Should This Fierce Magpie Be Allowed To Let Rip?

Yes.
England will need villainous birds like Newcastle's Andy Carroll if they are to duff up France tomorrow night at Wembley.

Fabio Capello has already named him as part of the team but whether or not he actually plays is something else.

The bad boy who has, as part of his bail conditions, been living with another more stable player, could bring the necessary height and vigour England currently lack. At 6ft 3in Carroll could head without mercy.

I say bring him on, never mind what he gets up to when out with the boys, it's what he can do to salvage the reputation of the England squad that matters.
Never has England needed a demolition man more than she does now.

On a more feminine note.
Last night I fell asleep a little later than usual on account of watching half of Black Hawk Down on C5. What I watched I liked. But being of a delicate nature my old eyes just couldn't stay open till the end.
I do look bright today though, so happy days!

No cooking today, not unless you call pouring some gravy over a few left over meatballs, cooking.
As Mr H. is doing the spooky shift I'll manage on very little;)

Now I must fly......................!
