    Oh yeah – my weekend…

    Spent another great weekend in London, in the company of the gorgeous Marina… Saturday she threatened me with shopping, but I thwarted her plans by suggesting a drink in The Anchor pub beside the Thames: Really nice place 🙂 and as an alternative to shopping it certainly gets my vote 😉 After a few pints in here (well, I had several pints, she had coffee and one glass of wine – basically her limit), we walked across the Millennium Bridge towards St Paul’s Cathedral – as it was getting dark, it looked exactly like this: This was the first time […]

    Close? it doesn't get any closer…

    Spurs are off to Wembley to defend the Carling Cup against Manchester Utd. – a lethargic display last night saw us almost lose out despite a 4-1 lead from the first leg. Burnley have always been my ‘second’ team – I generally look to see how they get on, and the way they’ve played in this tournament shows they have a squad that believes in themselves – I mean, they knocked out Chelsea and Arsenal in previous rounds. Full match report here. In other news, Harriett’s daughter Nat has the Sims game. She made a character that actually looks a […]

    100 things about me…

    While looking around at blogs I follow, I noticed Rik has posted the list of 99 things I’ve done/want to do. I’m working my way through that list, but it made me think and so yesterday I sat and wrote a list of 100 things about me: I was born in Huntingdon, Cambs. My middle name is John. I am left handed. I have 2 tattoos. I walk very fast. Love to eat. Drink lager. I hate liars. Enjoy recreational drugs on occasion. Support Tottenham Hotspur Football club. Love to drive. Drink black coffee. I hate cheese. I detest people […]

    Don't mention knickers (or panties)

    WordPress has a new look dashboard – I like it 🙂 And so here we are again – right at the edge of the weekend. I’m determined to get ALL my shopping to last me the rest of the year so I don’t have to deal with the sheep. Got back from testing onsite at Manchester yesterday. As ever, it was a good time – I get on well with the guy up there (Hi Martin), even if he’s a huge Man Utd. fan. Chances are now that it’ll be a Spurs v Man Utd. Carling Cup semi-final (4 teams […]

    Happy birthday Liam

    15 today…I love you son 🙂 Some people may have picked up on the fact that I’m a Spurs (that’s Tottenham Hotspur Football Club) fan, and that of late, we’ve got a new manager and REALLY started playing well – taking points off 3 of the top 4 clubs in the Premiership and last night our glorious honeymoon with ‘Arry continued with a 4-2 tonking of Liverpool in the Carling Cup. I must admit, when I first saw the line up, I thought “Ah, he doesn’t care too much about this competition – he’s saving players for the league game […]

    Breaking news…

    Result! Well, it may be too soon to say that, but it certainly feels like it to me 🙂 I’m smiling again and feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Let me explain: I gave Harriett my phone SIM card last yesterday evening, she put it in her other phone and almost straight away a text came through – I didn’t want to know what it said. Anyway, just had a call from Harriett, she told me there was another text came through during the night (about 2am – how screwy is THAT?), so Harriett rang […]

    Woohoo – Friday again

    What a week it’s been: Monday – well, Mondays are just Mondays. Tuesday – hospital appointment in the morning. They’re going to take out the plate and screws in my ankle as the screws are now working their way out (I can feel 4 of them and wearing socks/boots HURTS). Then in the afternoon I had a driving test…which I passed 🙂 I can now LEGALLY drive…Of course, the best thing that happened on Tuesday was the Carling Cup Semi Final, second leg between the mighty Spurs and the scummy arsenal – the first leg at the rubbish dump ended […]
