I could stay in and watch the Champignons League this evening. Or I could get my fix somewhere altogether more local…
FA Vase football at the World’s Oldest Football Ground and within walking distance of the house?
Sounds like a plan.

A day in London
I’m on a train, hurtling North at a ridiculous speed. We’ve had a great day in London: hellishly busy, but fun.
Tower of London, The Monument (something I’ve always wanted to do, but never have), then the Royal Observatory at Greenwich and the infamous ‘Dangleway’ Emirates Air-line cable car thing.
Seriously, I’d recommend all of them. Reasonable prices (for London), really interesting, lots of fun, and quite educational. We like to learn.
More to follow, including photos, obviously, but let’s not push our luck with the internet connection, hey?
Trouble ahead (or behind?)
We’re on our way down to London. A very quick, functional, educational and only mildly touristy visit.
But I am struggling to log in to the back end of 6000.co.za (which is obviously where all the magic happens), and that means that I am struggling to write a blog post.
If you’re reading this, I’ve found a workaround, and so I’m putting this up to preserve the at-least-a-post-a-day record of several or more years, and if I can get back in later, I’ll write some more.
Have a great day.
Of course it matters
My nerves are shot. I’ve been put through the mill. Shaky. Emotionally drained.
But, you know what?
I think I’ll survive.
That big day
With apologies to Jasper Carrott.
It was on a Sunday morning that to Hillsborough we did roam.
I hadn’t got a ticket, so I had to stay at home*.
I loaded up with tele snacks and several crates of beer.
I chucked a toilet roll at next door’s cat for atmosphere.
A nice, uneventful Sheffield United win would be perfect. But local derbies don’t always go that way, of course…
And just as a note, yesterday’s was an interesting evening. I’m just putting that here to remind me to tell you about it.
* Actually going to a friend’s house to watch it on his imax style tv.
