..................at updating this thing recently!
My only excuse that I can offer is that I have been really busy! Poor excuse I know but I've not really been spending much time surfing the web recently.
So what have I been up to?
I've been busily following Watford, who seem to stumble from one bad result to the next at the moment. Some of my fellow fans really annoy me when we go through these phases as they seem to think that we have a devine right to be good! I'm afraid i've got some bad news for them in respect of the fact that Watford are currently punching above their weight. So whilst it does frustrate me that we are not doing so well I just can't get as angry about it as some seem to do.
Work is very busy at the moment. I've somehow become involved in presenting part of the company's Time for action initiative, which has taken up loads of time in this last week. I don't mind giving this time as I feel it is to a very worthy cause, that if done correctly will change the way we operate for the benefit of the staff and customers. It will put some out of comfort zones, but that is how we all individually become better! The problem with all of these commitments is that it means that I spen hardly any time back in my office, which I really don't like as I feel I lumber tasks on my colleague and am not sorting out the day to day stuff!
It's that time of the year when I'm having to consider what to put where in my allotment as well and some work needs to be done on it to get it ready for growing, so that will happen over the next couple of weekends.
Added to that I have some decorating projects to complete in my house, so all in all I'm going to be a busy boy in the coming weeks too.

Mind the gap!
I gather one of my blog readers has a sore ankle after not doing the above whilst at Moorgate this morning!
This certain person happens to be a driver as well and was in charge of a train at the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I found out I had visions of customers watching it happen and all the quickly disembark from the train so as to avoid travelling in the charge of this person!!!!!!!!
Seriously though I hope it's not too painful, and after all, we all make mistakes (as the Dalek said climbing off the dustbin)!!!!!!!!!

A little poem for you.........
Illegal Immigrants Poem
I cross ocean, poor and broke.
Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there.
Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare say, 'You come no more, we send cash right to your door.
' Welfare cheques - they make you wealthy!
NHS - it keep you healthy!
Write to friends in motherland. Tell them 'come fast as you can.'
They come here, we live together.
More welfare cheques, it gets better!
Finally, British guy moves away.
Now I buy his house, then I say, 'Find more immigrants for house to rent.'
And in the yard I put a tent.
Everything is very good, and soon we own the neighbourhood.
We have hobby, it's called breeding. Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wives need pills? We get free! We got no bills!
British crazy! They work all year, to keep the welfare running here.
We think UK darn good place. Too darn good for British race!
If they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Afghanistan !

Preston 1 Watford 0
Deepdale - The home of Preston - is a rare breed of Football ground for recent times. Gone, I thought, were the scenes post Hillsborough, where football stadia were ripped apart and actually made fit for Human consumption. Apparently not so, especially as my own second home - Vicarage Road - will take on a similar semblance next season.
I have to say that missing a stand seems to detract from the grounds atmosphere somewhat but I think Deepdale will be a ground to make Preston fans proud of next season.
I know Preston are third from bottom................
.....................of the Championship but this sign seen by the visitors entrances seems to have been taken literally this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know everyone I do!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave was bragging to his boss one day, 'You know, I know everyone there
is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.'
Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, 'OK, Dave, how about
Tom Cruise?'
'No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.'
So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door
and Tom Cruise shouts, 'Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come
on in for a beer!'
Although impressed, Dave's boss is still sceptical. After they leave
Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just
lucky.
'No, no, just name anyone else,' Dave says.
'President Bush,' his boss quickly retorts.
'Yup,' Dave say's, 'Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington '
And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Dave on the tour and
motions him and his boss over, saying, 'Dave, what a surprise, I was
just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and
let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up.'
Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.
After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to
Dave , who again implores him to name anyone else.
'The Pope,' his boss replies.
'Sure!' says Dave. 'I've known the Pope for years.' So off they fly to
Rome .
Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican's St.
Peter's Square when Dave says, 'This will never work. I can't catch the
Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards
so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope.'
He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the
balcony , but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a
heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, 'What happened?'
His boss looks up and says, 'It was the final straw ... you and the Pope
came out on to the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who the f***k
is that on the balcony with Dave?'

Watford v Wolves
For the second round running Watford have picked up potentially the most unattractive tie of the round!
I would suspect that there will not be a particularly large crowd at Vicarage Road for this one again. Only just over 10,000 turned out to see Watford see off Crystal Palace with ease in round Three.

FA cup fever
The draw for the fourth round takes place at 1330 today, and as it seems is regularly the case my team, Watford, are in the hat!
Last season we got as far as the semi finals and a good day out at Villa Park before loosing 1-4 to Manchester United - Man Utd lost in the final to Chelsea!

A quick joke.....................
The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down for a couple of beers.
A few minutes later, a lanky, bow-legged cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside?"
"I do,² the Lone Ranger replied. ³Why?" The cowboy drawled, ³You better take care of him. He¹s almost dead from the heat.²
The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and found Silver leaning against the hitching post, panting. They got him some water and soon Silver was looking better, but he was still panting. The Lone Ranger said, "Tonto, run around Silver as fast as you can and see if the breeze makes him feel any better.² Tonto replied, "Sure, Kemosabe," and began running around and around Silver.
The Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his beer. A few minutes later, another cowboy came into the bar and drawled, "Who owns that big white horse outside?"
³I do,² the Lone Ranger said, ³what's wrong with him this time?"
³Nothin',² the cowboy said, ³but you left your Injun runnin.²
