I came across this on
The Guardian website and found it quite amusing, especially the teeth quips....

THE DIARY OF STEVE McCLAREN, AGED 55⅔
6.10am: Wake up. Start pulling my head out of my backside.
9.11am: Ah, that's better. Notice morning glory is present and correct as always. 'Ave it.
9.12am: Gaze longingly at placard on wall with stirring oratory of my hero: "Do I Not Like That". He was years ahead of his time that man. A leader.
9.13am: Brush teeth with Dulux Solid Emulsion. That smile is different class.
9.21am: Try something new for breakfast: toast and Dulux. Cereal and fruit is great but need to have as many different breakfast options as possible. Important not to get stuck in that breakfast comfort zone.
10.34am: Bored. Brush teeth.
10.55am: Give Max a ring. Can't get through.
11am: Decide to do a jigsaw. Need to take myself out of that comfort zone. Got given a rogue box with two identical pieces in the middle. The box says there's only room for one of them but what do they know? I'm gonna fit both in. More of a challenge. Important not to get stuck in that jigsaw comfort zone.
12.07pm: Give Tel a ring. Can't get through. Must be at the tanning salon.
12.08pm: Bored. Brush teeth.
12.09pm: Bored. Brush teeth.
12.41pm: Decide to put some of the old vinyl on. They reckon it works best at 45rpm but what do they know? I'm going 33rpm. Sounds a bit odd but I don't care: how many Grammys has 45rpm won us, eh? Important not to get stuck in that vinyl comfort zone.
1.20pm: Brush teeth. Bored and getting a bit lonely. Could really use a friend. Might give Massimo a call.
