Check out these videos on YouTube. Someone has dubbed and re-edited old Tintin cartoons with a modern and northern twist. This one is my favourite.
Congratulations to Bath City, who today sit 1st in The Southern Premier Division, following a 5-0 win over Cheshunt. I was at Twerton Park this afternoon, and must say it was every bit as good as the score line suggests. In their black and white striped kits, it was hard to tell whether I was watching non-league Bath City or Italian giant’s Juventus… OK, that may have been a little bit of an exaggeration.
Now they top the table, the league title and promotion gateway is Bath’s to throw away. Come on City!
Finally, whether you’re a Bath fan or not, take a look at this clip from today’s game. In it, 30 year old centre back Jim Rollo skins his opponent in a move that John Terry would be proud of.
After much thought and financial assessment, I have decided that I should look for a new flat. I currently live in a shared house and while I am happy there, I would like my own place to live, gaining more space and privacy.
Following reading an advert in the property pages of a local newspaper, I looked round a basement studio flat yesterday evening. While it was very modern, clean and homely, the flat was a tad too small for my liking. It did however boast a massive garden – you could have played football on it! I would like somewhere to sit outside in the summer, have a barbecue and a few beers, but I don’t want to pay any excessive charges for the privilege, and I am sure with a garden of that size, it would have been costly. The landlord also came across as a twat. When asked about certain facilities, such as telephone line, he was unclear and muttered strange replies. I turned the place down, but will continue to hunt for a flat.
After the flat hunting, Mr. Watkins called round and we went to collect Simon from work. If you were in Sainsbury’s supermarket around 8pm last night and saw a young man randomly lifting his hand into the air while on a mobile telephone from which screams and shouts were being emitted, that was Simon being watched by us in the car park, hurrying him along.
When Simon eventually dragged himself away from work, we went back to my current flat for the traditional video game session. There was no GoldenEye this week, instead we spent the whole evening playing Bomberman. I won the majority of the games, but Mr. Watkins did win a respectable amount of rounds – even Simon manage to become a short lived champion (a little like Blackburn Rovers winning the Premier League).
The “achievement of the evening” award was justifiably given to Mr. Watkins for his miraculous Bomberman comeback. I was winning 4-0 and was equipped with a Golden Bomberman suit, which gave me double lives. Watkins managed to claw his way back to 4-4 and then go on to win the whole game 5-4. Never mind Liverpool’s comeback in The Champions League, the comeback of the century took place last night in Bath! Well done Johnny McWatkins.
So, David Beckham is leaving the Real Madrid subs bench to become popular again… in America – the same country where Paris Hilton is watched and adored by millions. Those crazy Yanks, they’ll watch anything (mind you, the UK seems transfixed by that ghastly Jade Goody and her family, so we’re not much better).
There have been no interviews with Sir Becks about the move stateside – until now! Yes, Sparkster.net caught up with Beckham at the Real Madrid B Team training ground to discuss the transfer. In his own words, exclusive for Sparkster.net, here is Golden Balls’ story on the move to LA Galaxy.
“I am really looking forward to leaving Spain. Posh says there are lots of clothes shops for her and a really massive Toys Are Us for me and the boys. I think playing in space will be different to playing in Spain. I like the La Liga league but the La Galaxy league will be much better! Yesterday I watched Space Jam on DVD. That was basketball in space. I hope that La Galaxy will be exactly the same but with football instead. I wonder if Porky Pig and Daffy Duck will play.”

I had a little accident at work this morning. While carrying out my work in a mature and sensible manner (despite claims from colleagues who say I was messing around) the tip of my elbow met the base of the cafetiere. The cafetiere was filled with hot black coffee. The cafetiere fell. The hot black coffee left the cafetiere and ran all over the table, dripping all over the floor, splashing the keyboard, mouse mat and surrounding desktop objects.
I didn’t know what to do. I could have caught the cafetiere and prevented the tsunami which was unfolding – I didn’t. I could have moved the electronic lamp, keyboard and wireless mouse out of path of the molten coffee – I didn’t. I could have run away – I probably should have. Instead, I stood there and laughed – what more can you do?
I won’t bore you with the aftermath and tedious cleaning up process, but I will say that the desk next to mine (note: I did NOT destroy my own workspace) is sticky, has a few missing artefacts (they are know coffee stained and in the bin) and has a slight hint of brown about it. On the plus side, the office smells like Starbucks.

So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
