Borderline

OK,it's official. I need help.

See, I don't regard myself as a weepy woman not really, even during those most regular of feminine experiences...I get murderous, not fragile. I knew something was wrong last night when I was honestly feeling Renaldo's pain at being unable to continue the match; actually I should have been sorry for those poor Dutch players; the poor devils were hitting the deck every minute and a half - must have been one hell of a sniper somewhere in that crowd.

My undue sympathy came as a bit of a surprise to me, but not as bizarre as my sudden response to a video clip I saw just now. Anyone remember the song 'Starlight' by the Superman Lovers? The video tells the story of an animated rat and his potato headed friend who make a record. It bums out on their home world, but certain aliens love it and come to take Rat and Potatohead to a new cosmic home. Unfortunately the aliens are werry werry small and their spaceship is to scale, so they take Rat to a glorious jacuzzi in the sky and leave Potatohead behind. There is a point where Potatohead weeps and Rat's lips quiver...and suddenly tears were in my own eyes at the thought of poor abandoned Potatohead. It all seemed so unjust...

I couldn't watch it and came up here instead.

Yes it has been a stressful week, but this is out of control even for me. Empathy for plasticene is not a useful superpower. Anyone want some spare hormones?

Thank you for 'the usual', it will do very nicely:-)

Oh those naughty dutch boys, they were taking advantage of the ref's precision weren't they? Don't see why everyone is getting angry with the ref though - these are Fifa's rules, not his...

Absolutely, poor ref being blamed for the fact that the players had taken 'Cheating psycho' pills. See you whenever suits you.
