The Modern Football Fan - What went wrong
at 07:46 23 Sep 2024

Sitting on the overground Saturday morning on the way to the Millwall game. On comes a mid twenties lad wearing a very nice Guinness home top, we nod to each other and he sits opposite. He pulls out his phone, at which point even my wife spotted the problem.
His phone had a Chelsea case with a picture of Ngolo Kante!
Now, unless there was a Chelsea fan on the platform, crying that some big Qpr boy had taken his phone off him, I am struggling to understand how this can be?

Solheim Cup just started.
I can't begin to understand how they can even take the club back standing on that first tee, let alone then make contact with the ball.

I've had a vision
at 09:20 24 Nov 2023

And it's good news.
Woke up this morning having seen the league table following next weekend.
After the next 2 games we have 4 more points.
As the league table was also showing us having dropped a position, I know that we won away to Norwich and then picked a point for drawing the next.
We must also have been playing the sexy Johann Cruyff football he keeps talking about as I had a massive hard on too!

Very Proud of Myself
at 12:44 3 Nov 2023

Just had a call from a financial adviser.
He is currently sorting out the mortgage for a Premiership footballer and wondered if we had any markets for home insurance for professional sportsmen.
'Who is it ?' I asked
'I'd prefer not to disclose that at this stage'
'Who does he play for?' was my next question
'Chelsea' he replied.
'Sorry, I can't help you, we don't want that sort of business'

Ryder Cup
at 09:18 29 Sep 2023

Already resigned to getting absolutely no work done at all today.
And with tomorrows trains strike making it difficult to get home after the game, I'm currently 50/50 on not bothering and watching the golf all day instead.
Got a mate who's gone out there and got tickets for all 3 days. Don't think I've ever been more envious of someone in life.
And we really need to introduce that Iceland Clap !

Now this is a lesson in putting a positive spin on a complete disaster.
Apparently their rocket did not explode.
What actually happened was that it suffered a rapid disassembly.
Gotta love the Americans

There goes the neighbourhood !

Apparently Gareth Bale has been looking round local schools for his 4 kids and is moving to West Byfleet.
Just got to hope none of the extended 'family' follow.
He asked to be remembered to you Ted and says hello.

Doesn't look like there will be any London Overground service tomorrow between Clapham Junction and Willesden.
See you all at Waterloo then.

Nature is Bloody Amazing
at 10:11 13 Feb 2023

By way of distraction from the football, wanted to share this with you.
Was by the back door on Sunday morning, when all the birds in the garden started screeching. Looked round to a cloud of feathers and what looked like a sparrow hawk on steroids standing over a pigeon with it's foot on its throat. On looking it up, turns out it was a Peregrine Falcon and that we have actually got a breeding project for them here in Woking. Who knew ?
The website link below gives details, history, videos and 4 live webcams including 1 of the breeding box which will hopefully get busy in about a months time.

This has become a bit like that big plane website during a storm for me, and I'm getting nothing done !
