I hate it when people misuse big words just to make themselves appear more intransigent.

Well, Arsenal lost.  It was a time when we knew that Newcastle would be up for revenge.  And we lost.

And I did not get to spend the time with the kids at the playground that I was planning to do.  Instead, after waking up late, we played about at home.  I got to feed them breakfast and then just stayed with them as my daughter had two friends coming round.  By the time they came, my son was asleep having been a pain in the day, I suspect because he is a bit unwell.  Anyway, my daughter had fun, and when my son woke up, he did too.  It is always nice to spend time with the kids, but I feel a bit guilty for not doing that much with them today.

Anyway, my guilty pleasure is X factor at the moment.  Really, it is one artist wannabe, though I do think that the competition standard is higher this year than in previous years.  Sad really.  Still might buy the anti-x factor single come Christmas like I did last year.

"How are my family?" he asks worriedly, "are they alright?"

The doctor replies, "they're comfortable..."
