Always thought Pritchard was just one of Vince's yes men, who carried over in to being one of Triple H's, like a cockroach surviving nuclear war. He never struck me as being any way creative or having a good insight into the business when he used to do the podcast with that hillbilly lad who hawked viagra on the ad breaks. Brother Love was always shite too.

I went back to work 8 weeks ago after being off for a few months after a breakdown. I see a psychologist in the community clinic once a week and if appointment is for 3pm, she's there at 3pm. I also have to go to this clinic for outpatient medication prescription every 12 weeks. This morning my appointment was for 9:30am and I wasn't seen until 11:30am. I have never once been seen on time in 6 months using service. My work have been very accommodating and my manager is prepared to just keep me on the clock for the weekly appointments, but 2 hours waiting around to see the psych today is taking the piss with their generosity. Issue I reckon is I don't think the clinic is used to people using their services having a job. Cos I live in and they cover a rough enough/high poverty catchment area and some of the folks I sit with in the waiting room are obviously seriously sedated on medication for conditions more serious than mine and I can't imagine they would be too capable of holding a job in that condition. I don't want to sound like a prick complaining about this to the clinic, but I know if it's a regular thing it's going to lead to hassle from work.

Did yer man 'Silent Rage' from the Austin era of Tough Enough ever have a main roster match? I remember him being in a few backstage segments and that's about it.

I can recall Colt Cabana having a single semi squash match against The Brian Kendrick on Smackdown, where they inserted a crap vignette of him in the little entrance video box acting like a mime during his entrance, and then never seeing him again. When Punk won the title after the 'pipebomb' promo there were whispers of him coming back to WWE as a commentator, but it never made telly if he did.

Is that Scott Stanford doing commentary? he's bloody awful whoever he is.

Terribly sad. Apparently his ex manager nicked the money she was supposed to be paying in taxes on his behalf and he ended up owing more money to the IRS than he made in his entire run in Breaking Bad. He was excellent as Walt Jr. The scene where he protects Skyler and his sister from Walt towards the end of the show was really well done.

We're going on strike on Wednesday, unless the government agrees to negotiate and accept discussing pay rise at the beginning of any talks for new public service deal. We've been work to rule since end of September doing no overtime, training or filling in for vacant posts. I thought government would have coughed by now, but looks like they're going to try and look strong. Reckon that will change when their constituents start complaining about kids being off school etc. Good thing to come about from all of this is loads of my younger colleagues who previously had no interest, have joined up and are now participating actively with the union. Great to see.

Cheers. I never heard of him before. I watched Welfare today and thought it was excellent. The variety of the people and the staff and how they interact was so interesting. Also amazing how much more capable people seemed to be able to converse respectfully back then for the most part, even people obviously living in desperation and on the bones of their arse.

Jaysus, I can't believe they're doing the shooty bollocks in a B feud between Reigns and Knight. It sorta makes sense (but is obviously still shit) when Punk does it. But having Knight do it is so bloody lazy. Triple H genuinely only has about 3 storyline ideas he cycles through, where his only real creativity seems to be reserved for choreographing wrestlers entrances in minute detail.
