Where's everybody gone

How can I log on to the websites I normally check each morning, and not find anything new or interesting? I went to the normal sports sites I go to, news sites, blogs, etc. and saw nothing of any interest. Do you know what that means? It means I have to start work now. You've let me down, world.

So, here's a message to some of the people who read this blog but don't comment OR write their own blog. Blogging is easy. I know recently I kinda lost the will to carry on doing it, but I'm working on that and trying hard to keep going. So those people who don't blog (you know who you are) and those who don't update their blogs enough (Mr. GP - Mr. RB) sort it out. Give me something interesting to read in the morning, otherwise I'll be getting into the office at 7.00 and starting work... you don't want that, do you? I know a lot of my readers have loads to say - some of them can't shut up! They are interesting, fabulous people who the world would love to know about. So come on, get it together.

On another note, my new driver turned up yesterday - its very nice, I can't wait to get out on the course to try it out, but wouldn't you know, the weather for this week is shit. Wet, miserable... English summer my spotty arse. And, countdown to stag weekend - leaving in four days. I need to but some speedos today to wear under my set suit... now won't I look good in those. N O T !

Update: I found this website on reddit - MadCowTouristInfo
The author is quite, quite insane. Its not very well presented, and the article the link points to is very long, but when you get some time, take a look at some of it. She is a complete nut case.
For example - she says she has been courted by Prince William, believes she was poisoned at Heathrow Airport... she's mad. Here's just one quote from the site:
"I am also including my cat, Meetzy, who received the awe and respect of Hollywood producers after he was quoted in my script. He was very conversational and spoke two words: "oou" ("hi"), and "row-ou" (hel-lo)." Madder than a bucket of hammers!

Runner up

Jake's team played in another tournament yesterday, were unbeaten all the way to the final where they lost 2 - 1. It's a shame, and the manager of the winning team actually said to Jake's manager that he thought the best of the tournament lost in the final, but there you go. Jake scored a hat-trick in one game, and a couple in another, and although that was all he did setup a lot of goals for his team mates, which was good.

The dog ate my phone again. (I know, it sounds like a name of an album, or a book or something... "The dog ate my phone"... but no, not the case unfortunately). I left it somewhere he could reach it on Saturday morning and when I got back from training with Jake, it was on the floor in the lounge looking very sorry for itself with big teeth marks in it. So I was without a mobile until Sunday evening when my new handset turned up. It felt weird knowing I couldn't be contacted on my mobile... but strangely liberating as well.

No plans this week really, but on Friday after work I leave for my mates stag do down in Cornwall... could get messy. Have a good Monday.

Trip confirmed

Another trip out to the U.S has been confirmed for the first week in August.
Some of you might think "lucky bloke out to the U.S again" and yes, it should be a good trip in itself... but I was only out there in May, and being away from the family again for a week is a bit depressing. This time there will be three of us going, so I'll have some company in the evenings at least.

Jake's due back this afternoon from his first overnight school trip - I'm looking forward to seeing him and hearing how he got on. I'm also playing badminton tonight so we'll see how that goes.

Enjoyed golf yesterday - didn't play brilliant (7 over my handicap) but I hit some good shots and as the saying goes, a bad day on the golf course is STILL better than a good day at work.

Soundtrack of the day: Aerosmith box set (containing "Toys In The Attic", "Get Your Wings" and "Aerosmith" albums).

Update: Another funny video - The Death Star Canteen

Bye bye Jake

Big day for number one son today - its his first school trip away from home. He's only going away for one night, but hes very excited / nervous / scared / apprehensive about it. We had a big chat last night and he was quite tearful, saying he is going to miss us etc. (which, although nice, brings a lump to your throat!) but I'm sure he'll be fine. He's stayed away from home before, but only with grandparents, so this is a bit different. Its a shame I can't be there to send him off on the coach, but maybe its a good thing, because he won't be as upset. For me, its not much different from a normal Thursday / Friday - you see, a lot of the time, I'll come to work on Thursday before he's up, and if Im playing golf (which I am tonight) then I don't see him at all until Friday after school, as he stays with my mother a lot on Thursday nights as both the wife and I are out. So for me, it won't be much different, but for him... he'll be fine, he's a sensible boy and he's got his head screwed on right.
So, playing golf tonight, then tomorrow evening playing badminton with Mr. P - as I don't play much football anymore, I want to try and do something to keep fit, we we're gonna try and play once a week. I like badminton, was even quite good at it in my youth, so I'm quite looking forward to it.
No soundtrack of the day today, as I'm with someone all day helping them with a project.

This is brilliant. You need sound.
