This morning I had to go to Devizes on a top secret work related mission. Ahead of my trip into Wiltshire, I was warned about locals with webbed feet and six fingers. Having spent an hour in the town centre, I can confirm that it is indeed Webbedville.

After missing the 12 O’clock bus back to Bath, I had an hour to kill while waiting for another. Once I had visited Marks & Spencer’s and Greggs for lunch, I took a few random photos. Sorry – no pics of the locals; they’re too frightening – even for the internet!


The centre of local activity


Amazingly, Devizes has it’s very own Clinton Cards and Phones 4u


I actually forgot it was St. George’s day today… should have been a Bank Holiday


Feed me money… Boom! Boom!

I’ve just got back from Weston Super Mare, having watched Bath City play Paulton Rovers in the Somerset Cup Final.

After 90 minutes it was 1-1.
5 minutes into extra time, the flood lights failed.
4 minutes into the darkness, we hear the game has been abandoned and will be replayed in the summer.
2 minutes later, the floodlights come back on. Can we carry on playing? Can we f##k!

That trip cost me £30!
I do hear that the Somerset FA are planning on compensating fans by letting them have a piss up in the Bath Ales brewery; however, they are yet to find anyone capable of organising it.

Obviously Sutton didn’t read the script. The rock-bottom team were supposed to roll over and die, allowing Bath City to get into the play offs. Grrr…

Just connected the optical cable to the PS3. Gran Turismo Prologue sounds so much better in surround. This is seriously wetting my appetite for GTA4 – I want to mow down pedestrians and shoot policemen in high def!

While showing a colleague something on my blog at work today, I was surprised to find out that the July 2007 page had been blocked by the net policing system – normally in place for blocking porn, gambling and terrorism websites. Apart from my war on terror against the spiders, I don’t think Sparkster.net falls into any of these categories.

Looking through the page, I wonder what has caused it to get blacklisted? There are a few words and phrases of minor controversy, but nothing major. I won’t post them here, as the main page will get blocked!

  • 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.
