Firstly happy new year to all my readers. I turned 21 yesterday having somewhat quiet celebrations. Been a very mixed Christmas and new year, what with Brighton suddenly playing like crap, making me feel like going off football, and catching a bus over to East Grinstead to watch top flight Hockey action from East Grinstead HC. Anyway I bumped into a few old school mates at Haywards Heath recently, and am planning a kind of reunion, as one of my old teachers the legendary Mr Jenkins is moving up to Haywards Heath, and have a kind of reunion at some Mid Sussex pub it would be fitting seeing my old school Abbotsford recently closed. I did go to a Albion match the dreadful wet and windy game against Carlisle. In the East Stand with the likes of Ashley Bradley, and Chris Tipple, we got soaked in the first half, along with some fine girls in the stand that always has about 10 people, then got blown away by the wind in the second half. New Years Eve was a laugh I decided to escape from my Middle Aged neighbours and fetch a train down to Brighton. I attended a free party at Pressure Point, had a lot of fun, a few drinks and a mystery girl that used a make up pencil to draw on half the people at the club including yours truly. I was worried for a minute she was going to turn me into some kind of goth. I must have looked like some weird freak with the black marks down the left side of my face. I even scared a group of people as I was heading to Brighton Station to fetch the train home, who thought I was cut. Anyway I also saw that New Years Eve can bring out the scary side of people, I had a lady with a guy near the seafront approach me and kiss me on the cheek in front of what looked like her boyfriend. I also had a guy play wrestle me. Huh what scenes.

I was hoping someone could guide me to a decent after party somewhere in Brighton but sadly was not to be even though the dontstayin website said there would be a few. So headed home and did not escape my bed til about 2pm. Not long to go now until I return to the fine centre of education that is Central Sussex Haywards Heath. Plus looking forward to the Albions visit to Upton Park. Plus need to give my place a right tidy up. Along with homework anyway take care my friends.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I certainly did, I stayed round my parents from Saturday until yesterday. It is always nice to spend Christmas with your parents and is the biggest Christmas present for me. Surprisingly I have seen a few good movies over the Christmas period compared to the past few years, I loved Van Helsing, seeing Kate Beckingsdale, running about in that fine leather a movie I have wanted to watch for some time. In addition to Pirates of the Carabean with Keira Knightley. Although not as much decent comedy as I had hoped. I got all the nessecery stuff needed to get through life over Christmas. I am looking forward to the big match on Friday seeing the Crocs take on the Frutos mob. Should be a fun and entertaining game. Plus got 2 birthdays and the new years eve to ponder. The 30th being my mothers and the 2nd January sadly being my birthday. Whatever you do make sure you do not have kids that are born between 2nd and the 9th January as it can be a dull and boring experience having your annual celebrations of your debut appearence in life, due to everyone still having hangovers and being skint over new years eve. Well hopefully  will get a ticket to attend Albion VS Carlisle, though also pondering going clubbing new years eve. Plus looking forward to the tennis season starting next week, with the Aus Open coming up, and hopefully will get tonnes of coverage on Freeview so may sleep in the afternoon and evening and watch the tennis late at night bush eyed while doing homework. Should be fun.

Just to start off rest in peace to Mick Dickins, who has sadly died. I have been a bit of a fan of his of his shows for a few years, and sad to hear he has died.  RIP M.Dickins 1946-2006

Anyway college has finished for me now, and will be going back on January 8th. Plus will be spending Christmas at my parents house. I managed somehow to get all my college work out of the way. Easing the fears about my work. I am hoping to chase a ticket for a end of month Seagulls match. While having nice big sleeps at home and not getting out until Midday. Plus I have managed to get a form of messenger sorted out so you can chat to me as whenever you want and can use any version including Yahoo etc.

Just one rant before I head off it seems like that Quizmania has mutated into lots of different call money game shows,(including the Mint and Cash4Call), it seems like the only thing on TV as I was flicking through the TV last night at about midnight. What is happening to British TV, is this really the future? If so not very nice. If it carrys on I think I will blow up all TVs. Considering the fact I barely get any Sussex or Brighton and Hove Albion news where I live.

Anyway seeing as this may be my last diary entry before Christmas. Happy Christmas everyone, and I am going to put up a mickey take panto of Jack And The Beanstalk, before Christmas. Its in the planning stages at the mo, and hoping it will come soon.

Happy Christmas and a happy new year. Charles
