Under new management

September 16th, 2015 · Comments Off on Under new management · Life, Politics

At work today… Colleague: So what do you make of your new leader then? Me: Brilliant! He seems to be delivering the goods. I wanted him in charge years ago, but he was all tied up with the Croatian national team… hang on. You mean Jeremy Corbyn don’t you? I may not be the political […]

The Eurovote

October 24th, 2011 · Comments Off on The Eurovote · Politics

What a good evening it has been this evening. In the early evening Jayne and I watched Cop Out on DVD (v. amusing. Both enjoyed it, and it only cost three quid) then I listened to the end of the West Ham game on Radio Five Live Extra (One-nil to the Hammers) and rounded it […]

Dream Team

May 10th, 2010 · Comments Off on Dream Team · Life

In all the excitement of the election I totally missed this event – Tony Carr’s testimonial. Joe Cole, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand all there in West Ham colours, Di Canio and Zola on the pitch together… it must have been a great night for the fans.  A little depressing for the Hammers fans […]

Never really thought much about Katy Perry.  Heard a few of her songs and didn’t dislike them, but never really had an opinion about her. Until now. I have now decided that she is brilliant.  I wonder why…

Trevor Brooking is magic

September 10th, 2009 · Comments Off on Trevor Brooking is magic · Life

Seeing Trev in the crowd at tonight’s England game reminded me…  this is what Jayne managed to get for me when she found herself on the same ship as TB last month.  Might have to get a really huge frame to put it in.

Good omen

April 10th, 2009 · Comments Off on Good omen · Life

West Ham are away to Spurs tomorrow.  Mark Lawrenson reckons Spurs will win 2-0. Good. With Lawro’s appaling record in predicting results we should be OK.   Last week he thought Liverpool would draw with Fulham (they won), West Brom would beat Stoke (they lost), Chelsea would draw against Newcastle (they won), Spurs would draw (they […]

Bye bye Bellamy

January 19th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Life

Just a week ago I could well have read this news with some degree of despair, but after a weekend that saw the Hammers win well without Bellamy even on the bench I am a bit more sanguine about our future prospects.

The Year Of The Cat

December 31st, 2008 · 6 Comments · Life, Music

It is New Year’s Eve so I am casting my mind back over the past twelve months.  If you have a blog it is compulsory.  I think its a tradition or an old charter or something.  So looking back, the international year of the frog, or 2008 as it is better known, has been an […]

One Way Or Another

November 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life

What a scary season it is in the Premier league this year.  We are a third of the way through and for most ofthe teams it could go one way or another.  This is not one of those years wherea gap has opened up at thebottom – not since Harry moved to Spurs anyway – […]

Iron Man

November 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life

What a good week for Barack Obama: first he wins an election or something, apparently, which must have cheered him up a bit, but now he has the real prize – an invitation to visit Upton Park to watch West Ham.  Some people have all the luck don’t they?
