Strange Phenomena

As you have probably sussed by now i'm not in the slightest bit interested in the football, but I have just been proof reading 600 email addresses checking for spelling and duplications before a mail shot which seems to induce a strange Phenomena.
As my eyes were blurring over I have just called Chris to see if he wanted a friendly 18 on Sunday to which he agreed, I suggest an afterwork pint at beer o'clock (Belinda's riding tonoght). No he said, he was going to the Pelican at 5pm to watch the soccer - Soccer? at 5pm? you're leaving work early to watch soccer? - I'll be there at 4.45pm!
