Jasper
Sad news today that my best mate Mike, aka Biggun, lost a good mate today - his trusty companion Jasper. Many a time we all shared good times on the banks of the Trent, Jasper was a lively dog to say the least.

The weekend
Work is where you do stuff for people you don't know and get paid for it, holidays are where you do stuff for people you do know (family) and don't get paid for it. So I had a nice break from work, and did some work - but not too much this time :-)
A bit of gardening, a pub lunch, an Indian takeaway, a Chinese takeaway. Didn't enjoy the footy :-(

Latest stuff
Been too busy to visit my own blog recently.
Formula 1 : great race today (China). Fantastic that Lewis won; shame Jenson missed out on a podium; but amazingly good race by Webber to get a podium after starting 18th on the grid. Looks like the Pirelli tyres and their designed degredation is making it very interesting this year.
Footy : Damn 1-1 draw, 98th minute penalty for 1-0 and then a 102nd minute equaliser for 1-1. Looks like an uphill struggle now, 6 points behind :-(

Centre Parcs
Just returned from a long weekend, celebrating (belatedly) wife's 60th with kids and theirs. Probably the 20th time we've been to CPs, not as fit (or young) as we used to be, so take it steady these days. My dear wife was not that well, so it spoilt the weekend to a certain degree, but no doubt we will return.

Six nations - disappointing end
Great that England won the Six Nations, shame they got turned over by the Paddys yesterday.

Six nations - nuff said.
Nuff Said - England v Scotland, not the best of games, but England won.
Just watched a recording of the Wales v Ireland game. Wales scored a try but it shouldn't have been awarded. Even worse was that the ref asked the assistant if it was good (the quick throw) and he said yes, where unless he knew for sure why not say no, and let decision be made upstairs where it was 100% clear that the wrong ball was used. If it was a matter of opinion by an official in open play then that's acceptable, and the referee's decision must be taken, and it's swings and roundabouts, every game has them. But this was a basic error. If Jonathan Davies agreed it was a bad decision then Nuff Said. LOL

What a fortnight
Oh bum. 2 weeks ago the only club still in with a shout in four competitions, now it's only one.
Played well today, I would say they played the better but then I would say that of course, but there's only one statistic that counts ........... how many times the ball crosses the line.
When man of the match is a goalkeeper it kinda says something.
If anyone comments and disagrees, rememeber I have the finger on the button. LOL

Goalkeeper crisis
What happens now? DO Arsenal get special dispensation to sign a goalkeeper, as they only have one left in the club uninjured?

Outplayed, but only one
Ooh eck. Totally outplayed, by arguably the best team in the world, but it was only by one. 4-3 was hardly reflected, but history will show it. Wasn't 'cos of the refereeing decisions but to play half the match with 10 men was, frankly, bl##dy wrong.
