I’ve spent most of this evening watching the riots on BBC News, as well as following the thoughts of people though Twitter. It’s interesting how the feelings of everyone changed throughout the night. Late afternoon started with the occasional joke about hiding from the looters in Tottenham Hotspur’s trophy cabinet. Now, at the time of blogging, Twitter is awash with fury at what is taking place.
I must say, like many, I am outraged. There may be reasons for why the riots started, but the actions of those involved are totally unacceptable and have now gone far beyond what anyone can justify as “protests”
If there is any justice, all those responsible should be prosecuted and if found guilty, punished to the full extent of the law. Whatever people’s feeling towards the police, country and authority, does not excuse such mob-law behaviour.
Something needs to be done – fast. If the riots continue, members of the public will have enough and vigilante groups will form and attempt to stop the trouble by taking the law into their own hands. That’ll only make things worse.
A sad day for this country.
Bath City’s season may not start until next week, but most other teams began their campaign this weekend. On the whole, every single result of every game played was shit.
The highlight of the weekend’s football was seeing all the Manchester United fans, sat in front of advertising hoardings displaying the message “SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TEAM”.
Unless Southend United and Exeter City sell about 50,000 season tickets in the next week, that advertising campaign has failed.
Apologies for not blogging for over a week. In short, it has been too hot to blog. Now I am not well-travelled and I stopped studying geography at school when I was just 14, but I am 100% sure that Bath was definitely the hottest place in the world today – probably in the universe. It was so hot, I turned the oven on and opened the door in order to cool my flat down.
The sooner this cruel summer ends and the lush freezing winter climate returns, the better.
With the football season literally 164,700 seconds away (at the time of blogging), I thought it about time to put together my annual spreadsheet of ‘Final Table Predictions‘.
No doubt they will cause great outrage amongst many football fans, with some being far too offended by my thoughts; reacting like I had raped their pet kitten.
Please remember, these are PREDICTIONS, not what I WOULD LIKE to happen. If I had my way Manchester United and Crawley would both be relegated, with Bath City and Leeds United winning the league by Christmas. Sadly, none of these will happen.
If anyone thinks they can do better, I’ll gladly send them the spreadsheet template to complete themselves.
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.
