I’m bloody frustrated this evening. Frustrated at myself. I was playing football this afternoon in the park with Simon, his friend Steve and a group of random people who I have never met before.
I played in my preferred position as a striker. Too many times for my liking I scuffed chances and was also denied a winning goal late on. That really, really hurt.
My performance started off below par too, although I am putting that down to dehydration as after a bottle of Lucozade mid-match, I was ready to go again. I still feel I should have done better and like any striker, whether they are playing in a park 6-a-side team or for a major European club in The Champions League, goal misses hurt, they hurt bad and the pain can only be rectified by scoring in the next match.
Ever since that game a few hours ago I have been feeling sorry for myself. It’s stupid how a silly, meaningless event thing can create negative feelings that you normally don’t allow to affect your life. Tonight I feel overworked, underpaid and undervalued in my job which I normally enjoy.
Life can be shit sometimes, but life has also taught me that unless you are Ainsley Harriot, the Worlds Happiest Man, everyone has these days. Tomorrow will be a new day and while it probably will not be fantastic, it will not be shit either and I may well have a good time and a laugh.
So, like my old science teacher used to say, (and believe me, he really did say this) “Don’t get the razor blades out just yet”.

Here’s a picture of the man himself (not my science teacher) to cheer you all up

- Ranting And Raving
There was an illegal rave in Bath last night.
Judging by the reaction of local residents on social media, this was undoubtedly the biggest event to take place here since Asterix visited the City in 50 BC.
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority have been condemning the rave, with any excitement the result of outrage and not illegal drugs...

- 4,384 Days Later…
Twelve years ago yesterday, Bath City took on Sutton United in their penultimate game of the football season.
Sutton were rock bottom of the league and had already been relegated. City knew that by beating the sorry team from Surrey, they would go a long way into securing a place in the playoffs.
It was supposed to...
- Too Posh To Wipe?
Even those Bath residents upper class enough to shop at Sainsbury's, have started wiping their own backsides.
Presumably a bidet doesn't remove ones poop as effectively as toilet tissue, and with Mabel the Maid off sick with coronavirus, Lord and Lady Muck have to wipe their own bottoms.
See... not one sheet left!

- F’ing Fireworks
Fireworks. Pretty impressive. They could even be considered beautiful. They're definitely fun!
Fun for some, maybe.
If you are a pet owner, it is terrible. If you are an animal, it must be absolutely terrifying.
Imagine living in a warzone, not knowing if a bomb is going to flatten your home, killing you and your family. I can...
