What with it being Friday the 13th and all that, Blogger has naturally gone tits-up today and suffered a major malfunction, resulting in the temporary loss of all posts published since Wednesday. Personally I think it was instigated by the manager of The Brasserie at Brighton Marina, but I've so far failed to prove that.

In the meantime, the good news is that YouTube's still working, so here's the latest sports footage from the west country...


Shelley Rudman, eh? I bet she's got a few skeletons in the closet. Fortunately she's used to going downhill fast, which must be how she coped with visiting Devizes, but if you're wondering about the identity of the mysterious figure in black who pedals like a maniac and then says "Oooh, ain't it heavy!" in a gormless voice whilst meddling with a lead doughnut, well that would be none other than Big Sis. She's officially a Woman of Wiltshire (WOW). Although she thinks of herself as a Girl of Devizes (GOD). Either way, she's fit.

Being 120 miles from Wiltshire (which is about as close as you'd want to get), I naturally couldn't record 'Points West' off the telly. And neither could Big Sis. She struggled to get her DVD recorder to work last night. So I hacked into the iPlayer this morning and uploaded that clip to Youtube. I then e-mailed Big Sis with the news. She responded with this:

"The bit where I featured most was in the trailer!! Is that not available?!"

There's just no pleasing some people...


It's not so much fifteen minutes of fame, as five seconds in the background. She's like Ricky Gervais in Extras.
