Morning
Where has Spring gone? I feel a bit cheated by the grey start here in the usually sunny and warm oasis of Eastleigh. At least the locals are still beautiful. Off to Kingston this morning which could be dangerous, what with me just getting paid and my favourite trainer shop being there and all.
Enjoyed the England game last night. I thought they played with more freedom and less fear than usual. Good to see some fringe players put in good performances and appear to be actually bothered about playing for their country. Time to drop the likes of the spoiled Rooney and give someone who cares a go.
Have a good day all

Good day to you all. The dull weather may be my fault, sorry about that.
Didn't watch the England game last night, but I heard it was good. How can you think of dropping Rooney? Every time I watch a game he's involved in the commentators keep going on about how great he is. Obviously with me not being a qualified commentator I can't see this greatness and in my ignorance just think he's playing rubbish, and has done for a while now.
I now have one of those retro 1976 Saints tracksuit tops, it looks rather nice, and I like it a lot, I'm just not sure when I'd wear it.
Treated myself to early Adam & The Ants demos on the drive in, and Paint It Black when I got to work.
Tea now, please.

Morning beautiful people, grey and cool here too; Not a great morning, someone let slip that MrsJ might be losing her job yesterday, so it's all a bit stressy at home. Last thing I need with all the crap going on at work...but life's a bitch and then you die, I guess.  Only saw a bit of the England game last night, but what I saw was far better than the usual pampered princesses poncing about. I doubt Capello will have the balls to learn from it in a competitive match, though. I like Ghana too, Gyan and Muntari have been mainstays in my Fifa team since before the WC... Fruitnfibre with my coffee, no music as I got distracted by Capital talking about people with strange obsessions with domestic appliances (no, not in that sense), including a man who buys toasters "just for display"...I think there may be a thread in that. |

Morning.
Dull and overcast here, but not yet raining.
Well, that's Brighton completely and utterly out of reach then. The way Uddersfield and Peterboro' are going, we cannot afford to drop many points (if any!) this month.
Kingston eh? My Mum's family came from Kingston and I learned to ride a bike on the streets around the old Hawker factory. It used to be a lovely place, but is seriously scary now. I used to love going to Bentalls (which is now only a fraction of the size it was) and walking down by the river to watch all the boats. Richmond Park was only a short walk away from my nan's house and Dad and I used to go into the park to visit my Mum's cousin who was the golf pro at Richmond Park Golf Club for years. But these days it is somewhere I avoid.
Right off to work.

Morning All
England and Ghana put on a great display last night. Brilliant equaliser and well deserved for the effort the Black Stars put in. Some away support too - there were expat Ghanaians from all over Europe plus some who'd flown in from Africa to watch their team. Cracking atmosphere!
We were promised rain but have seen none - yet.
NHS are withdrawing my brother's community support. Apparently I'm it from here-on in. Never mind. We're all in it together dontcha know! If I hear the coonts say that one more time I shall have to strangle some bastard.

Morning chaps
Avoided most of the England V Ghana match last but did see about 5 minutes with Ghana almost scoring and I found myself urging them to do so... Gyan is my favourite player to watch at the moment and I'm really pleased he scored.
Music - 6Music
This place is still a bit sparsely populated need a few more of the good uglies here

You can't argue with me today, it's my birthday, so wait until tomorrow to contradict me. |

G'morning Beauts
This is my second attempt at doing a GM post - I was just about to post one earlier when the internet connection disappeared. I'd forgotten about the decorators stripping out Ms StB's study (where the router was) - so I now have the router in mine where it can stay for the time being.
Anyhoo..before I was so rudely interrupted.... Sussex(E) seems to be much like Hampshire(S), grey but dry. I had a word with my surgeon today as I was concerned that I wasn't healing as quickly as I thought I should. He told me to stop dashing hither and thither and rest - apparently 15 years ago I would have been left in hospital for a few days rest before being let loose. So I didn't tell him about going out for lunch, making bonfires etc earlier this week. I'm not the worlds best patient/recuperator. But I may have to rethink MK Dons (boo hiss) - Brizzle is set in stone though as SFC are providing a comp (in the Chapel end) and it would be churlish to refuse it FFS.
My best wishes to Spot (you shouldn't have let the NHS know about your forthcoming retirement!) and to Mrs J - didn't she go through something similar a year or so ago?
I liked the Engerland match last night - a fair result too. U16 England on Sky tonight it appears.
Enjoy your birthday, Tone; happy flying, Chris
and have a good day, y'all

Morning all. I'm knackered but my lip is getting better. I can't get into the cricket so I might fix an early lunch and start tearing rolls into tiny pieces.

G'morning Beauts and to Mrs J - didn't she go through something similar a year or so ago? and have a good day, y'all Oi, Baz, put yer feet up FFS! Thx for the concern...yeah, she was made redundant when her company went down the pan. This time she's been on temp-perm for over a year, with the coonts Nestle promising the perm bit every couple of months then postponing it...now it seems they're going back on their word and dumping her. She's now saying she can't face going to look for another job...which is all very well, but.  Last time I eat shreddies / shredded wheat / yorkie / smarties / kitkat / etc etc FFS...fooking arseholes. |

Hello all.
My brain is scrambled and my eyes are sore. And now it's wet play. The weekend cannot come soon enough. In fact, on current form, my retirement (some time in the 2050s probably) can't come soon enough.

MORNING! Am I late?
I had to go to a course on Health Promotion today. What a joke. I got told that I couldn't argue their non evidence based points as I didn't have any evidence. I may have got a bit angry at their non FACTs.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONE!!!
