It rarely happens, so I am going to make a big point of mentioning it right at the beginning of this new post. Everything came together as planned this weekend. (Even if for moments at the start it was felt far from possible) Perhaps for the first time in ages not even a miniscule detail […]

While I was struggling to find anything to write about on Friday, even to some extent on Saturday evening. I now find myself with two full days of events to report on. Let me first go back to Saturday evening. I decided to watch Star Wars – Episode IV: A New Hope on Sky. At […]

Do you like routine? I am a big fan of setting a routine and sticking with it. Therefore you can understand any changes to my routine affect me a great deal. Let me give the example of Wednesday this week. I was looking forward to the game that evening, but rather than taking the soft […]

Another new England era started on Wednesday night with a convincing performance against Greece at Old Trafford. I have been here many times before. In the past decade I have see the debut game for the following England managers. Hoddle, Keegan, Eriksson and now McClaren. I have always seen England give an improved run out, […]

Part two of the lads weekend, started badly. I woke up much later than I planned and entered up rushing around in the my room, ignoring a missed call from Chris, jumping in the shower and rushing to the train station. Not a good start, not a good start at all. After purchasing my tickets […]
Saturday 22nd July 2006
It had been a difficult night, unpleasantly hot and I had been unable to sleep. I wanted to get up earlier than I did, much earlier. It was way past 8.30am by the time I did get out of bed, but I had wanted to be getting ready and heading into town by then. Instead […]

We finally made it, even though there were doubts late into the working day. Okay it was much quieter than I expected but dealing with an issue right up to the wire, is the never the best way to end the working week. Thankfully my colleague (the only other person in the office with me […]
Tuesday 18th July 2006
To be honest, I expected it to arrive later in the week, perhaps as late as Saturday morning. So you can imagine my surprise when I came home and found the silver special delivery placed on my leather chair. I knew instantly what it was and rushed to open it up and show my Mum. […]

Superman is easily my favourite superhero. Perhaps because I saw the original movies at the right age to truly be engrossed by the Man of Steel. Even after seeing Superman Returns this evening at the Vue in Reading, I still would put Superman II as my all time favourite from the franchise, but only just. […]
Sunday 9th July 2006
Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest last night at the Vue in Oxford. As you could have predicted, the early evening screenings were sold out. Luckily my friend and I had already planned to go and watch the 9.30pm screening, so I arrived to book tickets at 7.30pm, there were plenty […]
