Something For The Weekend

Don't be fooled by the title of this post - I'm not going to go into too much depth about the demise of Tim Lovejoy, former presenter of Soccer AM, current run-of-the-mill mid morning jumble sale show bastard.  He had it all; adoring football fans, great gags and a beautiful blonde shemale co-presenter by his side, but he threw it all away to 'better his career'.  How many times have we heard that before?  Actors jumping ship from Eastenders, found on a Metro advert a few years later, advertising them as 'that bloke from Albert Square' in some Easter pantomime of Puss in fucking Boots.  Should have taken that storyine about being caught fiddling with your dog, shouldn't you Mr Gaffney?

On a very much more positive note, I'm going to the City Hall tonight to see Milton Jones.  If you don't know who he is, he's the weird bloke who often appears on Mock the Week (maybe that doesn't narrow it down enough), who also does the voice for that little midget creature thing in the Harry Potter films.  He's clever, he's odd, and he's a damn sight better than the gimmicky dross served up by the likes of Michael McIntyre and Peter Kay all too often.  Take a look and judge for yourself:

Bringing everything back down to miserable earth again, I'll be going to watch my beloved Newcastle United serve up another wonderful plate of false hope at 3PM Saturday.  Walking to St James Park every other week is like walking backwards and forwards down a dark alley to be gang raped by a bunch of bigger lads.  It's painful to watch, but the sense of belonging is there every time you go back.

Try to enjoy your weekend.
