I'd love to but we leave for Europe on Saturday for three weeks! Do you play in Jan/Feb? Hehe. I’d love to but we leave for Europe on Saturday for three weeks! Do you play in Jan/Feb?

Come for the frozen footie, stay for the beer.

I failed miserably at mastering the violin, the keyboard and the recorder. My singing sucks. I trust my ear so little that I often ask people around me whether the singer I am listening to is good or not, although rather than straight out asking I generally use a tactically placed question mark such as &#8220;she&#8217;s quite good, isn&#8217;t she?&#8221; or &#8220;is it me, or is he slightly off?&#8221; [...]

But I'm too old, and hung over, and as I sit here with a fag on the go, I thought I'd comment on your sporting prowess instead. So many revelations in one post. You stealth asthmatic. I never knew we had that in common. But Pavvers, you were a top footballer in Petrozavodsk. You happily took part in those Russia v the West (I was going to say England, but I think there were probably a German and a Swede on the team) internationals. Only I was exempt from playing, on grounds of homosexuality, and I sat with the girls on the sidelines, doing the Russian equivalent of cheerleading (we probably cried and said how bad football was for the soul). And haven't you inherited the rugby gene? In any case, well done for being an ex-smoking gym fiend, and glad you had a good bash on Thursday.

If my memory serves me correctly, Talentino used to occasionally make his way onto the Rugby League stage down the Rec on Friday afternoons. The most memorable of moments being that cheeky little sidestep to burst through the gap, only to collide with 'Mugger Myers' who subsequently dumped you to the floor snapping your collarbone in the process. A sparkling career extinguished in its infancy. But sport's loss is Blogging's gain... although it must take a natural strength and physical ability to carry those ears around!

And congrats on your awesome run. Good for you! I'm one of the runners/anti-gym people I guess. I find it hard to work out on a machine but find it much easier to run outside. Thank goodness for Central Park. And I quit the bad habit recently myself-so far so good. I celebrated Turkey Day yesterday because I had to work today (like the show, news must go on...) and I too woke up and was compelled to run in an act of weight-gain prevention. After exercising you don't feel so guilty after eatin that extra slab of mashers and stuffing. I only feel slightly guilty:) Happy Thanksgiving EiNY. And congrats on your awesome run. Good for you!
