked really.
This site just got posted at work, I can’t work out if its a hoax or a genius idea, rabbit pie anyone?.

You won’t trust pictures in the media when you see just how much a skilled artist can change them. The ones of the people have the most impressive changes.

Now you know I like my crazy videos that seem to lurk everywhere on the web but playing chicken with a train is by far the most stupid thing I’ve ever seen. PS: don’t go to the the URL shown in the video!
