For the first time in several months, I do not know what to write in my blog. Trying to find a tangible reason for the lack of eagerness to write, I discover quite frankly that it is due to the simply fact that nothing interesting has been happening to be recently. The summer is drawing on, yet I have very little to report. Life is very monotonous at the moment, but I do not mind. The train comes down the line, I go to work, I come home. The destination is the weekend, yet before I know where I’ve been or where I am going, the train pulls up again to take me back on that journey, that is working week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Time for a small confession. Over the past week and two days weeks, I have only caught the bus to the train station four times. Who is to blame for my reason spout of laziness? Well, I have to blame the radio. Forcing myself to listen to Clive Bull on LBC<\/a>, late into the night means, I only drift into natural sleep around midnight. As a consequence, I find it extremely difficult to get up in time, to be ready for the 326 at 6.09am. Having said that, as the service is only into the bus station, I do cut a fine line to catch the first train to London, which leaves at 6.39am. Whether or not I make the train is a matter of luck? Maybe luck just has not been on my side in recent days, weeks or even months?<\/p>\n

The Olympics<\/a> started in Athens on Friday. I am not a big fan of the Games and I never have been to be quite honest. Nothing there really appeals to me and it should be a hundred percent amateur tournament, rather than having some professional events. The Olympic dream has died. A young athlete should see the Games as the highlight of a career, and the moment to bridge the gap from being an amateur, and then becoming a \nprofessional. Is my judgment unrealistic? Let Diamond Geezer<\/a> proudly Let The Games Begin<\/a>. To something slightly more important that started at the weekend also. Arsenal<\/a> began the new Barclays<\/a>Premiership<\/a> season very much as they ended the last one. For a full match report and the latest news, please go and read, the one, the only, the incredible, Arse Blog<\/a>. Make sure you let him know, I sent you! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I think may have to add a disclaimer and a health warning to my blog. This does sound rather extreme, but some of my links can be highly hazardous to your health<\/a>. Particularly, when you find a treasure, such a movie script and then waste away three hours reading it. We’ve all done it. I did the same when I discovered the original script for Back To The Future<\/a>. What a wonderful way, to waste away three hours…<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
