My upgrade cycle is a penny farthing

Fell asleep to Liverpool registering their maiden win of the season, beating Norwich City 5-2 thanks to a Suarez hat-trick. Canaries fan Stephen Fry (who's actually on the club's board of directors) would nae have been happy. Woke again for UFC on FUEL TV: Struve vs. Miocic, coverage of which - broadcast live from Nottingham - began at 3.45am on Facebook. Won't go into detail except to declare it an outstanding event and brag that my sole bet paid off nicely. That'd be Stefan Struve at $2.70 to the dollar. As usual, I was yakking to MR via FB chat/SMS throughout the show regarding techniques, strategy, fighters' careers, bad decisions and all the rest. When I'm no longer working in MMA journalism, this camraderie is something I will miss. Spent a lovely, sunny-but-mild afternoon with SC and LC that consisted of: FODI presentation "Engineer Humans To Stop Climate Change", delivered by NYU prof Matthew Liao; lunch in the Museum of Contemporary Art's rooftop restaurant (the lamb burger was yum), followed by a stroll through a chunk of the permanent collection; and a wander around The Rocks, calling in at The Hero Of Waterloo for bevvies. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. Returned to La Villa Strangiato to witness the Storm's triumph in the NRL Grand Final. Snow troll rules - goo.gl/RXMKJ
