JT and I remembered what I wanted to say!

Before I forget what I’ve been meaning to write about for the last few weeks, here we go. It is a bit late as it opened on the 4th January, but better late than never eh :D The Dubai skyline is now dominated by the tallest building in the World, the Burj Dubai, with a height of 800 metres. Simply mindboggling and something I’ll have to go and visit in my lifetime. Would be superb to see, and I bet the view isn’t half bad either :P Here you see how tall it is compared to other tall buildings worldwide.

Ridiculously that much taller than the closest rival. Been to the Sears Tower, Empire State Building, CN Tower but still have to conquer those in the Far East. Pretty misely how the UK’s tallest building, the Canary Wharf is tiny. It should be called the Canary Dwarf it is so miniscule. But the Burj Dubai is brilliant.

I’m so glad that this is the last day of January because bar a few nights, January has sucked. My laptop died, I lost my camera and on Friday found out I had a flat tyre. What a miserable hat-trick, and a costly one. Having never changed a tyre before, had to put the spare on so I could get to the garage to spend the £50 to have a new tyre. Brilliant stuff eh, just what you want to be doing before you’re about to go and get smashed, which was the ensuing result :P Still, could have been worse, could have found out at 5.45am on a morning shift :D A small blessing :P

I can’t afford to miss talking about a hero of mine. John Terry. Love the passion and courage he plays with on the football field. But again his private life has made front-page news instead of his sporting exploits on the back-pages. Having an affair with a mate’s missus is a huge no no and something that just shouldn’t be done. Yet JT, Captain Fantastic did this and the questions are now flowing of whether or not he should remain the captain of England. I agree that too much is made of the captaincy, but it is an important position and you need a leader to have the armband. Someone who can bark orders, set an example on the field and inspire players. Granted his private life isn’t angelic, but in footballing terms and leadership, he has to play and be the captain. It is obviously a nasty thing he did, and players may side with him, forgive him or go the other way and side with Wayne Bridge. Time will tell, but in my humble opinion he has to play and be captain.

I think he’ll be feeling more miserable than he looks in that picture, but if he can leads to World Cup Glory in the Summer, then so be it. I think that is the only thing that could relinquish some of the bitter memories.

It’s been all fun and games this weekend. Friday night was messy, and I think I’ve got myself a new nickname. In the club my feet fail me, and I go down as though I’ve been snipered. I was fine, just feet stopped working at an important time, and my mates thought there was a sniper. So think “Sniper” might stick :D

Then last night, started drinking at 3pm, a few pubs later, many pints later and on the train home, going in the wrong direction. So after frantically getting on one going in the right direction we get back to where we started. Mate gets another train and I head home to my flat. Without a clue where I am for most of the time, until I finally recognise where I am and stumble to the bus stop. Only to find out that the next bus isn’t going to be there for over an hour. So option 2 was to try and get a taxi, which on a Saturday night around midnight, was never really going to work. So I resorted to the final option. Walked home. Only took me an hour or so to trudge the few miles, but still a pain to do :D I should get drunk more often as it gives me motivation to do silly things like that and be able to walk for miles XDDD

DotD, can’t think of a douche, dude or dumbass to mention so will hold fire until tomorrow and name someone :P
