Bath City beat Clevedon Town and progress to the next round of the FA Cup. I had the pleasure of filming the match.

Leeds beat Hereford and move even closer to promotion to The Championship.

Newcastle lost to Blackburn and move even closer to relegation to The Championship.

I know it may be a little sick to laugh at the plight of The Toon Army, but as a Leeds fan, having to put up with taunts from every other supporter in the country, it amuses me.

Up until now, I thought Leeds United were the most farcical club in football history (and that includes the fictional club, Harchester United). Newcastle have now proved me wrong.

Bath City today start their FA Cup campaign and the long road to the final at Wembley.

Along the way they will come across the the giants of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United City. They must, however, start the competition with a game against the European superpowers, Clevedon Town.

You never know, we may be seeing these scenes in May…

Nearly 30 members of the IT department have taken part in a syndicate for the £100m Euromillions tonight. If we do win the jackpot, it will be interesting to see how much computer support is available on Monday morning, seeing as 28 resignations will have been handed in.

Apparently, the odds of winning the jackpot are 76,275,360/1, but seeing as we have 28 tickets, its cut down to 2,724,120/1 (unless my maths is very wrong!)

My own team also do a weekly syndicate for the National Lottery. The odds of winning that AND the Euros are 3,813,768,000,000/1 – a number so high, I don’t even know how to say it (although it probably involves trillions). Even so, I think we have every chance.

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has received an offer to buy the Club from a Nigerian source.
He received an email which read:

"Dear Friend,
My late husband was foreigh minister of nigeria, and on his death he deposited USD15,000,000 in a bank account. In order to recover this money I need to deposit these funds for a short time in a europen bank account. Please send me your bank account details as you are a kind man….!"

I’m off to bed in a minute. I’m hoping I will have a better nights sleep than yesterday.

Last night, Dennis Wise (my hamster, not the manager/odd-job man at Newcastle United) decided he would redecorate his cage. This involved destroying his mini-house, tearing apart the newspaper on his floor and kicking food, sawdust and shit everywhere.

All this went on at 2am and greatly disturbed my sleep. It’s hard to see how such a small animal can make so much noise, but he most certainly did!

Right now, my feelings towards Dennis Wise (the hamster) are similar to those of the Newcastle United fans’ thoughts on Dennis’ namesake… I don’t like him very much.

    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.
