HUGE game on on Saturday...
Scotland v Engerland at Murrayfield, Edinburgh.
After a disappointing run out against the Welsh last Saturday, Scotland will have to do better against the reigning World Champions. But, if history is any judge we are hoping for a repeat of events in 1967 when the then football world champions - England - were resoundingly thrashed by Scotland in a marvelous display of "get it right up ye" soccer!

'mon the Scots!

Read today in Wired that Web Monkey is to shut down.
For a complete web novice like me, it's a real shame. Great source of scripts and "how-to-dos" on it. Apparently it wasn't a surprise to most developers - but I didn't see it coming!
Web Monkey RIP.

Obviously can't wait for Saturday, no the start of the Rugby 6 Nations tourny - it's Valentine's Day! :-x
So here are a few rhymes do drop your loved one:

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
But I only slept with you, because I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other.
Until, that is, I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue,
sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,
the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes the things you're not

I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag from off your face

I love your smile, your face, your eyes-
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "go to hell"

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
