    So, schools are closed today because "it's a little bit windy out."

    They're just bantering me off surely? #Eurotrash

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    It's ever since they started calling a bit of wind 'Hurricane This' or 'Storm That'. My wife is constantly telling me 'Ooh, Storm Ffion is on its way' as if I'm supposed to give a shït.

    For some people, giving wind a name seems to make it more scary.

    I watched the whole Cathy Newman interview. It was a lot more fun

    than the edited version, which formed the basis of my original comments.

    Oh, I assumed you'd seen the whole thing. To be fair to them, I'd applaud them for releasing it at all given that it made their presenter look enormously silly. Do you see what I mean about her just appearing to be horribly under-prepared?

    It's insurance liabilities gone mad, I tell you!

    Still, I shall spend a refreshing afternoon with my sons enjoying popcorn, hot-dogs, bread & butter pudding and FIFA on my new television, just to show the powers-that-be we will not allow their workshy, craven fecklessness to harass us.

    No, I'm rubbish and they're very good. I love playing it with them though, great fun.

    I played it over the Xmas break.

    No exaggeration to say I had no idea what I was doing, the first half of the game I didn't even know which on screen player I was controlling.

    Naturally I lost.
