Well, I'm back.
*Been to Borneo for 12 days, which was amazing. Five different places that we stayed in were fantastic. We got nicely sunburned, released four turtles into the sea, saw the orangutans, bartered with street traders in Kuala Lumpur, chowed down with Iban tribesmen, and ate the equivalent of a Chinese takeaway every day. Fabulous.
If you wish to see photos of it go to my facebook page, find Emma Smith, and take a look at her photo albums. There's one of me with cancer-invoking red skin, which you might laugh at.
*Prediction for this weekend: Pacquiao on points.
*Annoyance for last weekend: I'm just watching Chelsea-Barca and have been told that the unbelievable fight between Carl Froch and Jermain Taylor will be shown this weekend. Again. The third time ITV have shown it. This is called shutting the stable door after the horse has been knocked out with 14 seconds to go.
This fight was not on live on any network, despite Froch's sensational scrap with Jean Pascal in December. Ridiculous.
*Despite pre-match predictions the office didn't fall apart while I was away, although it still feels strange how few people are there. It's changing again next week, just as we'd got used to it. And it's still a wonderful job.
*If I was asked to sum up Coventry's season in three words I would chose Same as ever. For the last eight years inbetween seasons, no matter whether it's Iain Dowie or Gordon Strachan or Peter Reid (shudder) or Gary Mac, I have always thought that the team needs massive alteration, with the retention of some stars (including this season Keiron Westwood and Dan Fox, both of whom scrambled into the PFA Championship team of the year.). And every year we sell the stars, shuffle the side and make a pig's ear of it. Please Chris, sort it out. Saturday's defeat to Watford was abject.
*Talking of football - we have a unique fundraiser coming up in July - will tell all next time...
