Every two years your average football fan goes stir crazy/cold turkey. Even the most level headed amongst us, find ourselves either going slightly mad, or sending our nearest and dearest mad in the process. Yep, when the year ends in an odd number, we look to fill our waking hours with something, anything to keep…… Continue reading Dodging The Tumble weeds in Search Of Scraps.
25/26/5/19 Thirsty Magpie Beer Festival, He Drinks A Bitter Drink, He Drinks A Cider Drink
I know I tend to give anything technology wise, a wide berth, but I have to admit, it’s got its benefits. Otherwise, thanks to Dave, I wouldn’t have found out about the beer festival. Fleetingly, I’d hoped to pack a lot more into the weekend, but due to a whole raft of reasons, (Some of…… Continue reading 25/26/5/19 Thirsty Magpie Beer Festival, He Drinks A Bitter Drink, He Drinks A Cider Drink
A Bit Collate, But Not Forgotten.
Another season came and went. I’m not working in the same job, or even at the same place that I was at the start of it.

12/5/19 Chorley v Spennymoor Town, National League North Playoff Final, Penalty Clause.

Not Quite.
4/5/19 Charlton Athletic v Rochdale, Surrounded By Pigs.
After Val’s full English, we got the 350 bus to close to Heathrow to meet hubby John, unfortunately there’d been a miscommunication, where we’d gone to meet him, wasn’t where we were supposed to be, and by the time this was ascertained, it was too late to make the trip up to Shropshire for the…… Continue reading 4/5/19 Charlton Athletic v Rochdale, Surrounded By Pigs.
28/4/19 Blues women v Liverpool Women, Women’s Super League, Blue and White.
I’d given myself 3 choices for my last day of freedom before having to drag myself back to the wind and grind of work, Worcestershire v Warwickshire in the Royal London cup, the remnants of storm Hannah already putting me off the thought of sitting in the cold, watching cricket, for that one, Coventry v…… Continue reading 28/4/19 Blues women v Liverpool Women, Women’s Super League, Blue and White.
