The Admiral and his Elephant

It's that crappy time of the year again where you have to renew the car insurance. It started off a bit of a pain in the arse but it's actually worked out rather well. Good old Diamond quoted me £966 - NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX SQUIDS! That was pretty much not happening, so with the go compare opera man with the twirly fake moustache running around my head - I set about my investigation. I found Admiral and Elephant were both cheaper and cheaper still when I added old papa to the line up! So I phoned Diamond all ready with my 'I'm leaving and you can't stop me' speech - turns out that wasn't necessary because they matched the deal and not only that bettered it! (Bettered a word? Who cares!) So good times on the insurance front. Wahey!

It's Dad's birthday next week which is exciting! Although more exciting for him cos he is off to Dublin with Mum and Calum & Karen. That's okay, I didn't want to go anyway! Pah! In all seriousness i'm only a little sad cos I won't get to see him turn 50, although I don't really know what i'm expecting; perhaps a sudden break out of wrinkles. He will probably look the same on his return.

Before I forget I have to document Pompey's sudden winning form. Now I say sudden, this is because we have mostly been so awful it hurts my eyes. However, the last 4 matches have been 4 wins AND 4 clean sheets to boot! I don't know what Cotterill is putting in their Lucozade but whatever it is, it's working! After listening to the radio the first half of what sounded like the most one sided match ever we some how managed to come away from Ipswich with a 2 nil win. Less questions asked the better, i'm just pleased this goodness is making itself known! Yay! Relegation was a possibility (a minor one, but still...) a mere 2 weeks ago but now look at us, 12 points from 12 points. Yeeeeeeeeah you heard it.

I would really like to write more but I feel that this is the most positive note to end on. Plus it's clearly not the right time to be writing this!

Ciao Bella! (I don't even know what that means, it just sounds good.)
