Blonde of the week was won by Morning, but only just.

This weekend also sees the Second anniversary of the purchase of Squirrel's brick. Heavy is good, heavy is reliable, if it works, you can always deafen them with it.

It's coming, the first birthday of Surerandomality is nearly upon us, and the date is set for Friday 31^st October, it's only two weeks away, so make sure you have those passes ready.

There are some weeks as I sort through the post bag that I wonder how some of you people manage to survive for more than a week without your tiny little minds blowing up. Talk about a pile of sh1t, and the letters you send in instantly spring to mind. I have to wonder about my staff as well, as some of the things they pass over saying "this is good" would make a blind chimp wince.

First up this week is a Debbie Heagren, from Coventry, West Midlands, who writes, "My friends and I would like people’s views on who would be victorious in a fight between 100 duck sized horses, and one horse sized duck. I am going for the team effort but I am beginning to doubt my choice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated." I really am at a loss for words for just what you people do in your spare time. What kind of demented mind comes up with such a question?

Next up is Lee Kelley, from Northampton, who (hopefully jokingly) suggests, "Now that Glenn Hoddle has been sacked by Spurs, he should reunite with Chris Waddle and revive their recording career. A re-release of diamond lights would surely be this year's Christmas number 1" You're not from this planet are you Lee. Who would really want this pair let loose on the unsuspecting public trying to sing again? Certainly not anyone in their right mind. C0ck.

Yep more letters from Johnny's, first up this week is from a Mrs Van Popple from Arnhem, Holland (or The Netherlands for those of you out there that like to be posh), who writes, "Deze zijn je vorige woorden, bijgevolg aan hen een gebed maakt. Ik geef om niet indien hij Muhammad is, die ik harde Bruce Lee ben! U kan vechters niet veranderen! Indien het aan u altijd niet werkt hem kan opdat slaan. U bent altijd gonna bezitter problemen optillende een lichaam in een stuk. Schijnbaar is het best ding te doen op een lijk in zes stukken gesneden en is opgestapeld het alle samen. ? U ooit hebt gestapt op de straat en u draait en gebeurt een auto's bijna op u iets heel vreemd. Je leven flikkert niet alvorens je ogen, co u bent ook f#ckin' bang maakte om - u te denken net vriest. ......and trekt een dom gezicht!" I don't know why I bother, I need to get a translator in, cos there will be murders.

Then we have a Guiseppe Farina, from Treviso, Italy, who rambles on as follows, "Questi sono le sue ultime parole, dunque loro fa una preghiera. Non mi preoccupo se è Muhammad sono Bruce Lee duro! Lei non può cambiare di combattenti! Se non lo lavora lo può colpire sempre con questo. Lei sono sempre il gonna ha i problemi sollevando un corpo in un pezzo. Apparentemente la cosa migliore di fare è fatto a pezzi un cadavere in sei pezzi ed ammucchia tutto insieme. Lei mai ha camminato sopra la strada, e lei gira ed un'automobile è quasi su lei? qualcosa molto strano succede. La sua vita non lampeggia prima che i suoi occhi, C.ia che lei sono troppo il f#ckin' ha spaventato per pensare - lei giusto gela. ......and tira una faccia stupida!" No people, I didn't understand a single word of what she just said, but who cares, it pads the issue out quite nicely.

Lots of suggestions for what to do for the first anniversary, but none that I can be ar5ed to print, as I can’t see me taking any of them up, though the helpful suggestion from Henry Stone, from Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, that those attending ought to get p155ed is likely to go down a treat. F#cking Muppet.

Mr Perrin, has responded to those that questioned the decision to print a letter from him about using Rex. "I've been vilified since the second issue of this publication, and I feel that I have a bond with the plight of Rex and therefore feel that I should be allowed to use the name for my own golf balls as I go on with my life. If there is anyone out there that doesn't agree, basically tough f#cking tittie." I do have sympathy with both sides of this argument, and I am currently in negotiations to see if I can't some up with something to sort the issue for once and for all.

That's it for the letters for this week, BUT there will be more next week. BUT, only if you’re lucky.

A couple of items that caught my eye this week

A woman in Battersea, England, says she was "shocked" when a thief grabbed her handbag and ran, in part because the thief was a woman, and in part because after grabbing the bag, the thief then turned around to face witnesses and pulled up her top to expose her breasts before running off. The thief was described as a brunette wearing a blue track suit with a white top. "Why she did it is anyone's idea," a police spokesman said. - Surely it's obvious, she was just showing the woman that she needed the money to but a bra.

Police investigating an accident in Raleigh, N.C., arrested driver Sougata Mukherjee, 39, on drunk driving charges after he registered 0.16 percent on a breath test -- double the legal limit. After being processed at the jail, Mukherjee's license was revoked and he was released. After returning to the scene to pick up his car, the same police officer who arrested him the first time pulled him over again. This time the breath test registered .11 percent, still well over the limit, and Mukherjee was arrested again, charged with both drunk driving and driving with a revoked license. "It was absolutely terrible," Mukherjee said later. "This is the first time something like this has happened to me." - I think we have a winner, for the person who is never going to be Mr. Current Affairs, and for dedication to duty in the field of drinking.

The Friday was going to be a quiet night, and certainly Hopalong and The Chemist were sticking to the plan. G Man was out to see Athlete at the Academy with Amanda and her housemates, and they had mentioned 5th Ave as a final destination, so this had aroused the sense of drinking in Squirrel and after a few at Chez Didsbury he went and met Wes in the Garrett, for a drink before hitting 5th Ave. Pretty soon G Man, Amanda and her housemates arrived, which allowed Squirrel to apologise for his drink throwing of a couple of weeks prior. You never quite believe just where the time goes, and pretty soon it was 3 in the morning, and everyone had got separated and wandered off home. Squirrel bumped into Wes at the bus stop and though there was talk of curry they headed home.

Saturday saw Hopalong, G Man and Amanda in the Olde C0ck Inn fairly early on to bag the best seats in the house. They were joined by Squirrel, who bought an emergency change of clothing for G Man, who had unwittingly come out wearing a T-shirt that looked suspiciously like it was written in Turkish. As the afternoon continued, then so did the arrivals. Dancing made it just after 3, and was soon followed by Ricky Organ, The Chemist, Zac and Turkish. Lots of beers and England qualification for the European championships followed, before the decision to move on was taken. Next stop was the Famous Crown, where matt and others joined the crowd. G Man and Amanda deserted to go for a curry, and on leaving Hopalong went home, whereas everyone else headed to the Hogshead, where shooters, aftershock, and whiskeys did Squirrels mental health no good at all, and he headed off to XS. Everyone else went for a curry, before wandering back to their homes or Chez Didsbury. Squirrel reverted to his traditional round of drinks in XS, of Stella, Reef and Tequila, before hitting Abduls on the way home, where he actually managed to make bed, probably due to the fact that Zac was crashed on the sofa.

Sunday saw Amanda leaving early to go to work. Squirrel surfaced just as Hopalong and The Chemist were visiting burger king for themselves, Ricky Organ and Zac. G Man surfaced mid afternoon, and went to the driving range with Ricky Organ. Gemma came round and hibernated with Hopalong in his room all afternoon. Pizza hut was ordered, though not finished, and sport was watched all day, with the rugby world cup, snooker, F1, football, American football and baseball watched before the last of the residents had crawled to bed.

Monday saw very little motion in the house with what appeared to be illnesses creeping in everywhere, and true to form Tuesday saw G Man off with flu type symptoms (and just after finishing his probation period), and Hopalong coming home from work at dinner as well with the same symptoms. Both were off on Wednesday as well, and whether they made it to work on Thursday is under debate as well. This meant that neither of them were fit enough for 5 a side football, though the Chemist managed to make it after Tae Kwon do the previous night, and that Squirrel made it despite the continued attempt to cough part of a lung up. After the football it was the normal loafing in front of the telly talking crap.

He looked around to see if he could see where either of the women he wanted to talk to were. He noticed them on the other side of the lounge sat on benches opposite each other, and they appeared to be just staring at each other. He walked across the room to where they were sat and stood so he was between them but not blocking their view of each other. He looked from one to the other, and it looked as if they were both in a trance. They were looking in each other's direction, but he didn't think that they were actually looking at each other, it was as if they were looking through each other to some distant point far behind them.

He took a step forward so that he was stood between them, and still their gaze didn't change focus. It was as if they had both retreated into their own little worlds, deep down within themselves, and nothing around them mattered. He stepped back to come out of their direct sight line, and took the opportunity to look around at everyone else. As he scanned the room, he could see that nearly everyone was in the same kind of state, just being still, and staring into space. In fact as he looked around he could see that the only movement came from the hijacker's team, as they slowly circulated the room, and exchanged the odd word.

He cleared his throat, and said "Excuse me". Neither of the two women even so much as blinked. Somewhat disconcerted, he tried again, only this time both a little louder and in a sterner tone, "Excuse me".

This time, the woman who was the double of Claire blinked, and automatically responded. "Sorry, I was miles away." She looked up at him, and recognition spread over her face. "Oh, it's you!"

"You!", someone from behind him shouted, "Be quiet, there is to be no conversing between the hostages until we reach our final destination. There will be plenty of time for talking once you are there."

He looked over his shoulder and wasn't even surprised to see that it was the hijacker that had been in control on his plane. He shook his head and moved to sit down next to the woman. Just as he sat down he heard the voice again.

"No, it's not a good idea for you to sit there, I wouldn't want you to have the temptation of talking so close to you with your track record."

Again he shook his head and made a show a wearily getting to his feet, before asking "Is there anywhere you'd prefer me to sit or stand? Perhaps you've got a deaf mute somewhere that you could put me next to?"

The Chemist - You're Idle!!!!! (How the Chemist can possible say that about anyone else just beggars believe)

A middle aged woman is at home, merrily jumping up and down on the bed and squealing with delight. Her husband arrives home from work, walks in and is astounded by what he sees. "Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look," he shouts, "what the hell's the matter with you?" "I just came from the doctor," replies his wife, "he said I have the breasts of an 18 year old!" "oh really," says her husband, "and what did he say about your 40 year old ar5e?" "Strangely enough," replies his wife, "your name never came up."

A teenage girl confesses to her mother that she's missed her period for two months running. They immediately purchase a home pregnancy test, and the result's confirmed. She's up the duff. "bring me the pig who did this to you!" screams her incandescent mother, "I want to see him now!" The girl quickly makes a phone call to her lover, and half an hour later a gleaming, brand new Ferrari pulls up outside the house. Out steps a mature and distinguished gentleman, handsome and impeccably dressed. He enters the house and sits down in the living room with the father, mother and girl. "Good afternoon", he politely greets the family, "you daughter has informed me of the situation. I am unable to marry her due to my personal family circumstances, but rest assured, I'll take full responsibility. If a girl is born, I'll bequeath her three of my shops, two townhouses, a beach house and a £1m bank account. If it's a boy, my legacy will be two factories, and a £2m bank account. If it's twins, a single factory and £500,000 each. However if there's a miscarriage…."

Two old friends were just about to tee off at the first hole of their local golf course when a chap carrying a golf bag called out to them, "Do you mind if I join you? My partner didn't turn up." "Sure," they said, "You're welcome." So they started playing and enjoyed the game and the company of the newcomer. Part way around the course, one of the friends asked the newcomer, "What do you do for a living?" "I'm a hit man," was the reply. "You're joking!" was the response. "No, I'm not," he said, reaching into his golf bag, and pulling out a beautiful Martini sniper's rifle with a large telescopic sight. "Here are my tools." "That's a beautiful telescopic sight," said the other friend, "Can I take a look? I think I might be able to see my house from here." So he picked up the rifle and looked through the sight in the direction of his house. "Yeah, I can see my house all right. This sight is fantastic. I can see right in the window." "Wow, I can see my wife in the bedroom. Ha Ha, I can see she's naked! What's that? Wait a minute, that's my neighbour in there with her.......He's naked as well! The b1tch!" He turned to the hitman, "How much do you charge for a hit?" "I do a flat rate, for you, one thousand dollars every time I pull the trigger." "Can you do two for me now?" "Sure, what do you want?" "First, shoot my wife, she's always been mouthy, so shoot her in the mouth. Then the neighbour, he's a mate of mine, a bit of a lad, so just shoot his d1ck off to teach him a lesson." The hitman took the rifle and took aim, standing perfectly still for a few minutes. "Are you going to do it or not?" said the friend impatiently. "Just wait a moment, be patient," said the hitman calmly, "I think I can save you a grand here....."

After a couple of mad weekends, this weekend should see some kind of sanity return. As far as this reporter is aware there is nothing planned for the weekend, well there is a world famous quite drink being mentioned, with Squirrel due to meet Kate for a drink early on, and then Tessa later on. Now this is normally a prerequisite for things to get very messy, but he claims that, this time he does mean it. Premiership action returns to our screens, which will see the normal Saturday afternoon betting and swearing frenzy. Doubtless someone will go out and do something newsworthy, but I'm not going to hold my breath. See y'all next week.

Despite been a busy little bastard elsewhere, I have managed to update the table, and this is the table as it stands before any transfers take effect.

Squirrel - Powerless to stem the flow of goals against some excellent predatory striking; a more commanding performance in the second-half. 6

The Chemist - Demoralised by the lack of commitment and ability shown by his comrades. Will do better when the full squad is available. 7

Boots - Conversion of some good chances late-on would have atoned for a forgettable first half. 6

D1ckie Boy - Lacked fitness and tactical sense on his debut, but should improve with experience. 5

Owen - Frequently caught in possession, but battled on in difficult circumstances. 6

Chris - Struggled to stay on his feet on the slippery surface, but was at the heart of many of the team’s chances. 7

Dancing - Bagged a brace to open his account for the season, a solid all-round performance. 7 SURERANDOMALITY STARMAN

Ricky Organ - Exposed at the back early on, some promising moves in the second half. 6

Goal scoring charts. The Chemist and Nez lead the way on 3. Dancing moves up to third with his brace, and the only other scorer is Ricky Organ, who has a measly 1 to his credit.

The name of Ratae Coritanorum (or Corieltauvorum as is now thought to be more likely) was given to Leicester by the Roman invaders when they came to the Ancient Briton settlement just after 43AD. It is believed that a fort was constructed upon settlement by the Romans, but it’s location is a mystery as no remains have been found, however a later military installation has been indicated at a crossing point to the river, probably from the period 85-95AD.

Early in the 2^nd Century the grid like street pattern of the Roman town was laid out, and it was this grid pattern that was to form much of the basis for the towns streets for the next 1500 years. Remains of buildings from this period have being discovered. The main example being the Jewry Wall site, just to the west of the current city centre, and not very far from the east bank of the river. The wall that still exists at the east of the site next to St. Nicholas’ Church is the largest remaining Roman wall in Britain. The site also included the Forum and Basilica, and the public baths, and would have been the local government buildings of the day, and the local shopping centre and market.

However such was the commercial prosperity of the town that by the end of the 2^nd Century a new separate market place was required, and was built just to the north of the site (where Holy Bones is now). The remains of a Roman temple are said to have been found on the site of the current Leicester Cathedral St. Martin's. There were also a great number of family dwellings and it is at this time that at least one family moved and built a house on the west side of the river (the first known occurrence of this) that is known as the Norfolk Street Villa. It was at this time and continuing into the 3^rd Century that the town was provided with defences. The defences consisted of an earthen bank, with a stone wall and ditch. There were 4 main gates (set virtually at North , East, South, and West) and it is likely that there were numerous interval towers. The gates to the Roman town stood as follows. (Present day locations given)

North Gate - Junction between Highcross Street, Great Central Street, Northgates, Sanvey Gate, and Soar Lane.

East Gate - Between the main entrance to the Shires and Cheapside across what is now Eastgates.

South Gate - Millstone Lane between Wycliffe Street and Marble Street.

West Gates - Stood on the Town side of what is now West Bridge. (but was then just a ford across the river)

After this time there is very little new information as to the history during the Roman times, and it is clear that after the Romans left the town as was fell into disrepair, and much of the very good infrastructure was lost.

However there are still examples of the Roman legacy in and around Leicester. To the south of the city by the side of the Aylestone road there is the Raw Dykes earthwork which was part of the Roman irrigation works. There is also an example of Roman mosaic on the wall outside the Alliance & Leicester building on Market Place South. There are many main Roman roads that go through the county. The Fosse Way which linked Lincoln to Exeter, and still shows that the Romans knew how to build straight roads as it is now used by the A46 to the north of the city (which was an ancient trackway that the Romans improved) and the B4114 to the south. This met up with the ancient Salt Way at Six Hills, and the Romans again improved this road to the east of Six Hills, which left the county through the Vale of Belvoir. To the south the Fosse Way left the county at Venonis (High Cross) which is where it crossed another Roman road, Watling Street, which linked London to Chester, and is now used by the A5, and for most of it’s route through Leicestershire forms the county border. Furthermore there was another (unnamed) road which goes out to the South West of the county at Manduessedum (Mancetter) at the point it crossed Watling Street. Then there was the Gartree road which linked Leicester to Colchester, and left Leicestershire just after going through the settlement of Medbourne. Another (unnamed) came into Medbourne from the east and linked up to another Roman Road - Ermine Street, it is thought that his road may have continued on through Medbourne and out to a burial site at Smeeton Westerby. Ermine Street itself forms the north east border of the county, and was adapted from the ancient Sewstern Lane. It can be seen from this that the Romans have helped to shape the county, and it’s borders. Further proof of this is that the other two major settlements are on or just over the county borders. To the north on the Fosse Way stood Vernemetum (Willoughby), and at virtually the most southernly part of the county on Watling Street stood Tripontium (Caves Inn).

Besides the Major settlements mentioned above, and the Norfolk Street Villas mentioned previously the remains of Roman villas have been found at, West Langton, Hamilton, Syston, Rothley and Lockington. Substantial building works have been found at Sapcote, Drayton and just north of Lockington. Pottery Kilns were found at Desford and Shilton Heath (Earl Shilton). There have been numerous burial sites found in the county at Wymeswold, Eaton, Waltham on the wolds, Saxby, Owston, East Norton, Kings Norton, Thurnby, Humberstone, Queniborough, Oadby, Burton Overy, Great Bowden, Smeeton Westerby, Stony Stanton, Elmsethorpe, Rothley, Barrow, Sileby, and at Dane Hills in Leicester.

There have also been various miscellaneous finds at Market Bosworth, Desford, Barwell, Hinckley, Bittesby, Kibworth Harcourt, Great Glen, Glen Parva, Wymondham, Goadby Marwood, Knipton, Wanlip, and at Thurmaston, where in a quarry pit was found Hadrians Stone, which was made to commemorate the visit of Emperor Hadrian to Leicester in approx AD110, and is now on show at the Jewry Wall museum.

It can be seen from all of this that the Roman occupation of the county was large and widespread, and that they considered it to be an important part of their empire in Britain.

Here’s this week’s random review

Pop video time again. Just released as a single this week, is the offering from the latest artist on the Shady record label, Obie Trice, with his amusing track Gotta have teeth. A quite funny video, with a whole entourage of "guest appearances", as to be expected from anything involving Eminem. The music is good and it's quite a laid back track. Go and buy it today.

First the answer from last week. The correct answer is that 50 Cent is on the Shady record label. The winner was a Marshall Young from Leeds, who wins the In Da Club CD single.

For this week’s competition, all I want to know is, In which state is Area 51? Answers to the normal addresses through the normal channels, and the first correct answer drawn out of the Surerandomality hat next Wednesday afternoon, an x-file video.

TOTAL = 23

CUMMILATIVE TOTAL = 805

Saturday saw a lot of people who weren’t very with it, even after a fry up. Ricky Organ’s sister and mate arrived just after midday and along with G Man headed to town, where they spent the afternoon in Waxy O’Connor’s in the very comfortable armchairs. Meanwhile Hopalong was tidying the house and Squirrel was preparing food for the housewarming party that evening. Bruce arrived just after six, and the others got back from town, just in time to settle down for the Slovakia Vs England qualifier. After the game some people started turning up, with a number of people from Ricky Organ’s work, Becky, Little Becky (yes different people), and two of the new next door neighbours, Tessa and Benji. Food was thrown, drink was drunk and from about one people started heading home. Then the spirit drinking started in force, Benji and Tessa went home about three, only for Benji to reappear an hour later. Sensible people started going to bed, which left Bruce (cos he had no choice), Squirrel, Becky, G Man and Benji up drinking. Bruce attempted to go to sleep at five, and G Man went to bed, Benji went home, but Squirrel and Becky continued drinking til 6 before going and crashing out.

Sunday saw slow movement, from everyone. Squirrel and Becky found and finished all the dregs from the punch, and then Squirrel, G Man and Ricky Organ went into town for the first ever instalment of p155ed shopping. Squirrel was somewhat confused by a text message from H (no not the one from steps) saying that he’d just seen Morrissey, and was in a club dancing to the Jam. It took some considerable time for him to remember that H was in Australia at the time. The evening saw Bruce, G Man, Hopalong and Ricky Organ having a Fifa tournament. Squirrel went to see how the neighbours were and found that Benji had been puking all day, and couldn’t face food, and that Tessa had only just surfaced, and was coming round for food.

Monday saw the madness continuing, with a couple of people that G Man had met travelling, Brendan and his mate, coming over to Manchester. A couple of beers at home, then to the Dog and Partridge, then another Squirrels visit, before a journey into town, which gave Squirrel a chance to give Jacqui abuse when she tried to say hello on the bus. Brannigan’s was the first destination in town, before crossing the road to infinity, where there was a foam party. Kicking out time saw a taxi back to Chez Didsbury where Hopalong was still up, and willing to join in the drinking that carried on until the following morning. G Man, showing courage above the call of duty went into work after an hour’s sleep, and while still p155ed. Squirrel went to bed just after nine for a few hours sleep before the start of his working week.

Definitely one of the longest, messiest, but altogether tip top weekends.
