Tubes' Diary
Nail-biting times
Professional performance leaves Tubes on the edge
Last updated: 01st May 2009
Me and my girlfriend went to a Mexican restaurant in Balham which was brilliant as well, although I obviously didn't have enough because I was still really hungry when we came out. Luckily there was a fish and chips shop just over the road from it, so it turned into a right food fest!

Quotes of the week
We're at the business end of the season now and the weeks are absolutely flying by.
I had a little look at my calendar this week and we've only got four shows left, and then I'm off on my summer holidays!
We don't get to take holidays during the regular football season so it's nice to have a big chunk of time off all at once.
I still haven't booked any holidays, but I'd like to go to America for a couple of weeks and I'm thinking Miami is the place to be.
There had been talk about going to Mexico but that's been put on the back burner after all this pig flu stuff!
Fajitas
I've wanted to go there for a while and I'm absolutely loving Mexican food right now. On Saturday night I had home cooked chicken fajitas and they were the nuts!
And then on Sunday me and my girlfriend went to a Mexican restaurant in Balham which was brilliant as well, although I obviously didn't have enough because I was still really hungry when we came out.
Luckily there was a fish and chips shop just over the road from it, so it turned into a right food fest!
For the first time in a while I had an alcohol free weekend as well, and I have to say I felt really good for it.
The sun was out on Sunday so I headed down to Tooting Bec Common without even the slightest hint of a hangover and had a lot of fun kicking a ball around and playing a bit of Frisbee.
Nerves
Unfortunately all my hard work was undone on Tuesday, because I had a few beers while watching Chelsea play Barcelona - for my nerves more than anything else.
It was as professional a performance as I've ever seen, but when the opposition have that much of the ball it's never easy viewing. I do think you have to play like that sometimes though, especially when the team you're up against has scored over a hundred goals already this season!
Chelsea are the only team to have stopped them from scoring at the Nou Camp this season, so we have to be happy with the 0-0, but I am really worried about them scoring at Stamford Bridge. The away goals rule definitely adds to the tension.
I've already got my ticket and I will no doubt be bricking myself from the first whistle until the last in the Matthew Harding stand... I just hope my heart can take it!
Junket
Away from football and it's been a quite week on the junkets front, but I've got a great one to look forward to next week.
Spiderman director Sam Rami is in town and I'll be going down to interview him on Monday. I'm not sure if he's a football fan, but if it goes half as well as the Hugh Jackaman junket from a couple of weeks ago I'll be a very happy man!
Later,

Tubes answers your questions
I rap fast Ashley raps slow we are the best rappers in the snow. Tubes you're a great man but what I want to know is what rhymes with orange? Rory Graham (Sunderland fan)
TUBES SAYS:Testing my lyrical flow eh Rory? Well you nearly had me, but then I remembered a place in Romania where I sometimes holiday called Florange. It's a nice place with some wonderful people.
Hi Tubes, I think you're great! I was just wondering if the track you did with Sway was coming out anytime soon?Billy Bird (Arsenal fan)
TUBES SAYS:I'm not a hundred per cent sure Billy, but I'm going to be performing it live on the very last show with Sway! It's going to be my first proper live performance so I'm pretty nervous. I just hope I don't embarrass myself... too much anyway!
Tubes!!!!!!!!!!!! If you had a million quid what would you buy? Rob Harrington (Middlesbrough fan)
TUBES SAYS:I'd buy my parents a house in America and pay for my Chelsea season ticket for the next hundred years or so! I should probably get my girlfriend something as well, so I'd probably take her out for a slap-up meal at Wimpy. They serve you your food on actual plates and everything. Now that's classy.

tubes your rhymes are so bad an' I spit lyrics like James mcfadden (kicks a ball). Tubes, your a top bloke but what I'd like to know is where did the inspiration come from with your mental hair, do you style it on someone? Ange also has long hair- who's copying who?
