A certain TH14 hits the pitch in Israel's national stadium tonight, with a few Israeli gooners probably torn between their admiration for him and their home nation...Not often does one of the world's greatest footballers get to grace the green (well, fairly green) turf in Ramat Gan. Big news here, and I'm already dreading the traffic on the way home from work.

Just before the match we get to sign contracts with our future tenant. Would you rent your house to someone, who, upon hearing my name, says: "Wow, do you remember that band from the 80's, Dashby and Simpson (he meant Ashford and Simpson), who sang 'Solid...solid as a rock..'?" and then bursts into song...I was worried he was going to step up onto our table and give it his all. Even the dog raised one of his ginger eyebrows. Twat.
