Work 'n' fitba

Tomorrow night sees Rangers play Spanish team FBK Kaunas. This will be the first football match played at the Rangers' home ground, Ibrox Stadium, since I moved to Glasgow

Why should I, utterly indifferent to the Sport Of Overpaid Simpletons as I am, give a toss? I'll tell you why: Ibrox Stadium is half a mile up the road and my building is right next to a bus stop and a subway station. This means that tomorrow night there will be hoards of football fans milling around right below my window; and Glaswegian football fans can be... a spirited bunch. Advice has been unanimous: "Don't go out."

I'm not worried, though. I'll get some beers in, pull a chair up to the window and observe the shenanigans from the comfort of my second-floor flat. And when Rangers have a home match against their great local rivals Celtic, well, that should be a riot (perhaps literally).

Oh, and I started a new job today. Financial admin computery stuff, very little customer contact, no answering phone calls, dead convenient location, overtime available if I ever need a bit of extra dosh. Sorted.
