I’ve finally managed to get myself motivated to make a start on my management project.
Yes, it is as boring and tedious as it looks…
It is the first time in, well… ever, that I have actually wanted my team to lose, and they didn’t disappoint tonight.
I hope Newport fans enjoy their night; finally beating Bath City (albeit a substandard City team). I also hope the fans enjoy playing 4 games in 7 days come March, after loads of their league games have to be rearranged to accommodate their pointless cup runs.
I know this all sounds very, very bitter, but I am generally pleased to be out of the Setanta Shield, and Newport are more than welcome to it.
I am off work on annual leave this week. I went to be last night, planning to have a very productive Monday, and sort out a load of things I’ve been meaning to do for ages.
- Order tickets for the Leeds game at Cheltenham next Sunday
- Put the washing-up away which has been standing by the sink for a week
- Finish off the assignment for my management course
- Complete my Christmas shopping
- Clean out Dennis Wise’s cage (the hamster, not Leeds manager)
- Go the local shops and the bank
So far, I have only managed to achieve ‘1’ and ‘2’. I put this down to a major distraction in the form of an Xbox 360 and Fifa 2008.
Now, it’s too late to do any of the above, as I have to go to Wales at in two hours. I am going to Newport to watch Bath City in the Setanta Shield. There is no fan coach and nobody I know is driving (so I can’t get a lift). I’ve managed to blag myself a place on the team bus. Kick ass.
Somehow all these messages found their way into my inbox this evening.
Gmail’s spam filter is obviously broken. Either that or these are genuine e-mails from scientists who have invented some kind of miracle medication, and think the best way to sell their product is by sending out mass e-mails to random people, instead of selling to a major drugs company for £500million.
While browsing the net this morning, I discovered that there was a new Killers album out, entitled Sawdust. I was so excited by this news, I immediately went and downloa… err… went out to HMV and bought it.
Sawdust isn’t your typical Killers album, more of a collection of B-Sides, soundtrack titles and covers; it is still, like all Killers material, very good indeed.
Some stand out tracks include Tranquilize which features Lou Reed – the one who was on that Satellite of Love dance track a few years ago (although he probably also did some albums that old people may remember).
There is a wonderful track called Sweet Talk, which captures the Killers’ style perfectly.
Also on the album is an excellent remix of the Sam’s Town track which is on the previous album of the same name.
The best song on the album is kept to near the end – a beautiful cover of Dire Straight’s Romeo and Juliet. D.S. fans will probably see it as sacrilege, but if like me, you love The Killers and couldn’t give a toss about Mark Knopfler and his fellow Geordies, you’ll adore the track.
I was surprised that their cover of Morrissey’s Why Don’t You Find Out For Yourself wasn’t included – quiet possibly the best cover of any song ever.
About Me
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.
