It looks like Bath City won’t be winning the Somerset Farmers Premier Cup this season. They lost 3-1 away to Frome Town this evening. Oh well. This is probably the only time this season I don’t actually care that City have lost.

Frome Town play at the greatly named Badgers Hill – a really nice ground in the heart of Somerset.  The clubhouse was good and the snack bar great –they sold pasties – a rarity in a football-food word of burgers and hotdogs

Bath City have always treated the Somerset Cup as a training exercise. This was obvious tonight. Frome treated it like a cup final. There was never going to be any other result. I am actually pleased for Frome. They deserved it.

Always check how many remaining minutes are on your mobile phone contract.

I didn’t. I had ran out of minutes. I didn’t realise. A 1 hour call cost me nearly £20.00.

I won’t make the same mistake twice.

Despite no injections or real pain being involved, why is a trip to the opticians always so horrible?

For what seemed like forever, some eye doctor shone lights into my eyes, asking me to read letters off the wall, while at the same time, sticking their fingers into my eyeballs. It wasn’t a pleasant experience.

I had to go, really. I had been ignoring the reminder letters from Specsavers, and over the months, the contents of the prompts changed from “Please come along for a check up” to “If you don’t book an appointment NOW, you WILL be go blind!”. Despite ignoring the letters, I will not need a Labrador anytime soon.

At least now, having gone, I can relax and not expect anymore letters (for another 12 months at least). All I need to do now is let my eyelids recover from having some crazed optician stick his fingers underneath them.

NORTHAMPTON TOWN 2-5 LEEDS UNITED

Leeds booked their place in the 2nd Round of the FA Cup in some style.

The game was on Setanta too. As I don’t get much chance to watch The Mighty Whites, it was great to see them demolish a team on live TV.

Is it too early to book a train to Wembley in May?

Bath City’s Matt Coupe and a match official try to re-create the famous Monty Python sketch…

  • About Me

    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.
