I never went to the original Wembley. It sits as one of my greatest regrets of all time, but I do not want to make this a pessimistic posting. The closest I got, was planning a trip to see England play Saudi Arabia in a friendly back in late May 1998. I was going to […]
Tuesday 13th March 2007
This post corresponds to an entry from almost exactly one year, one month and three days ago. Back then I posted some photographs from FlickR. This morning, that dream became a reality. Seems as if I have surpassed 2006 already and three months have yet to pass by in 2007.
Sunday 4th March 2007
A dull, grey wet Sunday afternoon. A complete contrast to the weather yesterday. There was a slight nip in the air but with clear blue skies and the sun in the sky, I was looking forward to the afternoon game. I left home just after quarter to 11am. I wanted to catch the 11:04 service […]
Wednesday 10th January 2007
I pondered long and hard whether to post here or over on my work log. The events take place during office hours, on business but the subject is very close to my heart as a football fan. Usually my attendance at training events is planned weeks, if not months advance, but I was asked by […]
Wednesday 3rd January 2007
I got my mobile phone out of my jean pocket, it was 18:29 precisely. I had arrived a minute ahead of schedule. Perfect. Now I just had to wait for Terry. I was outside Finsbury Park tube station. It was the first Tuesday of 2007. I was about to head to a football game. Considering […]
Monday 1st January 2007
It is 02.37am, as the first few precious hours of 2007 come and go. I should not really be on my computer but for some reason I am. Anyway, housekeeping down, 2006 archives updated. West Side Story was being shown on Sky Cinema this afternoon at 3.20pm. There was a minor “temporary fault” so the […]
The Nightmare Before Christmas
There was a different ending, in my mind at least for today. Even though I am watching The Girl Next Door on BBC One at this precise moment, I had more, much more planned for my evening. I suppose, I should start, as all my stories do, at the beginning. I got up, early for […]
Sunday 3rd December 2006
December already? The year is almost out but my weekends keep coming thick and fast. A great weekend, a wonderful weekend from all angles. I will begin with Saturday morning. I was being far to optimistic when I thought I could get up and be ready to catch the 8.20am train from the station. I […]
Sunday 26th November 2006
It is Sunday afternoon and for the first time all week I have the time to dedicate to my web site. Believe me, it has been a roller coaster week, not just with work but in my own strange world. Here I am, with so many things to write about and with little idea of […]
Sunday 5th November 2006
It is funny how one external factor can make or break a weekend. Up to Sunday lunchtime, I was enjoying my weekend, having achieved very much everything I had set out to achieve. My PC was fixed, digital television was working great. Although I prefer using Power Cinema rather than the Hauppauge software that came […]
