Karma..

.. after bemoaning my footballing lot yesterday, I was lucky that the Virgin Media chappie arrived very much in time for me to play football, I lost count of goals – but I think I netted five in all, but most importantly two against Sanj who has proven unbeatable for me in the past when [...]

An informative televisual interview…

Can you spot the theme developing here?  Fear not, ’tis the last one – the cheeky monkeys who collated the highlights for Boots managed to sneak the bit where I ‘bunny-eared’ Des Coleman from the DVD they sent to us though, the little minxes!

God bless Arnold Hill..

Sometimes things you read in the news about your old school need no real further explanation!
A teenage schoolboy was pulled around his classroom on a lead and spanked by a stripper after a birthday surprise blunder.

The pupil’s mum had ordered an agency to give her son a “surprise” on his 16th birthday – [...]

Remember, remember…

Fireworks good!
Mushy peas and mint sauce good!
Bonfire night parties at Jim and Tam’s house good!
Playing Buzz! on the PS2 good!
Jim plying me with a mega-shot of some kind of rum concoction at the end of the evening, bad!
