Singing the Right Toon

I haven't updated for a while. Not a lot to report. Been working diligently at Raynes Park. Have also been partying hard at the weekends.

Sam Araldite is out of Toon and King Kev is back! Now the players are really crapping themselves. No more dossing and no more taking the mick. Kev is the only person in the World who will command the full patience and support of the Toon, so Duff, Owen, Carr, Viduka et al will need to pull their socks up and start earning their keep.

Went to the Emirates to see the Toon get beaten 3-0. Despite the scoreline, the performance was a million times better than anything under Araldite. All day drinking, session in Angel, bed 6am wearing funny fake permanent marker pen taches... Love it.

Christmas and NY - the end of 2007

My lack of recent postings is probably indicative of the hectic life I have been living since my return from the rock. Instead of listing all my social engagements, I'll cut to the chase. Christmas was a on event for me. As I don't have children or a partner, I decided to opt out of the usual festive goings on, by spending the day alone doing something constructive. This Christmas I volunteered for the Crisis Open Christmas campaign. I worked 3 night shifts (around 11 hours each) which included the 23rd, 24th (into Christmas day) and the 30th. It was hard work adn a real eye opener. I would deffo do it again. Met a lot of really interesting and decent people - guests AND volunteers. New years celebrations were rather muted. Was supposed to go to Brixton Academy but I was so full of cold, I slept all day then went to Gregs' to catch up with some friends and stay up all night doing the usual celebration thing. I also managed to go to Brighton to pick up a car, a Rover 214. It's in excellent condition, so I couldn't say no. However, a week later I took it to Halfords to get a new stereo fitted and as soon as they did that, my car wouldn't start. So, I had it towed back to Brighton and then had to take a series of trains to make an appointment in Oxford, where I was around 7 hours late. I am in the process of getting the car fixed and making a formal complaint to Halfords for compensation.
