… going on about the weather!
Is it summer next month? The typical calendar suggests so. I think it’s been cold. OK, it wasn’t time to dig out the second duvet and dust off the hot water bottle, but I did go to bed in my hoody. Global warming – what global warming? Saying all this, it did get a bit hotter today and apparently the weather is meant to be good this weekend. I guess someone sprayed a few CFCs this morning.
Congratulations to both Ebbsfleet United and AFC Telford who today won their division’s Play Off Finals and will play Bath City next season in the National Conference. That’ll be two new grounds for me to visit.
I think I have new neighbours. Well, either that or my existing ones have a new HiFi with extra loud speakers. Last night, while John and Simon visited, we were treated to an evening of Musical Hits of the 90’s, courtesy of a nearby resident and their sound waves penetrating the walls. Being a fan of most of the songs being played, I did not object. In fact, it saved me having to find music to play myself.
What I did have a problem with is the music carried on and on and on, even after my friends had left. To make matters worse, the classic records of the 90’s stopped and were replaced by what sounded like a karaoke session of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – over and over again.
As I lay in my bed at 2am, I felt like Victor Meldrew in that episode of One Foot in the Grave, where a nearby party enraged him by playing The Laughing Policeman in the early hours.
Luckily, by 3am the music had stopped. That didn’t prevent me from feeling very tired all Sunday from lack of sleep.
If the same happens again, I will have no choice but to alert the US Military and inform them that an Osama Bin Laden lookalike has been spotted in my neighbour’s property and all residents must be destroyed.
Now, I must go to sleep. Hopefully there will be no more illegal raves tonight. If there are, I know who to ask for help.
This is what it must feel like to have fleas… I had my haircut this morning. As a result, lots if hairs have fallen down the back of my T-Shirt and are causing me to feel very itchy. I could change my shirt, I suppose.
I’ve been a lazy blogger recently, despite having two 4-day weekends in succession. I’ve been using Twitter too much – something I promised myself I would never use as an alternative to blogging. I must not make a habit of it. Anyway, here is a collection of my recent thoughts. I hope to provide an update again soon and not leave you all in suspense for another week.
WEDDING FEVER
I didn’t watch the wedding. I am not one of these people who will cover my house in flags and spray paint the cat in the colours of the Union Jack all in the name of the monarchy. I did appreciate the day off though, which was spent mostly watching TV.
Instead of witnessing two public school graduates tying the knot, I entertained myself with some sophisticated and intellectual television. Mainly, Three In A Bed, Family Guy and Hot Fuzz.
TAKING THE BIN OUT
I awoke this morning to the news that Osama Bin Liner had been killed. I was in bed at the time of learning this news. I knew it must have been true, as Twitter had exploded.
Well, we’re told he’s dead. We haven’t actually seen any photos or videos of a body. We just have the word of all the nice news reporters that he’s sleeping with the fishes. Maybe he’ll turn up in a few years time, like Harold Bishop did on Neighbours.
In typical fashion, the sick jokes started coming out, even before the brains had finished draining from the bullet-ridden skull of the teorrist. My favourite joke being one which indicated Osama had entered his location details into the recently hacked PlayStation Network.
Everyone seems to be claiming the world is now a safer place. I hope they’re right. Personally, I worry that this will cause a major storm in the terrorist world. That said, I don’t know what else could be done. He had to be stopped and it wouldn’t have been possible to capture him and keep him imprisoned, without causing even more problems.
END OF THE SEASON
The football season is over. Well, for most fans (I know there are many more games to play in the Premier League). Bath City rounded off a superb year with a 2-0 win over Mansfield to finish 10th in the league. This is a marvellous achievement for their first season in the National Conference, especially as they were one of just three part time teams – the other two were relegated.
So, as with previous years, here are the stats for this season…
This season I have…
Seen 61 games of football – 56 for Bath City (plus 2 for Bath City Youth)
173 goals
and travelled over 8,400 miles – that’s more than to New York and back.
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.
