Strike Factory

Sadly I had to decline an invitation to a stag night in Hamburg due to money reasons! I would have loved to go, but even more shockingly despite my vast knowledge of the world esp stuff about Germany etc I have never been outside the United Kingdom! Bad I know (sobs) but I will save up to eventually go abroad, but thanks for the invitation and possible ideas to sneak me to Germany Scott McCarthy and Piers Benjamin I appreciate your thoughts!

There is some good news however I have been invitated to do some work experience for St Catherines Hospice starting on Friday. This will continue alongside the current stuff I do at Oxfam though I still regard office admin as my strongest area but not much opportunity’s with that at the moment!

Apart from the football on Saturday meeting a few Albion fans that remarkably grew up on same street as me. Not a lot has generally gone on. The depressing weather and burning a few quid calling the lovely Indra Tola in Kenya has not helped!

Song that sums up my recent thoughts!

Deep Dish Future Of The Future

I am delighted the football season has kicked off and looks set to be one of the best and exciting seasons following Brighton for about 5 years now with the new stadium nearly open July 2011 and Gus Poyet building a side that looks capable of being play off contenders! Plus ex Albion star Zamora getting into England squad! Should generally be a fun exciting time as an Albion fan.

I was considering a spoof of Knightmare the last week but quietly scrapping it after a test roleplaying game (it was in the mind and following act not carried out in real life) involving Dan Rolf ended with him and his advisors throwing a empty jar of humbugs filled with p*ss at a boatman that offered them a lift! HUSKPIERPOINT!

Meanwhile work experience has resumed at Oxfam, Crawley with manager Colin randomly testing various strange toys including a Disney kids sound book where you can get it to make exciting sentences involving the word ‘Sticky’, and generally not a lot has gone on apart from attending Pride and due to poor communication on my part (typical of autism), struggled to find the legend that is Helen Trott, but was an OK afternoon otherwise.

Roll on Saturdays!!!

I have returned to Oxfam to voulenteer for Colin and co, about once or twice a week, and possibly helping out at St Catherines Hospice shop depending on interview tomorrow. I attended Scott McCarthys BBQ with its wonderful Steve McClaren theme, pass the parcel (which I won some batterys and desert fact book). It was another great BBQ'D hosted by the McCarthys and I stayed for the night to watch Dammed United with James Calver offering me valuable career advice, in return for knowledge on Three Bridges area of Crawley!

On Monday I witnessed Sussex beat Worcestershire convincingly in the Pro 40, the match saw the end of stalwart Robin Martin-Jenkins and the spectator debut of a new legend young Bruce Wells a young Englishman exiled in Southern France (near Calderons beloved Basque Country). He was honoured to be in the company of Mark Potter, Jamie Van Der Westhuizen etc!

I look forward to the return of the real football season, starting with Gus Poyets Albion taking on Aberdeen on Saturday! Plus the North American tennis season with the US Open!
