WordPress has a total of 37 themes. I have recently fallen out with my long standing favourite and top scorer, Regulus 2.1.3, after he blatantly deceived me over the state of his CSS injury.

Consequently, I will be implementing a rotation policy (with immediate effect) to give each squad member a fair and equitable chance to stake his claim (hand in glove).

Then I will conduct a poll of all my loyal readers (both of them) to determine the winner.

Then I will reinstate Regulus 2.1.3.

You are currently admiring Solipsus 1.5 (aka Cartoon Network ).

I have a video of Pete Doherty's err, duet with Elton John at Live 8.

It is clearly marked and I have removed the write-protect tab.

I am not a fan of The Libertines or Babyshambles.

I just want to use it to show my children that's what drugs do to you.

Against my better judgement (see solitary comment), I uploaded my static list of feeds and RSS subscriptions to Share Your OPML.

'Subscriptions like Mine' tells me that my love match (with an impressive strength rating of 36.371) is none other than, Number 1, Eddie Awad.

The wedding is on Saturday July 22. Please, no presents. All donations to charity.

Obviously all loyal readers of this humble blog (from August 2005 with proof) are all invited. The remainder (Johnny Come Lately's) are on the reserve list (i.e evening reception only).

Watching World Cup Goals Galore on BBC3 which also has a fantastic music soundtrack. Some great goals and memories.

Although I get thoroughly sick of the media hype and the endless analysis, you can't help but get excited about the World Cup now.

It looks like Rooney may yet be named in the squad. It doesn't look like Carrick will play the 'holding role' but Carragher might. Let's just hope he can produce a forward pass and that he doesn't keel over with cramp in extra time.

Full fixture list, localised TV Schedules, print out and keep wallchart, pictures of the stadiums, group tables, X-rays of Wayne Rooneys metatarsal and all of this in an Excel spreadsheet.

For a man who can't even spell Pivot Table, this is a truly staggering achievement. Or maybe there isn't much to do of an evening in New Zealand.

Graham Paramore, the worldwide football community salutes you.

Maybe Doug's right. Perhaps WordPress isn't a suitable blogging platform for serious technical Web journals (with 473 lines of 10046 trace) after all.

The latest theme (Solipsus 1.5) announced for WordPress is described thus:

Black & Brown design, inspired by Adult Swim of Cartoon Network.

That's all folks !

Why did all the England players have tiny, little mascots apart from Michael Owen who had a strapping teenager who was actually taller than him ?

What with that and Crouch's ludicrous robotic dancing, I thought I was watching a night of alternative comedy, not an international friendly.

In April 2002, I got off my barstool and actually went to see a Manchester United game. The fixture was at Upton Park and I was in the Bobby Moore stand as I was the guest of a West Ham member.

United won an very entertaining game 5-3 and Beckham scored a fantastic goal (lob from outside the box). All of this made it very hard to keep my mouth shut.

Ironically, I was stood (sorry - sitting) just 10 yards from the away support and enjoyed all the chants and banter between the two sets of supporters.

Depending on the score and the mood, the West Ham fans usually replied to the United chants with some witty retort, hurled some abuse or just stood in silence.

Interestingly, the chant that provoked by far the biggest reaction was when United chanted 'Argentina, Argentina' at the England (sorry - West Ham) supporters.

I don't agree with Alex Ferguson about everything (Stam, Beckham, RvN) but to make positive, bullish noises on Friday then quietly release the statement that Rooney's injury involves the joint was an absolute master stroke.

Football Shirts Hall Of Shame. Top Left. Coventry City. A true classic.
