City of Culture

There I was at the cinema Sunday afternoon .... and on came a 2-3 minute advert for the North West. Liverpool stroke Manchester???? WTF ... I thought. Has it come to that. IT WAS EMBARRASSING ...

New Years resolutions ...

As Cooksley said obviously not.

Yep there was me planning to start doing this again, and a week later it fell by the way side. Ho hum!!! Well it's a start.

It's that time of year when all and sundry pop down the gym. Sod that I say. Wait until mid Feb. But hang on ... have you noticed how many fat people are still about? If you are lucky enough to get a seat on the train, 9 times out of 10 some fat sod will plonk themselves down next to you. Taking half your arm with them. And they are always eating !!!!!! ALWAYS ...

The smell as well ...

It's a big game tomorrow ... Blackpool. Oh I can't wait.

If you had the chance to read the Sun today, make sure you read Jon Gaunts page. It is still remarkable how people like him, James Whale and the like get the freedom to spout their shite. He put a supposed email on his page today. From some random named Lucy. Supposedly she has illustrated what is wrong with Britain today. He indicates that we should look after the Lucy's of this world and of course her hubby Gary, rather than the feral, feckless foreigners and freeloaders!!!! The email moved him to tears.

You can read it here ...

Unfortunately Lucy and Gary can't go on holiday, or go out much, buy new clothes, or have a treat.

Luckily Gary has been able to father 4 children, 2 with Lucy and 2 with his previous relationship, they can spend 50 notes on the phone and t'internet a month, as well as £70 petrol a month. Seventy notes!!!!! Where do they drive to?

Anyway as always in the Sun, Lucy blamed the government, gridlocked roads ... its OK for her to drive though, immigration, the lack of health care for fat people ... oh per-lease. Jon Gaunt reduced to tears !!!!!

Fuck off ...

Happy New Year

Any New Years resolutions?

Yep, start to do this bleedin bloggin stuff again ...

Oh I have so much to say ...

Nearly Christmas

So Southport has passed and its all down hill to Chrimbo.

Oxford Street has its lights up and it just feels a tad too early.

My tune of the day: I'm so hot - Denise LaSalle

The swing ...

AaAaAaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh

I just posted the friggin thing and had a screen error that lost everything.

Of what I can remember I asked why people barge past you then walk as if walking through treacle?

Why fat people eat so much, as well?

My tune of the day: I've got the feeling - Two tons of fun

Blimey

Neatrly two months ... I'm sure no one reads this any more ...

Ho hum

One of them days ...

Do you know that AOL = Carphone Warehouse = a bunch of tossers.

Just thought I'd keep you in the loop ...

My tune of the day: Cholly - Funkadelic

A week in showbusiness ...

Is a bleedin' long time.

At 3:45 last Saturday (two weeks ago) we were up shite creek. We could have only dreamed of what was going to happen!!!! Three second half goals, a great League Cup game, a victory over Jordans lot, whooopy dooo. Good old Toddy. Thanks for that mate.

The scaffolding has come down at work just in time for the evenings to draw in. It's getting decidedly colder. Have you noticed?

No footie for two weeks ... how good is that?

There's a few One day matches left in the cricket, but it gets dragged out somewhat.

My tune of the day: Hollywood - Rufus & Chaka Khan

Wet and warm ...

Slug Infestation

Half my gardens has been eaten by snails/ slugs. It's a nightmare. Slug pellets!!! Do they actually work?

It's actually nice weather to watch footie in. England and Germany anyone?

If only England could match the cricket team ... a resounding victory yesterday.

It's Carnival at the weekend. Dancing in the sun ... yeah right.

My tune of the day: Eric B for President - Eric B and Rakim

Commuting

It's been a while since I had a moan!!!!

Why are people generally rude when they do the commute? We are all going to and from work, is there a need to push, shove, stink, carry ruck-sacks?

This morning there were a few stinkers. You've had the weekend to take a bath, buy some clean pants, maybe some deoderant. It's not nice. There were also some shovers. We are all crammed into the trains, then you find some one, usually wearing a rucksack will push on at the last moment, then want to read their paper. You have a rucksack in your back and a paper rested on your shoulder. Happy Mondays!!!! I'm not sure why people can't be polite to each other, I tread on your foot so I'll say sorry ... it's not hard is it.

So the Addicks got beaten on Saturday. I'm not sure I like this standard of football. But maybe I'm going into this with my eyes closed.

My tune of the day: Church Lady - Dennis Ferrer

Hello

What a couple of hapy chappies!!! However I have to take umbridge at the "Catford" Kit. It's a leisure top and not a football kit. It's been designed to go with Jeans. We shouild wear a white or yellow kit. I have to admit I liked the bright Watford red away kit they wore at WOLVES. A kit should be a kit that you can see out the corner of your eye. It's a football kit remember.

My tune of the day: Father - Kenny Bobien

Football

Well it starts on Saturday ... whooooooo

Scunthorpe at home. At least it isn't away !!!!

My tune of the day: Hooked On You - Cerrone

Blog, blog ... blogging along ...

Along ...

Well it made me chuckle.

Have you noticed how many Charlton Blogs there are nowadays? Maybe you haven't because Charlton just isn't your thing, but trust me there are a shed load. Some of them have really interesting names ... like the A2 Addicks, or Voice from the West, then we have From the Hill to the Valley, Addicks Championship Diary and the original unofficial news port and still the best Al Quiet in the East Stand. However I must urge the Inspector to get off his ass and start putting some news up, as Luke Young has long gone. The thing with these blogs is that they all rehsh the same news. Diawara is going, so is Thomas, no it's Mullins who's coming and Andrew Cole.

It's quite strange but we end up with internet warriors.

There's a Trafalgar Square festival on this weekend!!!! And a Shoreditch Festival, with Har Ma Superstar. OoOhhhh can't wait.

Have you noticed how Facebook has meant people don't phone as much!!!!

Anyway it's the last free Saturday before the season starts next week. We do have a match against Braga but I think I'll go and enjoy the sun. A straw hat, and strawberry mivvi.

My tune of the day: Encore - Cheryl Lynn

 

That time of year

It's that time when I look to upgrade my phone. I was looking at the N95, but it's a big old lump. But 5 mp camera and 2GB memory, it may be the one.

Respect to Mike Reid who passed away yesterday.

The Haddocks rolled down to Jillingham on Saturday and played reasonably well. A 5-0 victory is what we want especially since the FA Cup defeat and the 0-0 down there few seasons ago. Now if we could get a combative midfielder, a 30 goal a season striker, we may be laughing.

I've been keeping up with the goings on down at Welling. A new manager, but all the players have left. It seems they are going to have it hard this season.

England have drawn level in the cricket. Quite a good effort from Vaughan and Colley.

Whoops Vaughan just out!!!!

I think I may watch Heros tonight ...

My tune of the day: Over And Over - Torrill

Thrups

The sun comes out and all the middle aged women start wearing low cut tops!!!!!

Strange ...

My tune of the day: Free Nelson Mandela - Special AKA

It's a new day

It's been a long weekend ...

Up to Blackpool on Friday afternoon for of the Fleetwood doo's. We stopped on route to help Les put the Marque up. Of course it was raining and I was in shoes. Scot was down from Glasgow with three bottles of Buckfast. Wendal and Woody were on form so we had a giggle. I am now knackered, and actually need my bed.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the boys from Brazil won the Copa. I was sure Argentina would triumph. Hey, it's a funny old game.

The cricket starts on Thursday. In the rain ... I'm sure England will win the toss and put the Indians in.

No more new signings as the squad move off to Spain ...

I need a holiday.

My tune of the day: We lift our hands - DJ Oji

The General Public

Have you noticed how often people yawn in public. I don't mean just yawn, but a full on open face yawn, with no hand over their mouth!!!!!!! This is after a night of garlic eating. It happened about three times this morning. Twice on the Gove Park line and once of the tube. Rude people.

Did I mention that the West Indies won the one day series. A lovely unexpected performance. Kevin Pieterson, the best one day player in the world?

It's the first friendly of the year tomorrow. Wellings Park View Road. It'll rain.

It's been a wet few weeks. Mainly due to the fact that I bought some garden furniture.
