Today’s Monday, the start of the week. Today’s a particularly blue one – almost the same hue as my testicles. Nick’s without internet access, I’m engaged in digestive pyrotechnics of the squirty bum persuasion and I’ve recently been told – much to my surprise – that I overshare.

To take your mind off of that particular revelation, and hopefully brighten up your Monday – here’s a pic of Russian hottie Irina Sheik, or Irina Shaykhlislamova to her vodka-swilling pals.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because I couldn’t keep it in. Read that as you like.

    Continuing today’s tradition of sucking; My PS3 (on its last day of warranty) just blew up. No lightning, nothing. Just dead.

    and a special dedication today from one of our listeners, Geoff this one is for you

    When it comes out of your bum
    like a bullet from a gun
    diarrhoea diarrhoea

    When it runs down your leg
    like a scrambled egg
    diarrhoea diarrhoea

    You know its not very funny
    but it’s very hot and runny
    diarrhoea diarrhoea

    hey guys, love your site, have posted a couple of times on here. unfortunately it is starting to get a little hard for me to log on to your site at work, you see, i am a doctor at a private clinic in nelspruit, and those ‘in other news’ pics showing female flesh are a little uncomfortable, i am not a prude, its just that i sometimes read ur articles in between patients and i dont want to make them uncomfy…not trying to inconvenience your readers’ taste though, was just merely seeing if that isnt a big deal to as for….on another note, when is pes 11 coming out, i loved it at rage.
    regards

    Hi gerald… or do I have to call you Dr Gerald now that I know? Thanks for sharing it is something that a few people have mentioned at times but over all people do seem to like the ION headers… we always make sure they aren’t showing anything that shouldn’t be shown but I can understand the worry at times.

    If I can come up with a brilliant way to keep them and keep them work safe we’ll implement it…

    As for PES, I don’t know for 100% sure. I know our copy is being reviewed at the moment and we normally get them a week or two before launch so hopefully at the end of this week

    I don;t play footie games, but the general consensus among those who take footbal videogames seriously is that PES is miles ahead of Fifa in terms of depth and gameplay, while Fifa has the licences. If you want to actually play as a specific team, them Fifa’s your bet – but if you want the better gaming experience you ought to go for PES.

    Of course, those who’re really serious will no doubt get both.

    Personally I have always been a FIFA fan simply because they have the licence for Liverpool… PES is possibly technically better but I never got into it at all.
