I don't want to wear an England jersey abroad, I don't want to be associated with the typical twats that do (and I really don't give that much of a shit about the national team), but it'd be nice to have some form of sporting jersey for when I have kickabouts on the beach and that kind of thing and I do like yellow.


That's what City kits are for.

Wouldn't want to risk it getting knackered abroad, I like to keep it all pristine, or as pristine as possible when it spends most of the time on my sweaty angry body.

I like this, from Stephen Fry:

There are very basic elements of class snobbery that apply in the web as they do everywhere else.

For some of us a MySpace page is just pretty low rent. It's a pink, sparkly thing that's very charming for a 14-year-old girl, but a serious adult with a MySpace page has a problem. And Facebook is becoming a bit low rent too.

You know that awful thing they say: "What's so good about Sainsburys? It keeps the scum out of Waitrose".

It's that awful British snobbery.

In the same way, if someone's email address is hotmail or AOL, you kind of think "Hmmn, I see, they're not a real player, are they?"

I mean please don't be offended if you're thinking "How dare you - it's a perfectly respectable address", of course it's a respectable address.

It's ridiculous and, like all class things, absurd, but the web has it.


So, are you a web snob? Do you guffaw at people with hotmail or msn email addy's? Does you correct grammer and spelling on forums?

Crazy:

At least 11 people have been killed in a shooting at a school in south-west Germany, officials say.

Most of the dead are thought to have been pupils at the Albertville secondary school in Winnenden, north of Stuttgart.

The gunman, who was said to be wearing black combat gear, is thought to be a 17-year-old former pupil.

There are conflicting reports as to fate of the gunman, who fled the school into the centre of town.

There are unconfirmed reports that he has been shot and wounded, either by police or by himself. An earlier report said he had been arrested.

State police chief Konrad Jelden in Stuttgart said the dead included 10 students and one adult, the Associated Press news agency reported.

The chief reporter of the Stuttgart Journal newspaper, Kevin Latzel, told the BBC that there was a lot of confusion at the scene of the shooting.

"It's very horrible... the parents are crying, the pupils are crying and a lot of police is there and nobody knows really what happened," he said.

"They are very afraid, the pupils are calling their parents and the parents they want to pick [them] up but they can't do this, the parents they are not allowed to get into the classrooms," he added.

The attack is reported to have begun at about 0945 (0845 GMT).

The gunman "went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath", regional police chief Erwin Hetger said, the Associated Press news agency reported.

"I've never seen anything like this in my life," he said.

Witnesses said students jumped from the windows of the school after the gunman opened fire.

About 1,000 children are thought to attend the school, in the town some 20km (12 miles) north-east of Stuttgart.
