Tbf heās good at goal-hanging - see his effort yesterday - the amount of stick we used to give kids when they did that in games as a nipper. If Iād only realised you could make a well paying career out if it
"Jewish Tour* this week.
Namely driving around S & E Poland going to Synagogues & Camps.
Never get much info but turned out to be Orthodox Jewish Father pleasant wife & cute soon to be married Daughter.
12 hour shift around Krakow & Auschwitz tomorrow & their flight was delayed so home at 3am after airport transfer & start again with a 6am alarm.
Just sat down outside the hotel for a smoke and in 3seconds Iām soaked
Thunderstorm
FFS
Rains coming through the local beer company sun brolly
Ooh lightning just hit a tree 50m away.
I have vodka Iām fine
Substitutions being made in the last 5 minutes of a game.
Is there any point?
Apologies to all those ardent tacticians out there, but I think itās stupid and a waste of time.
Exactly!
Itās used purely as a tactic to interrupt the flow of play. I donāt see how it could be prevented, every single club does it.
If it is a kid coming on for a taste of big game experience- fair enough
Otherwise itās manager shithousery
Be honest. If weāre winning by the odd goal with two minutes left and the opposition are mounting waves of attacks, would you be happier if we avoided such chicanery in the interests of sportsmanship and fair play?
In Bristol overnight. Some bright spark thought it funny to book me a disabled persons room with a wet room bigger than the rest of the room!!
Now have a normal sized roomā¦
Turd day
Plan for Pilgrims was stupid 784kms? 6 sites? An hour at each?
Be in the Synagogue in Warsaw by 7pm
Fail.
So we dropped the 2 Cemetaries furthest away, but they then dropped the shopping in Warsaw gig tomorrow
They were paying for the hotel and Iād given them confidence to go DIY
Fine.
But then we had last minute changes. Instead of paying Zloty for the hotel it was now part of the new total cost in $
Fine.
Except I had an empty bank account and about 15 quid in cash.
Boss didnāt understand when I said send me a transfer 3 times so after 12 hours driving Iām in Warsaw skint
4 more hours to home through Thunderstorms and nothing to eat since breakfast. No choice. Hit the road.
Boss comes back online, Iām asleep at the wheel halfway home.
Why didnt you stay in Warsaw
Liking Jimmy Bullardā¦
Bloody Celebrity Masterchef
Who?
Donāt watch a lot of shite terrestrial channels tbf, but assume this is up there with Aussie Opal Hunters or my 1000lb life that turns up on the TV guide?
Itās one of the shows I can watch late on with brain turned off after I finish watching a good show and I still have beer left.
He is annoying
Apparently you can burn whilst sitting under a parasol in the shade
Well no one fucking told me
How do I not know that after 50 years
On the upside, stick an extension lead up my bum and I could power the national grid for a week with the heat I am generating
My 5 tooth bridge fell out over dinner.
And Iām fully booked most of September
Gone onto a liquid diet obv.
That what you get using cheap overseas dentists
Assume theyāll fix it if not your fault? - you werenāt eating toffee and the like?
Steak. Tbh the damage on the left side to the root canal didnāt help.
Dentist emergency trip 1 was yesterday.
Turns out it was a 6 tooth bridge so the entire right side of my mouth was screwed unable to eat solids.
Dentist looks at bridge - all fine. Looks in mouth. Oh shit, back tooth has broken under strain of being main eating machine since the root canal infection. Cannot be fitted back in.
Now facing a nightmare - next 15 days Americans EVERY day - and boy do they tip but I will be dead of starvation.
Dentist says take the bridge to the tooth maker in town, he can cut it down to 3 I can refix that you can eat. 2 hours in rush hour FFS.
Got it cut.
Today
Have to take MiL to Hospital for Doctor appointment. He runs 40m late. I wait outside. She takes 3.75 HOURS for tests etc.
FFS
Rush home. Drop her off, rush to Dentist with cut down Bridge. Doesnāt fit.
Oh FFS.Lots of huffing puffing sanding & drilling later. It fits. Is glued in. I can eat next week.
To get back to full functionality - ie all 6 teeth I need a grands worth of dental Implants.
Tbh aināt happening unless the Yanks are ultra generous on their tips.
Starting the last jar of home made jam in my secret store.
