Tubes' Diary
In seventh heaven
The perfect gift

The most embarrassing one was probably when I messed up my rap in front of the girl from My Name Is Earl, Nadine Velazquez. I got out there, took one look at her and my mind went blank!

Quotes of the week
As Saturday's go, last week's was probably as good as it gets.
First of all we had some brilliant guests on the show and none more so than Peter Schmeichel. I was looking forward to what he'd have to say all week and I don't think anyone was disappointed.
He's achieved pretty much everything there is to in the game, but he proved what a humble guy he is when he was talking about his save which was voted the 'Save of the Decade'.
As always Brian Blessed was superb, and Gary Rhodes had some interesting stories too... but none of them could beat what happened at Stamford Bridge later that day!
My favourite game of all time was almost 13 years ago to the day when Chelsea came from two goals down at half-time to beat Liverpool 4-2 in the FA Cup. But beating Sunderland 7-2 is right up there!
If a team concedes as many goals as Sunderland did then it's usually fair to assume that that team played terribly. But I don't think that was the case this time. Chelsea just seemed to click and everything they did came off.
Like a lot of people, I thought losing the likes of Didier Drogba and Michael Essien to the Africa Cup of Nations would affect the team more than it has so far, but that again is credit to the squad that's been assembled.
Amongst all the star names grabbing the headlines I was really impressed with Juliano Belletti. He's not a regular starter, but whenever he's called upon he does a great job and anywhere on the pitch too - a proper utility man.
Chelsea was always going to be a hard act to follow so the rest of my weekend was a bit of an anticlimax! If I'm honest I can't actually remember what I did, so it couldn't have been that interesting!
Guests
But this week has been pretty good so far. We've got some great guests on the orange sofa again, including Lee Sharpe and Ray Winstone who will be making his tenth appearance on the show.
And I've also got a couple of great junkets coming up, which I can't wait for. The first one is with Steve Coogan and the other is Matt Damon! Not bad for the first junkets of the decade!
The only other news to report is that I'll be turning 28 on Saturday, which is a bit of a weird age really. When you say you're 27 you still sound relatively young, but 28 sounds proper old!
Anyway the next time I see you I will be a year older, although I'm not sure if I'll be any wiser!
Later,
Tubes

Tubes replies: The most embarrassing one was probably when I messed up my rap in front of the girl from My Name Is Earl, Nadine Velazquez. I got out there, took one look at her and my mind went blank! I didn't even attempt to give it another go, I just asked her when she wanted to go for a drink and she said 'tonight' so it worked out alright in the end!
