A long afternoon ahead and predictable evening of angst on here methinks.

Knowing that next year I'll have been teaching for 40 years. The old timers when I started had invariably been Dunkirk or D Day veterans.

Happy 'Mark Francois Exploding day'.

Every time you mention Gao it comes out as Goa sort it out

Catching up with Downton Abbey on Netflix

There is a cancer in this club. Player power! Dealt with Puel, Pellegrino, Hughes and now Ralph. Not been nipped in the bud

Everyone but that Brexit ****

Couldn’t agree more

Is this an anti Ralph protest?

Or Dixon and Speedie’s come to that

Clearly hasn’t got them onside with him. Luggy all over again

Family first today. I'm going to watch it in the warm but my daughter is going for her first Saints match. She was contacted at work by a friend of hers who had a spare ticket. She's been badgering me to go for ages. She asked me if I minded! Let's hope it lives it up to expectations and she brings them luck!

Student Union Bar at what was then Worcester College of Higher Education

Nostalgia time. Very much part of my teenage years. Saw them in Nov 72 in Bournemouth at start of their UK Trilogy tour. First ever proper live gig. Saw loads of that sort of stuff mainly in Bournemouth as was over that side of the Forest. Genesis, twice Selling England by the Pound and Lamb tours, Yes, as well as some of the more 'industrial stuff' like Purple, Free, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind etc. Happy times. Apart from seeing Ultravox at the Mayflower (or was it still The Gaumont then?) sometime in the 80's I've not been to a live concert since, but I reckoned I ended on a high with Led Zeppelin at Earl's Court in 75. Most of that stuff just feels very dated now.

Being asked by a kid at school if I remember teaching their mum/dad and then being told mum or dad's name and having no idea who the f*** they were.

F**k that, if it wasn't for the private schools of north Hampshire, Berkshire and south west Surrey I'd have no tutoring business

Not sure sure they are. Play some decent stuff. Reckon Villa, Newcastle, Sheffield Utd, Brighton, Burnley and dare I say Palace will be in for longer and harder seasons than them.

As some have pointed out he was MIA in the 70s. Always thought he was a boring, overrated cricketer, a pompous opinionated commentator and pundit and ill deserving of the 'hero' status that many give him. In my mind, take that away what is left that deserves a knighthood?
