An Unpublished Blog from October 2017

Tootling along at around 20-22 mph on the old bone shaker, down Westferry Road when I hear a horn being blow from behind. I was in the middle in the road, wary of potential doors opening up from a long line of parked cars. I duly turned and gave the driver the one finger salute, assured in the knowledge that I didn't have any obligation to hug the line of parked cars. As soon as the driver had the chance overtake me, he slammed his brakes on, causing me to slam on my anchors. The car turned out to be tacky blue Jag, the modern imitation of the Morse classic. The driver was a middle-aged hairy, pony tailed cockney yob, was now level with me, and wound his window who and yelled something like "you f@cking c@nt. I'll f@cking smash you off the f@cking road, you cunt etc.". Clearly, a very angry psycho. Luckily, I my brain was engaged and I just eye-balled him and said nought. He sped off and turned left not far ahead. I have to admit, it made the old sphincter twitch!
One blog post a year isn't really up there in the bloggosphere. Then again what is there to say that hasn't been said already?
Time to draw a line in the sand, and make another posting after 3 years. I guess I should really start a new blog but I can't be arsed to set up a new one, so I'll just draw a line after the Clare House School football team. ----oooOooo----

End of an Era! The hardcore turn up for the final football training session at Harvington on July 1st 2006. Matt's mum Sue goes in goal, but disappears in mysterious circumstances after twenty minutes play. Matt's dad Gucci joined in the action, and he pulled off some great jinxie littel runs. Bet he was sore next morning.

Mark & Matt, stalwarts of defence clearing their lines...

Was that the ref or the coach giving Matthew a rollocking?  
Image
Don't kick it into the ditch!!!  
Image
Do I look like Thierry Henry?

Ball watching!

Rory on the charge, is that Charlie Charles goal hanging there?!  
Image
Adil in action, was this a free kick?  
Image
"On me 'ead, Maxie!!!!"

Ollie looks on in pensive mood. He kept goal well in the first game, letting in just two goals. Whereas Clare House stuck six or was it seven past Keston?

On the hoof! Ben L, Max & Adil chase the ball.

Two die-hard supporters, Richard & Geof. Who's got the Polo's this week?

Charles in a typically dynamic mood, with a big smile on his face! During this game, Charles made a great solo run into the box, but blasted his shot just wide of the post. Must practice harder!

Charles, Rory & Max on their way to getting beaten 3-0 by Southborough Year 5. The ref was extremely poor, and by this time the lads were very tired, having just held the Year 6 team to a 2-2 draw. They were also playing in elephant grass!
