So... the right result came up in the FA Cup. Although I've always had a soft spot for Southampton, so bad luck to them, then. More on the gooner victory from He Who Never Sits Still, I imagine.

In other news, the Return to Dubai is on! Although the chances of staying at that exact hotel are obviously zero, and we're much more likely to end up in Spice Island with a repeat -- or worse -- of the ensuing blunders of last year. It'll all be fine, etc.... All we have to do now is hope and pray that the Wise People Above don't issue any kind of threat warning to us tourist-types.
