Very tired. Time for bed. Thank fuck I don’t have work in the morning!
I’m off to Wembley tonight to watch England against Switzerland. Like new manager, Fabio Capello, it is my first trip to the new stadium. Unlike Mr. Capello, I will be travelling on a National Express coach. It leaves Bath just before 3pm and arrives back in the middle of the night (I’m off work tomorrow!).
Having not been to the home of football before, I do not know what to expect; besides overpriced hot dogs and chicken nuggets. I have no idea where I am sitting or what the view will be like. I still haven’t ruled out a late call up by Capello.
Finally, I am aware there is a minutes silence for the anniversary of the Munich tragedy. Many “friends” have promised to call my mobile during this silence, If you are planning on doing this, and then watching my embarrassment live on BBC1, forget it – my phone will be turned off and as silent as the fans within the ground (well, maybe not the Liverpool ones).
Tonight down at Twerton Park was the annual Bath City “Meet the Manager” evening. This is where manager, John Relish and coach Adie Brittain, give up their own free time to spend and evening with the fans, answering any questions which they may have. A highly honourable gesture and one you would not get from most other managers in the division, let alone old Red Nose at Manchester United.
For those of you who have any interest in The Romans, some of the major points raised were.
- Despite rumours of an exit, the excellent Chris Holland could well sign a new contract and play next season.
- Pacey winger and fans’ favourite, Craig Davidge, left as he wanted to start every game –something which could not be offered at City.
- Mike Green departed as he could not get into the team. If he improves, he may return.
- The club have succeeded all expectations this season, and promotion is now being considered.
- The support from the fans, especially those who travel away, was highly praised.
- The management always expected current league leaders, Lewes, to win the title. They also predict Havant to win the league next year, following their massive payday at Anfield.
Following the events at Leeds last week involving Dennis Wise, it is nice to see there is still some loyal and good people left in football. Thank you John and Adie.
Wilson is the latest addition to the IT Support Team.
Do we have too much time on our hands? Absolutely not…
Why do I live in an area where all local businesses are crap?
I was planning on spending an evening down the pub, but when I arrived, it was full off old people having what can only be described as a drunken barn dance. Following last weeks Australia Day, I am not happy.
We decided to pick up some drinks from the shops, take them back to mine and watch Match of the Day. First of all we tried the off licence. They had closed early. Then I went across the road to the grocery store, Coopers. I picked up some Bulmers which was on offer. The checkout idiot put the bottles through at the regular price, and it took 10 minutes of haggling with some slag-bag of supervisor to get the cider at the advertised price. This isn’t the first time this has happened; only last Friday an identical incident took place when buying half priced yoghurt.

So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
