Sun - Boy Sr football match in front of crowds of up to 72000, but possibly less. Sun PM take both boys to pub to see Man C v Man Ure, as they cover both bases between them. Only if they've got all their homework done though. If they haven't I'll go out and knock out a few miles to move into the top 50 on the Stats nonsense.
Sun night. Slump, TG, wine.
Derby is on Sat. And whatever possessed you to allow the 1 CIty 1Utd situation to arise?0 -

The City / United thing just came about. Elder one gave up on Chelsea when he was about 6 as they'd not won anyhting for a few months, then got in with the Man Ure crowd at school. Trouble is he'll go through life proudly claiming to have supported the red scum since he was a small boy, even though he's got the most tenuous connection with the place and night just as easily have supported the Arsenal if he'd been a year or so older. Shame. The other one supported City out of beligerence - that's ma boy <proud as punch of that one's decision >.
I can't bear the red scum, arrogant up-their-own-backsides bunch of glory-hunters, and the most miserable git on the planet in charge who refuses to acknowledge his team's fans by refusing to go on the BBC and I refuse on principle to buy Sky Sports. Best outcome would be a Man U v derby fixture [or forest for that matter] and a plane crashes onto the stadium. I could go with that.0 -
Not much tonight, might go for a a swim or a run.

I will be spending Saturday watching Exeter play Harlequins at Sandy Park, followed by a couple of drinks in a local bar before returning home and enjoying the fact I will have the bed to myself.
Sunday, will be spent working on the engine on the boat I currently have 'cluttering' up the driveway.
I have been banned from the bike until the boat is water tight and the engine is functioning correctly and 'that bloody boat is off the driveway'. Her words, not mine. :roll:twitter: @JakeM19690 -

Good luck with the shoulder op btw, if it any consolation I was riding on the road again 4 weeks afterwards, just take it steady & slow and you'll be fine.
