Three minutes away you were from having the pleasure of me videoing myself doing a naked umbaba round my back garden in the snow.

But thankfully, Spurs put paid to that little escapade just as I was getting down to my underpants. They also put paid to any other thoughts of a gaggle of Dingles descending upon the capital for a cup final.

You can’t help but be impressed by it as an effort. Even a few Blackburn fans felt a bit sorry for all concerned. Though that might not last. ;-)

Anyway, in order to cheer us all up I’ve come across the 2009 Female Mechanics Calendar. No, it’s not pornographic, nor is it clad remotely scantily – it’s a calendar full of women who are mechanics.

Now I don’t want this to come across as patronising or snide. I wanted to highlight it for the same reason that the photographer who put the thing together did – to show that they are genuine Rosie the Riveter type role models out there, and maybe this will help render the necessity for calendars pointing such a fact out in the future worthless.
