It was 17:27, I had been in the car for twenty minutes and traveled less than half a mile. I was stuck in traffic in the Cressex Industrial Park, trying to get into town and to the train station. I rang Dave, he was already on a train to Wembley but his stopped at every […]

This week has kind of crept up on me, almost out of nowhere. I know I should write the standard affair, of really looking forward to Friday and Saturday evening but I have to be honest and I am quite apprehensive. On Friday, I watched Children In Need telethon on BBC1, all the way from […]
The David Jones Weekender
It is 2.38pm, as I begin writing this entry and I am going to find it difficult to put into words the events of the past three days. I know there are a stack of photos (okay, “stack” might be exaggerating it a little, quite a few) on my N73, Nikon CoolPix and bits of […]

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 […]

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 […]
