    Blues (A) on ITV

    Used to watch Star Soccer at roughly 2pm on a sunday afternoon followed by either Ipswich or Norwich on Anglia tv at 3pm. At the time we lived high up in Allesley Park and received a rather fuzzy Anglia tv signal through the back of the 625 line aerial. Was better than nothing I guess.

    Watched the four episodes that were available on iplayer and thoroughly enjoyed them. Shame the final episode isnt available until next Sunday.

    I'm guessing 21.5 years will be drastically reduced on appeal. Hope not...

    Things that annoy you

    Night time oncoming drivers who put their lights on main beam a second before you actually cross over with them... Absolutely no time to reciprocate the action by slamming your own lights on full as they are gone by then. The temptation is to do a hand brake turn and chase after them, lights...

    42 years ago today

    I was in the Kop and the lads in front of me had just got their half time beers in despite it still being the tail end of the 1st half. Gibbo puts the ball into the net for 3-0 and 6 or7 paper cups of M&Bs finest went flying into the air ! Gibbos hat trick goal in the 2nd half was scored with...

    Pacemaker fitted.

    Not much of a drinker these days but a meet up in the New Year would be great. We might still be top of the league by then !

    Pacemaker fitted.

    Not particularly good. I'd be refused an hgv licence if I was to apply for one. I was down for 3 wires to be fitted to my ticker but only 2 were actually put in place due to the AF. The technician explained it to me as he was carrying out the procedure and I didnt take on board the reason. I'll...

    Pacemaker fitted.

    Had a pacemaker fitted yesterday at the Norfolk & Norwich hospital. It was due to my heart slowly getting worse through atrial fibrillation over a number of years. Procedure was about 2 hours and slightly uncomfortable but not painful. Not sure what to expect in terms of improved health going...

    Things that annoy you

    Near me in North Norfolk is a Waitrose supermarket. While driving past the entrance on the A149 (North Walsham to Cromer road) I get utterly pissed off with shoppers there pulling out in front of me onto the main road like they're entitled to do because their 4x4s or Audi's are 'obviously...

    Going to give it a look tonight or tomorrow. Is it serious drama or light hearted ?

    Middlesbrough Fans

    Can anyone explain to me how the ultras behind the goals at German stadiums, can see a fuckin thing with the scores of huge flags being waved, seemingly all game, no matter what the score is. I sincerely hope it doesnt spread to this country.

    That's just ridiculous. If they charged £25, they would still be making money. How much effort and time does it take to erase a name and insert another on a computer screen ? Presumably no postage involved ?
