HNT anniversary!
HNT is a year old tomorrow so i thought i'd play today, but only half playing. Os wants our first HNT and a new one, well i've had to plump with the old one only...few other issues the last week or so, as regular readers will know. (previous post)
so here it is...my very first HNT (click the link i'm feeling lazy, sorry)
_______________________________________________________

thanks to everyone who has left a message and been supportive, you guys are my other family and it means so much to me to have you all wishing me the best and stuff like that, so a big THANK YOU and a hug goes out to each and every one of you
i've still not heard from that wanker yet, but i have paid in my cheque and as soon as i can cash against it i'm switching it into another account and leaving it there to gain plenty of interest :)

For all the guys out there: (print this up and pin it some place where the women in your lives will spot it) it's a little sexist, but very funny
Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to wives, girlfriends, fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all women in general).
These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in June/July this year...
LIST OF RULES
1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.
2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).
3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.
4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont happen.
5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.
6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.
7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".
8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.
9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:a) I will not go,b) I will not go, andc) I will not go.
10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.
11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this... why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".
12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards

(1) We Yanks have the NFL playoff weekend, so I can relate. In my most serious relationship, I actually gave up watching football for three years (she hated it, and hated me spending precious time away from her). I've promised myself that this will never happen again.

(2) Your blog is remarkable in that it really conveys a sense of family, or comraderie that's very visible in the posts and comments of your peers.

(3) My best wishes to you and your family at this time. What you're oing through seems quite difficult. I don't know how my family would respond to similar news, so I don't envy you. Deep down, I'm hoping you can find some kind of peace with this matter.

(4) A trip to the pub is never a bad idea. When I lived in the UK, the bell rung at 10:00pm. I'm reading in the papers that open hours have been extended.

If decide you want to go down and have a pint, cheers!

(5) Thanks for stopping by. You're always welcome.
