Decorating!

Bathroom this time - I can't help myself but to have a go myself. In fact i've only decided to update this because I needed a break and the study is next door to the bathroom!!

I'm currently removing all the tile adhesive from where I removed the tiles a couple of weeks ago - anyone who has done this will testify that it is time consuming and a pain in the arse but absolutely essential if you are to do a good job when putting the new tiles up.

If it looks OK I may even post a couple of pictures of it when it's done although I wouldn't expect any picturres for a few days yet!!!!!!!!!!

New Mayor!

Living well away from the capital, I don't get to have a vote at the Mayoral elections. But those that did decided it was time for a change.

Given who I work for I'm not really allowed to have an opinion on this blog about what I think as sites such as this one are monitored by the company "internet police" and an opinion would be seen as inappropiate!

All I will say is that we all need to keep an open mind about the new mayor as a majority of those that give a fig / were able to vote decided that he was the best one for the job.

As for Ken, he wasn't everyones cup of tea but he genuinely cared for London and has done some good things for the residents of the place.

And still the season lingers on............

Watford may well not be champions of the championship yet but they still have an outside chance of reaching the promised land of the premiership.

I just happened to be in Blackpool last Sunday and was the holder of a ticket for the away stand at Bloomfield Road. Stand? Well kind of! The home fans kept appologising for the state of this temporary construction and there were even stories of a rather portly gentleman falling through the ply wood floor a couple of games ago when jumping up and down - suffice to say I stood very still throughout the match!!!!!!!!!

Tommy Smith ensured that the season was prolonged by another 10 days at least by equalising mid way through the second half. Watford now play Hull on Sunday at home and the following Wednesday away (I'll be there even though the boss does not know it yet)!!!!!!!!!

I also took the opportunity on the Saturday to go to a ground I've never visited before - Spotland - Home of Rochdale FC - and saw a rather entertaining 1-1 draw with Shrewsbury Town. Theres a lot to be said for lower league football and I feel more people should try it out for size.

Theres much more to football than the premiership.

Champions (Part 1 of 2?)

My football watching "bit on the side", Kettering Town, overcame AFC Telford 3-0 at the A-Line arena yesterday to become champions of Blue Square North. Could this be one part of a champions double for me personally?

It's still possible, but in my opinion unlikely, following Watford's win, but poor, poor performance yesterday at home to Coventry City. The Golden boys scored their first two goals from open play since 26th february thanks to Nathan Ellington and Tommy Smith and this puts them in 4th place 2 points behind but with a game in hand over Bristol City who are top.

The game in hand is at home to FA Cup semi finalists Barnsley next Wednesday.

Well thank fuck for that!

Still a bit late for my boys though!

Hull 3 Watford 0

What a waste of a Saturday and another bizarre refereeing decision.

For the first time I can remember I was embarrassed to be a Watford fan........................

Roll on next Saturday for the next game!!!!!!!!!!

To Hull and back!!!!!!!!!!

That's where I shall be going tomorrow to watch the latest episode in Watfords topsy turvey season.

Regardless of what happens in the last weeks of the season it is certainly going to turn into a nail biting finale to the Championship season.

In the words of the boss.................. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
