Not really but the story is so odd that I had to mention it. I'm really going to see some friends before they have a baby and become so unutterably dull that I'd rather give myself a Listerine enema that see them again.

Same as usual. Fuck all.

Which reminds me, it's an open invite - if anyone wants to come just shout.

shopping >:(

man flu

Staying in more than likely to rest my foot.

monging about trying not to spend money

Supposed to be going round someone's to watch a film in the evening, although I have a felling I will get stitched. If so I may just do somethng different and go out drinking  ;D

Same as,Im finding making home made lemsip's is helping a lot tho.

scouting

Ging gang goolie?

...checking out new players for my sunday side BR.No woggles involved!

You always get stitched.

Who do you manage adje?!

Thanks man.

i'd never stitch you si xx

Thanks man x

The mighty Aldington FC-Ashford and District Sunday league Div 3(Cup Holders) no less!(very grass roots)

Now that sounds like a good call

Working tomorrow morning.  (Year end...fellow accountants will understand.)

My wife and son are still away at the in laws for extended Christmas break, so I'm not happy about the rearrangement of the Millwall game.  I could have left work and been at the New Den in 45 mins probably.

So instead it will be back home when I'm finished in the office.  Farnborough FC are away tomorrow and Farnborough RFC don't have a game - so I think I'm going to try out a new running route along the Basingstoke canal from Frimley Green to Brookwood.

Gutted we're not playing as I have a very rare Saturday off... I might take in a game somewhere, here are some options....

Ashington v Consett
Billingham Synthonia v Ryton
Chester-Le-Street v Northallerton Town
Seaham Red Star v Newcastle Benfield
Ashington v Consett
Bedlington Terriers v Billingham Town
Bishop Auckland v Dunston Federation
Shildon v Morpeth Town
South Shields v Whitley Bay
Spennymoor Town v West Allotment Celtic
Sunderland Nissan v Penrith
Tow Law Town v West Auckland Town
Darlington v Bournemouth
Sunderland v Bolton
Hartlepool v Stoke

Working a short shift from 10-4, going home, then going back to Swindon for a meal at Cosmos. Would rather have stayed in and watched some footy to be honest, but I suppose I'll be making a profit!

 I wouldn't bother with any of the last three.

 Ashington v Consett would be my pick.

 Peter Noble came from Consett...as a youth in the 60's I met him quite a few times, and couldn't understand a word he said.

Working as usual.on a saturday.If i beat the man flu that is.

To be honest if i don't go to work all it'll mean is staying in watching a video of the enitre 1990 Le Mans race that joy of joy my other half rescued from his parents over x-mas.

Choices choices  :D

I was going to spend the day in the library, but its closed (stupid gay library). So I'll be at home working on various essays.

Home, dossing.

Ashington was my first choice, hence why it was was top of my list (and one there twice too).

Walk the dog x 3. Rock and roll.

Pub.

Sir Dans at 1pm if anyone fancies a pint.

ill try my best mate

What type of dog have you got?

Going to watch Sutton Utd V Tooting and Mitcham.

Type pennys zodiac in the top right hand corner of this website - www.actionshotsonline.co.uk/actionshots2/ think there's three pics on there fella.

In the morning I'm cleareing out the loft, woooooop. Then in the evening going to the ice hockey. Should be good! What are yoy planning to do mr tuck?

Hopefully pop along to Eastbourne Boro - Oxford if I can persuade anyone to come with

Pub all day.

Hearts v Peg Sellers on Setanta in a bit.

dont you mean, casual racists v disadvantged due to years of repression on setanta in a bit

Going to Chelski vs Sarfend.

Celtic aren't playing. Methinks you are mistaken.

Waxing

Decided to have a drive up to Scotland.

Where you off to Rich, The Borders?  Edinburgh?

Just make sure you don't come back any earlier than mid afternoon.  I drove home from Argyll on Monday - 450 mile drive that took 9½ hours.  Not a cloud in the sky (like today) and, being mid-winter, the sun was low in the south.  7+ hours of squinting in to the sun starts to get on your nerves after a while.

I used to hate driving back down the A1(m) and M1 in the winter, barely being able to see the cars in front of you because of the low sun wasn't nice.  I share your pain Ossie.

I didn't go to scotland in the end. Would've gone Jedburgh way if we did. Instead we hit Hadrian's Wall. Brilliant, I love it.

that looks awesome rich.
just got back from weston super mud.was lovely in the crisp winter sun,and pretty much chav free compared to the summer invasion of the place.

Rich I'm well jealous i absolutely love that part of the country, to have that there, literally on your doorstep, is a blessing.

Jedburgh's nice too, my family come from a village just 10 mins up the road from there, Lilliesleaf.  Beautiful part of the British Isles.

Your day certainly trumps my day out in Leekes, Melksham.

I went shopping, spent too much money and am off to the pub later.

It was great, cold but not as windy as it was last time we ventured to the Wall. We had not done that part before, walked about 3 or 4 miles before we realised that we should go back to the car.

Been to the abbey ruins in Jedburgh a couple of times - good stuff.

Oh and that part of Hadrian's Wall faced two hamlets both with great names - Once Brewed and the other? Yep, Twice Brewed!

I went to the pub, got semi-pissed, now I'm listening to music quite loudly.

What part of the wall is that then Rich, is it Hexham way? 

Nearish the Housesteads on the way to Haltwhistle. We parked at the Once Brewed tourist information site.

 Rich...that looks like the wall atop of The Great Whin Sill.

 I went up there one wet and windy November... near froze my balls off.

Right have to remember that, my Mrs wants to see the wall next time we go up to Scotland so know I know a good bit to show her!!!

Yeah, that's where we were (I'm pretty sure) - My missus is sciencey, she has a great ol' time.

It was abit cold, but perfect for such a walk.

Those pic's are simply stunning Rich.

I have a very critical eye when it comes to photos - something that comes from being an enthusiastic amateur shooter I guess - but those shots are really very good. Sky's blown out a bit on 2,3 and 4, but other than that, makes me want to visit. Better than watching footie eh........

I'm no photographer nor do I pretend to be. Just taking snaps. I was there for the history :)

EDIT: They are better than Scot Munroe's holiday pictures though  8)

I remember those, absolutely fucking shocking......

Did supermarine play btw

frozen pitch so off donny baby.
and the reminder of those munroe picks just made me laugh out loud

Those pictures are really very good...one of the few places i want to see...been to Newcastle and Carlisle with work and next time ime in the areas those pictures have persuaded me to make an effort and see some of that wall.

Cheers arriba. Must admit those photo's do look shit hot

I've always wanted to go to Berwick / Alnwick etc and walsk along Hadrians' wall. Those photos make me more determined. Hadrian was a visionary - he jusr needed to build it higher.

i did what i said i would, go to the gym, then just been mooching around, decided not to go out 2night and im bored now

well i went to the ice hockey, swindon got beat 10-0, the defence was shocking. might be going after the football next saturday too... if its like that again tho and Town play shite i could end up hanging myself tho :P

I went to play snooker (got a break of 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then packed my bags and went out into town for a giggle and bevergae. Its far shiter than i remembered. Sad face.

Euuugh. I was raped last night. I am not even joking.

Happy new year kids.

 I 've done a few bits of HW at both ends and in the middle...there is now an LDP which nominally does the whole thing...don't know too much about it though.

 I'm more of a Wansdyke man myself....did a long Wansdyke walk a few years back about this time of year in some very windy sleety stuff, my mate seriously reckoned at the end of it he was suffering from hypothermia  :)

Do what fella? Care to explain?

10-0? But the team they were playing (i forget who!) are meant to be rubbish.

I'm going next week, should be tasty - Aza is back with Isle of Wight, and after the meeting earlier in the season where he headbutted someone and received a bit of a ban, there could be fireworks.

I woke up at 9am semi naked in someone elses bed. Once she'd got back to sleep I got the hell out of there.

you were fucking wasted mate.

I still think I'm drunk dude x

i hope you wore a hat..
