You may have wondered what has happened to Mystic Pete this new football year. Well, my sources tell me he is taking some time off from his uncanny prognosticising to spend more time in the garden, predicting rain and such forth (which may explain the drought we’ve had). He did mumble something about Rafael Benitez being the first managerial sacking, but even that was half-hearted. (Oh, I just noticed “arsenal to win shit” in the message above, it means “arsenal to win shit”, not “arsenal to win shit“. This being a message from Mystic Pete hopefully means arsenal will win shit. But that’s Opti-Mystic Pete, and he’s not in the building).

For those unfamiliar with Mystic Pete, he’s the guy who predicted France would win Euro 2008.

So, Joe Biden to run with Obama. Ok, getting the ‘grey’ vote. Possibly that shady Romney to run with McCain. Predictably, predictably, the words “Obama bin Biden” have started being tossed about the blogosphere by, well, fecking eejits (to use the technical term), most of whom seem to appear on the wordpress dashboard (why is it always republican supporting blogs and arsenal supporting blogs that appear on that dashboard?). Blogs that say stuff like, “ooh, it is a bit spooky, I’m definitely voting McCain now”. And I have to fight the urge to leave comments on those blogs. I really want to say, “GET OVER IT, you ignorant twats”, but really what’s the point? It’s just sad.

Also on this subject, a new word (new to me) has been flying around like a mosquito waiting to be swatted down: ‘veep’. Veep, and its derivative, ‘Veepstakes’. Veep. It sounds like a deodorant. Veep, keeps you dry for up to twelve hours. Or something you clean your bog with. Veep. Ok, new word, I’ll probably never use it, but there it is. Veep.
