Why do decent football teams have to be so negative. Fulham completely outplayed Norwich in the first half at Carrow Road today and should have been more than one goal ahead at the break. Then in the second half they just sat back on the lead and only got into our penalty area on a couple of occasions. The result is Norwich got a point with an injury time equaliser. Strikes me the game should have been abandoned as we didn't seem to know how to win and hey didn't seem to want to win.
The last day of what can only be described as the worst year of my life. Roll on 2012 it certainly can't be any worse.

Nearing The End of Another Year
It always amazes me how people think everything will change for the better once it gets to one minute into the new year.
Everyone parties as if, in the words of Prince, it's 1999, only to find that once the New Year is under way everything turns back to normal. People are used and abused, massive egos take over and we are subjected to the usual marketing and advertising that threatens to turn our lives into so much mush.
Politicians will continue bleeding us dry and lying, bankers will continue bleeding us dry full stop and everything will carry on much as it has in the previous 12 months. But we all tell each other that this year things will be different - They never are.
It's still very mild and a bright day has given way to rain. I am storing up books to read and a visit to Wymondham Library today brought me Retromania Pop Culture's Addiction to it's own past by Simon Reynolds and Out of Mao's Shadow by Philip Pan. For some reason the Reynolds book was filed under True Crime and Psychology!
Half an hour in the gym and two hours in the pub - surely it should have been the other way round.

Dickens of a Story
Some members of my family can't see that Great Expectations is one of the greatest stories ever written.
The latest adaptation on television is pretty good. Have enjoyed the last two nights and the whole thing comes to a climax tonight.
It has been a rather miserable day with winds and heavy rain. Only managed to get to the bottle bank which was horribly full. Spent the afternoon playing Pointless and pretty pointless it was as well.

Sale of Tat
They call them sales but quite honestly most of the stuff on offer is tat.
So it turned out today when we got the park and ride into Norwich to do some shopping. Most of the sales goods in most of the shops had been chucked either into a heap or fallen onto the floor.
So gave up in frustration and went for a pint in the Murderers instead - much more enjoyable. There were some really ignorant people at the park and ride. It was raining and as many people as possible got into the shelter. Some ignorant selfish people behind us blocked the entrance in order to save themselves a few yards' walk while those behind them got wet.
Sign outside John Lewis back door. partners entrance . So it seems they are never knowingly undersold but never knowingly apostrophised!!
