Presto


(N.B. Best viewed in full screen mode)
(N.N.B. The Taiwanese have me beat)


Discovered Prezi from a Facebook message, which made preparing the GRP presentation that much less of a drag. It's not quite complete as a Powerpoint replacement - many features are lacking, even the ability to change the colour of the text used - but with a bit more work, I believe it would make a worthy competitor (if it wishes to contest the general market, that is).

Done: Annual Dragon Court activation. Also, the main hamster pedometer went broke on October 18 after some 1.2 million spins - that's one less thing to do each night.

The Rooney Saga is over with Shrek (yes, I supposed we're allowed to call him that now) signing a five-year extension on £160 000 a week. Well, the first thing I thought of was this (which coincidentally appeared almost exactly a year ago). But let us not be too hasty to condemn him.

What Rooney said: "...did not give me any of the assurances I was seeking about the future squad."

What he really meant: "C'mon, what did you expect me to say? That I just wanted more dosh? Then you lot would say I was mercenary, wouldn't you?"

"Okay, I just wanted more money, so blame me. So I needed some excuse, and my agent and I made up a cunning plan; I would ask the club chairman for an assurance that they would buy Messi, Pato, Kaka, Sneijder, Buffon, Higuain and Özil (and maybe Ronaldo) in January. He said no. Clearly, it was a sign that United could not match my ambitions! I would therefore have the high moral ground in wanting to go and make more money elsewhere. (Of course, if he actually said yes, I would just make some other s**t up, like my wife suddenly not liking the weather here - ok, Vidic did that, but we don't need originality here)"

"Yes, yes, I know the fans will be insulted and burn a few of my shirts and declare a blood feud on internet forums. But frankly, it's worth it for another £70 000 a week (and those burnt shirts will have to be replaced, so the club wins too). Then, a few weeks later, I'll score some tap-in on a plate against some mediocre team and almost everybody will be happy again."

"I mean, bloody Toure is on 200 grans a week at City. Have a heart, la*"

[*N.B. The Scouse dialect appears to contain la(h), as does Singlish (a form of convergent linguistic evolution?)]

And time to resume the Challenge: Now at P$487/P$500.

$100 on Aston Villa to beat Sunderland (at 2.77)
