Meanwhile Over in Blighty

The sporting event of the day was NOT England recapturing the Ashes after 20-odd years. It was West Ham's 4-0 trouncing of Aston Villa at Upton Park this evening, highlighted by Marlon Harewood's hat trick and Yossi Benayoun's spectacular debut goal, as he turned his defender first one way and then the other before sliding a left foot shot under the Villa keeper.

How do I know this in such detail? Um, I ... read about it. Skim read, actually. Ok, just a quick glance at the replay on telly during a toilet break. How "quick" a glance? Five..ty minutes. Sixty tops, give or take ... an hour. Fine, more taking than giving. What do you want from me? Heck, even the shnooks in solitary confinement are entitled to a couple of hours exercise a day.

Now, I better get back to Monday Night Foot- er, breach by anticipatory repudiation.
