Fair point - hope you're right.

Last night was superb, will tell you all about it on Sunday, but basically was in a box next to Alan Shearer and Sienna Miller, was close enough to hear Andy Gray's commentary from the man himself and close enough to call Robbie Williams a cock and have him hear me. I didn't, but I was close enough to. I was a guest so didn't want to show my hosts up by shouting "COCK!" at a talentless fop.

The after show party was a little disappointing to be honest, down to the organisation at St James Park being amateurish and not used to hosting rich southerners who can afford more than one drink before they have to walk home. After queuing at the bar (next to Waddle and Grobbelaar) for 45 minutes to get a drink, then waiting even longer next time while someone else went to get their round, it all started to get a bit tense (& sober) and the joy of watching some surprisingly minging page 3 models, Dean Gaffney(?), the knobbish bloke from Hollyoaks, etc started to wear off.

Had a chat with Jayne Middlemiss about the embarassing farce that was Paul Gascoigne's half-time 'score from the halfway line' trick and had a chat with Ralf Little who seemed like a genuinely decent bloke and completely overwhelmed by the game and getting Man of the Match. Watched Calum Best make an arse out of himself and get instantly shunned by Harvey, the bird from Misteeq and the rest of the ligger crew. Sorry, the So Solid Crew. Saw Kluivert desperately trying to look like he belonged to the So Solid Crew and wasn't 'just a footballer' after all.

So the party was the suckiest bit, but all in all a bloody good night. Sienna Miller is officially hot stuff but I didn't get to talk to her, so I went back to my hotel room alone... Tried that RU21 stuff too and kinda think it works, have to try it again sometime. Tastes crap, but woke up feeling surprisingly decent for the amount of beer consumed.
