Pick of the Anfield Chants
(To the tune of Que Sera Sera)

"Steve Gerrard Gerrard
He hits them from 40 yards
He's big and he's fucking hard
Steve Gerrard Gerrard"

Anfield

Man to Man
"So where's your woman", he asked across the table. The last time I'd been in this pub was for a romantic meeting in 1997. I barely recognised it.
"What," I said - feeling uncomfortable - it was only the second time I'd met him and I'd heard things since that time.
"Your woman - where is she"
"Oh!" I said - mentioning her name, "Oh she doesn't come out much - she doesn't drink".
"I see", he said. "She doesn't come out much".

Habit
"I won't be around on your birthday", I said as we sat next to a pool table half way through the first half.
"So I heard", he grinned, "You're starting to make a bit of a habit of this".
"You're enjoying trying to make me feel guilty - aren't you," I said. " I didn't know you were even doing anything for your birthday till last thursday. This arrange,ment was made ages ago."
He continued to rib me - pointing out my squirming.
"My room nearly done now" I said,
"I heard someone injured their back doing it". He said.
"You would have seen it if you hadn't declined my latest invitations."
"I'm tired of travelling all the way over there," He responded. "People don't come over to my place. I don't feel guilty about it."

End
I'm coming to the end of the road. The wall road - the road with no wall. It was a longer journey than I envisaged - involving more people, more money, more thought and more stress than I'd bargained for. More of everything for less wall. I'm so knackered anyone would think I did the work myself. Actually I have been doing some of the work - decorating the last three evenings after work - that's why I'm indisposed in the way I just mentioned. In the morning the men come to fit the carpet - I presume they will be men - but actually I know nothing of their gender. One thing I didn't know before is that in 2007 if you tell people you're buying a carpet - approximately 85% of them say:-
"Have you thought of polishing the floorboards? or
"Have you thought of laminate flooring?".
Maybe if I buy a new bath - everyone will wonder if I've thought washing myself with baby wipes instead. I'll never know until I do - and I'm not likley to because there's nothing wrong with my bath and I don't like the smell of baby wipes - OK???
I would like to say - that manifesting an absense of wall has taken up valuable blogging time - which is my reason for the recent barren patch. The fact is - its not true - it was my burgeoning addiction to facebook scrabble that has taken every spare moment - there it is - I've said it now - I hope you're happy. Goodnight!
