When I was making the bed today, I picked up the topsheet and stood beside the bed and flicked it out, and it landed on the bed in exactly the right position.
Then I picked up the duvet and with a flick of the wrist it seemed to launch itself over the bed correctly.
I felt like the James Bond of making beds.

Portugal just knocked England out of Euro 2004. There will be blood in the streets of Lisboa tonight.

More basketball today. Insanely good workout. Five menfolk and two womenfolk. Good stuff. (Note to self – stop hurling passes centimetres over the heads of shorter players – one of these days you will misjudge and break someone’s nose.)

Making a bed well is an art – or the sign of anal retention. I too wonder at my skill sometimes, though it has been far too long when the sheets and duvet have ‘snapped’ into place. You duly deserve Bond recognition.
I suspect your recent sheet prowess is based entirely on the hand eye coordination improvement resulting from your recent baskeball efforts.
Spot kicks are a silly way to decide a game. As are freethrows.
Blade II is an arse movie and has no relevance to anything in this comment.
I just about did break a girls nose playing indoor soccer. I was shooting on goal and got her right in the hooter, there was blood everywhere. Fortunatly it wasn’t broken (at least not obviously anyway. The faded blood is still on the court…
We’re still friends though (she got her revenge when she tackled me and I tripped on the ball and fell on my tailbone – I couldn’t walk properly for days).
Chuck’s last point is completely wrong. Blade II is a great movie; tense, atmospheric and pretty funny. It’s arguably better than Blade and stars a Goss brother. What could be better?
