took my 1st coaching session with the under 9 cricketers last night, was ridiculously nervous.
turns out as long as you shout a bit and look keen, its a piece of piss.
loving life :D
shame about the football though, losing 4-0 to germany in the final hurts a lot, but to be fair, england have a bright future if we're producing that calibre of player now.
massive grats to andy murray btw, he even showed some genuine emotion at the end. epic match, and i think we may have just witnessed the moment when middle england finally fell in love with him.

Thunder and lightening, its very bloody..... er shit really.
I don't think my cricket season is ever going to take off. once again circumstance has taken a big shit all over my day - this weekend it was the weather. As soon as we had finished tea and got set up to field it absolutely caned it down with rain. The other team kicked their heels a bit, but once it slackened to a dispiriting drizzle we were out. 5 quick wickets down the other team got a bit snotty and called their batsmen (to both of their disgust) in from the pitch. i must admit i was disappointed by this attitude, seeing it as poor sportsmanship in a casual friendly game. Unfortunately the oppo was proven correct when suddenly the heavens opened and it pure pissed down for the next 4 hours. We must have got about 3 months worth of rain in that time alone. Playing cricket with two banks of storm clouds complete with lightening and thunderclaps converging over our ground was quite exciting though, i will admit.
Sunday was a different beast altogether. Woke up with a bastard of a hangover (not helped by the mugginess and heat), and after forcing myself to eat and drink, dragged myself off to the flowerpot in kentish town. (nambucca 2). we were treated to a free 'We're Not at Glastonbury' barbeque by dave & co, and a glorious afternoon of cotching in the comfy sofas and chatting breeze was had. at one point maybe the two must drunk people i have ever seen wandered in, sloshed beer everywhere for half an hour, asked us if we were 'gay fucking cunts', and generally were quite entertaining. nobody was surprised they were irish. i think watching a large man with a popped pink collar and wildly rolling eyes attempting to chat up scene girls is the best thing i have seen since the hangover :D
later in the evening headed over to the abbey tavern for soundbites. Glorious band called little cats, with just a violinist and two accoustic guitars/occasional oud, stole the show for me. imagine if nick drake played the music at a jewish wedding and you're somewhere close.
saw the best bassist in the world too. only the singer/guitarist and the bassist of one of the bands turned up, and they played anyway. the bassist was about 25 stone and looked like one of the bad giants from the bfg, but my god the man could play. all his wobbly bits jiggled in time as well, only adding to the funk!
saw the worst band i have ever seen too - awful fucking band called hANK. tiny little stage in a quaint little pub giving it the full rockstar moves, complete with posturing and cringeworthy facial expressions...... they were also so loud it hurt, i mean seriously, where the fuck did they think they were playing? occasionally a tuneful melody might break out, which they would then proceed to bury under an embarrassing 5 minute prog-off. avoid this band.
Spent all the time in between having fun with mr andy mackay of celebrity chimp (remember the name) and alex and go.
what a lovely weekend :D

whats the big deal? i mean really?
find one mj song that doesn't sound pretty much like all the rest. i mean the guy hasn't got all that many truly memorable songs for a 40 year recording career really, has he?
its also quite funny how most of the time the world media is all over him for allegedly being a paedophile, for being an unfit parent, and for being generally mental, yet the second the guy pops his clogs we're absolutely inundated in 'heartfelt' obituaries from every second tabloid hack.
personally, i'm blithely unaffected by the whole thing - not even a tiny bit as upset as i would be if someone truly talented and memorable like thom yorke died.
glorious.

cricket
finally looking up on the old cricketing front. just had a hard, hard training session which basically involved running and diving and pain, knackered but happy.
got offered a job coaching the kiddies on monday night - practically bit steve's hand off. should get 2 games of cricket this weekend. gagging :D
ahh, off to watch big brother, all the while sincerely hoping karly wears even less clothes and talks even more in her lovely accent. wish me luck.

hello
new start.
no more of that pretentious indignant shit about weapons and politics and unsporting aussies.
apparently i have a £900 council tax bill and bailiffs ringing my doorbell once a week now, though luckily i live on the 2nd floor of a block of private flats so the cunts can't touch me. got to speak to the council about that, seeing as the whole time i was supposed to be paying ct i was actually a student.
still haven't dropped out yet - the longer i hold on the less ct i'll be eligible for if they ever find out. have to get the 1st lot sorted though - be a bit daft dropping out before i've proved my innocence the 1st time round.
still haven't finished my police application... pretty sure i'll pass the drugs testing now, so i need to get that shit sorted. the sooner i get a job, the sooner i move to scotland and get a car. glorious win.
weaned myself off of citalopram now - should probably tell my doctor that i've decided i'm no longer mental, i'm sure he'll understand... whatever though, i can sleep now and hold my drink again, so its all good.
remind me to visit my nan tomorrow.
