For those Paul Simon fans out there (I know there`s a few) BBC Radio 2 are broadcasting a live concert especially recorded for the BBC.
PAUL SIMON
Saturday 3rd June, 21.00-22.00
Recorded on 25th May, Paul Simon performs a Live and Exclusive concert for Radio 2, in an intimate setting in London.
I`m not sure if this will be available to listen to at a later date via the BBC Radio Player either :(
Update: You can listen to the gig at:

World Cup Predictions
- Fri 2nd June 2006, 1:37 pm
I`ve just been glancing through the fixtures for the World Cup and found a predictor on the BBC website.
I think we can safely say that we`re going to qualify from our group against Sweden, Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago. Sweden seem to enjoy upsetting us but we should top our group.
That`ll put us against the runners up of Group B (Germany, Poland, Costa Rica & Ecuador). That should be Poland, no trouble there.
So now we`re in the Quarters against what should be Portugal (or maybe Holland). With payback due for both sides, we should see off either of those.
So now we`re in the semi`s against ... Brazil. What a surprise. I may be being a little patriotic but I think on the day, we will happily take them on.
Leaves us in the final against the Germans, Dutch or Argies. We should be in control against either of those.
So the Brazilians in the semi`s is our only real concern but we should, atleast, get that far.
On BetFair you can get odds of around 2.4 of England reaching the semi`s ... pretty small :(
Still, should be a good World Cup .. even if the Greeks fucked it up and didn`t qualify (fourth in their Qualifying group behind Ukraine, Turkey & Denmark).
Revenge of the eBay customer sold 'faulty' laptop

Some of you will have no doubt been passed a link to the website amirtofangsazan.blogspot.com - the story of a humble student who bought a laptop on ebay only to find it had been incorrectly advertised, sent late and ... well, that he`d been cheated out of some cash.
Reading the article on the Daily Mail website, the eBay user who bought the laptop and created the website is spikytom ... could it be the same spikytom that I worked with? The same spikytomthat always joins me for a dance of This Charming Man by The Smiths in The Loft? Apprently so!
The original item listing can be found here with the sellers negative feedback rating .
Good luck Tom, hope you get rich quick or atleast try hard dying! If the prick decides to take any action let us know, Maidstone will have a whip round for you!

The Big Move
- Tue 30th May 2006, 11:13 am
Well, it`s begun.
Sunday and bank holiday Monday was spent packing and boxing things up and taking them to my old folks place. I shall be moving in with Sarah and Statto for a few weeks until Sarah and I`s new house becomes available and habitable.
Luckily I have Wednesday off work, so the wardrobe and bed wil be the last things to be moved out (not including the fridge/freezer which I`m leaving for the time being).
We should complete the ownership of the new house early to mid-June (a couple of weeks tops). However, a lil wood -treatment and new carpets will keep us out until the end of June.
Watch this space for the house wamage partaroony invites.
