A quick summary of last Friday: we had a big breakfast in Chez Pierre. We played ten-pin bowling. As ever, the second game was my best. And as ever, we never got to finish the second game, as we are only given an hour. But our team won… probably! Then we went home. Matt’s speaker [...]

Hazy Thursday
Thursday was an interesting day. I had established during the course of the night that it was not a migraine I had, but a cold. As such, I didn’t move the next morning. The others went to play the five-a-side tournament, in which I believe we were incompetent at best!
I recovered after lunchtime and so [...]
Wish You’d All Tee Off
Ok, so I think I’m on Wednesday of last week now. After Donna had made the breakfast to end all breakfasts the day before, we trundled off to the Sports Café to have a breakfast. It was good, but we couldn’t have a cup of tea with it unfortunately. :(Having also acquired a taste for [...]
Tennis Elbow
Like last year, my body was filling with lactic acid and I felt like I would not be able to move in the morning as I woke several times during the night. As it happens, it was just my left arm that I was having problems with when morning did come. Donna made a brilliant [...]

Les Get Drunk
Today the Newells had a barbeque to celebrate James’ and Louis’ birthdays with the family and some friends. Les got through two bottles of wine and probably a few bottles of London Pride too. Everyone from last night’s trip to the Tap ‘n’ Tin bar Will also went, so again I was wary of people [...]
M1A1
I left Newcastle fairly early on - the bus left Central Station at 7am. We made fairly good progress and stopped at Sheffield’s Meadowhall Interchange. Our bus had more people on than there has been whenever I’ve been on, so perhaps that is why we didn’t swap buses as per the usual rigmorale for the [...]
Sittingbourne 2006 #6
Old Haunts
Pete and I, with a lack of anything constructive to do, decided to head out to Sittingbourne. I needed to book the 5 a side for that evening, so I got all that sorted. Then we headed to GameStation (there is one in The Forum now!) and Pete bought some NHL game for the [...]
