What a thrilling footie match. So foul and fair a day I have not seen. Foul weather and me watching (200 yards away on a telly in my warm living room) as a fair-weather fan. L was upstairs having a snooze as was Yoda for the first part of the first half. When Yoda woke I [...] ITV1 now. Wheeliebinfen FC playing none other than Leeds United. Come on!!!!! Whilst hanging up laundry in the back garden I’ve just been listening to the football chanting over at Wheeliebinland United on the other side of the common. “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YO DOIN’ !,YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YO DOIN’ !” Then a little later “THA’ REFAREEZA WANKA! THA’ REFAREEZA WANKA!” Don’t you just love the East Anglian accent? Well we piled into The Alex last night to watch the footie. L was delayed a bit in London but even as the rest of us nabbed some seats early, the pub was already starting to fill. The lure of a free BBQ seemed to have been a good idea. Being on my diet I, [...] On Friday night L and I went out to Wheeliebinland Labour Club to see a band. The Big Gig for Amnesty International seems to have wetted my appetite for live music and L had seen Hedgepig then and thought they were excellent. So lured by the prospect of some booze and free entry I was [...] I watched the Poland Germany match in a pub with a German friend last night. Both of us delighted to see Germany finally score in injury time. The pub was dead though. I’d have thought people would be curious at least. Eng-er-land tonight but it’s at an odd time. Last week I went home early to [...] A busy weekend. So busy I had to take yesterday off work to complete it. On Saturday I splashed out a whopping £330 for new rimless specs. My current ones have cracks like a car windscreen and will probably fail their MoT within the week. But £330! I was in a rush and all hot and [...] Well, this is the second World Cup that I’ve swallowed national pride and decided to support England. By support I mean not sneer, poke fun or laugh when they get chucked out (did that before and it didn’t go down too well). In previous years I’ve gone down to the Salisbury Arms to watch the footie [...] When I was 5 years old there were two heroes in my world: racing driver Jackie Stewart and footballer George Best. I’d come home from school and watch “Georgie on the Ball” on our grainy black and white telly before going out to the garden with my brother P for a knock about. P was [...] Mia Hara. Literally “one joy”. Greece amazed Europe by winning the European Football Championship last night. No mean feat. They slayed giants on their way: France, Czech Rep and finally Portugal. All this done with amazing defence and tremendous fitness and energy. The result seems to have taken the UK footie pundits by surprise. They all [...] |
