It's all about the discipline

A small row waged on a site where I left a comment- it has one of those systems where you get copied eternally with every subsequent comment - about Capitalized Headers. I don't know if they meant all CAPS or Title Caps, either way, anxious to please,  I opted for the understated.

You can give me your considered opinion in the comments. Or tell me to go f*ck myself. To be honest I'd just bask in the attention. Go on! Indulge ME!

Several of my twitterers (sort of a new project - I have e-books don't ya know!) - on a bit of a mental crack whore bitch vibe were complaining they had ordered the Windows Update, sorry, $29 Snow Leopard new OS from Amazon and not received it. I'm too inebriated to do the time conversion but it was late teatime GMT so prolly mid-morning California. You gotta love dem FAN BOYS!

I received an additional Windows update this week - cost me nothing, delivered on the QT. Resented it as it was a mandatory reboot.

Bitching aside, one guy (yes you JB) said Photoshop now loaded in 2 seconds. Yes you heard that right.  Just from a Digg feed, Adobe users bitching. Not JB though. On a non-fanboy take, it does sound a bit like a reboot rather than a simple update. On the subject of pomaceous cyphers, I read Apple staff were underwhelmed to have Mr Jobbs back at the helm. Search out the links for yourself. Start with popurls.

On the subject of unpopular figure-heads, Michel Berkley-Hunt Platini has got himself extra headlines giving his two-penneth on Eduardo. Frankly I am livid. When did the post-game, retropective, video evidence, referee enter the rules of the game. If they did, I apologise. I missed that rule change. Obviously when Chelski players assault referees they will suffer an international ban at the very least, or be ignored. Or not, or nothing else said. But then Drogba doesn't have a cannon on his shirt. Or how did fally-over Ronaldo manage to go a whole season without the slightest suggestion of UEFA condemnation, let alone match bans.

Staying with Champions League, when Dirk Kuyt went down with the haste of a binge-drinking teen on a Saturday night, where was Platini, the Scottish FA et al then? Nowhere, that's where. Where did the cries to ban him from Europe come form? Nowhere.

If you have anything to do with the piss-poor losers of the Scottish FA; if you are Michel Platini or any of his gravy-train riding cohorts, if you aer the talentless hacks that pass themselves off as the national press. Grow some. Dare to stand up and point this out as the jingoistic, xenophobic witch-hunt it so patently is. Frankly, that this has been brought in retrospectively disgusts me.

Where were you when Owen went to ground? Or Rooney? Pires? Where were you when every Italian defence ever has wrapped their arms around the attacking team on a corner? You should be ashamed of yourselves, not giving interviews, but hiding you faces. Shame on you.

You may have heard it sung from time to time; but we won the league, in Manchester; at Old Trafford to be precise. I really don't have a clue where I would lay a Florence on this game. Cesc is out and Eduardo has this hanging over his head - and every ref will listen to the bleating of the telly and take every assault as an attempt to con them - thanks Matt Smith you See Nut.

The PFA should defend Eduardo. Because of this bile, he is now subject to the likes of Taylor (notice the attempts to sanitize the aggressor by calling him 'Tiny'.

Tiny Taylor footballing thug - Yep, it has a certain ring to it. That strike was pre meditated. I don't think there is anything to suggest Eduardo took to the field looking to cheat anyone. I honestly don't believe Taylor to have been on the pitch without 'instructions' to 'knobble' Eduardo.

Welcome to the disappointment.

We can't both be right, it's probably me.
