Alas, this is mostly football.

• We have been spinning the honey from my Dad's beehives over the weekend. A small problem arose in that the honey partially solidified because our kitchen is so cold. However, it is very good exercise for your arm muscles!
• I have never talked to so many different people about football as I did yesterday at work. This is why I put the tv on normally. It provides something for the particularly chatty customers to engage me in conversation about. Plus, it was vaguely interesting to watch.
• Doctor Who. Wow. I'm not going to say anything about it really, other than my family is now considering doing one of two things about our planned football barbeque next Saturday. One - cancel it because we haven't officially invited anyone yet. Or two - have people over anyway but force them to watch Doctor Who. See the power Doctor Who has over my family. It now officially has more weight than football.
• Voyage of the Dawntreader. I saw the trailer for it, as helpfully linked to by kohl_rimmed_eye . So excited! I am not going to be thwarted this time in my plans to see it at the cinema. I currently have several options, but as it is a Christmas release, I really don't need to be worried about it just yet. Christmas though? Not sure I can wait that long.
• I went through and editted a bunch of my tags yesterday, for reasons which now completely escape me. Hmm.

And now! For some quotes associated with the world cup!

Gerrard, after being asked what he thought the England match against Algeria: "Goals."

A caller on 606 to Robbie Savage: "All players have bad games. You more so than most."

Robbie Savage, after New Zealand went 1 up against Italy: "I know we're meant to be impartial and all at 5 live, and I am, but GO ON NEW ZEALAND!"

Robbie Savage, about a penalty being giving to Italy against New Zealand: "Sitting on this side of the fence, I can say that was a soft penalty. But if I'd been him, I would have gone down"

And there's also the French team are refusing to train because their fitness coach leaked comments by Anelka (who has been sent home) to the press. It's all rather intriguing. Gah, why does football always end up getting to me eventually?
