Strike Factory

Well the flat is certainly mine and as from Monday will be the new third Strike Towers HQ taking over from the current one at Ifield! It brings to an end nearly 4 years residence at Strike Towers II since arriving in June 2006! In that time I have met many people of different walks of life from Eamonn Rea, Jason Lightbody to Lido Chitza! It has been a pleasure to meet you guys.

There has been some great memorys from this place I will take from this place which houses a wonderful 17th century Quaker House! It has entertained some fine guests down the years! But I very much look forward to Strike Towers III which is on the very outer fringes of Crawley not far from the wonderful village of Copthorne!

So don’t be surprised if this website goes a little quiet the next month as I try and settle down at new home whilst initially having little money! Once I have settled down will start looking for work, hopefully with more government schemes being more helpful to young people like me!

Well the last week has been pretty confusing regarding the flat. I got told by last Friday I would hear about the flat, but did not get told until Monday. On Monday hostel manager Val rang up Moat Housing Assocatition, and heard apparently due to supposed ‘problems’ the flat had it would only be used as emergency accomadation, and I would have to bid for another one. Most of this week I have been a bit down as a result and quiet. I was about to slag off Moat Housing (don’t worry I am just joking), when on Friday Valerie informed me that Moat Housing had rung up and said that the flat is suitable to live in and invited me to an interview and viewing of the flat finally next week. Hopefully the flat should be in a reasonable state and not as bad as they were earlier making out.

I have been recently amazed watching a recent interview how more stunning Anna Kournikova seems than when she was a tennis pro. As the famous PE teacher Francis Fahey once said, she will get better with age just a shame her tennis did not. As some fans and friends will know from school days, Anna Kournikova was a fave blonde Russian tennis star of mine who was top 10 in singles (despite not winning a WTA singles title), and a doubles star. But it not just her playing ablility wowing crowds of teenage boys and adult men in packed stadiums for other reasons in a short tennis career during late 90’s and early 00’s. She was one of my first crushes (we all have them don’t we guys) I had a massive fondness for (although I did not go stalking her or sending endless love letters and naked pictures of myself to her). So much so that it became common at school for pupils and teachers to believe in the myth that Anna Kournikova was the secret girlfriend of yours truly, especially when they discovered the odd photo of the girl in sexy Adidas tennis attire amongst my school work!

I once received a supposed email newsletter mentioning of her having a relationship with a Sussex schoolboy called Charles Ball (then aged 14 and certainly illegal for Miss Kournikova to date unless we escaped to Canada or some other country). To this day no one has claimed responsibility for the email newsletter, although I think I know very well who was behind it at school. I can safely confirm that sadly I have never met or had a relationship with Miss Anna Kournikova. But anyway here is the nice interview discussing what she gets up to nowadays courtesy of World Tennis Magazine! http://www.worldtennismagazine.com/archives/431

Been a bit quiet the last month, though should find out today what is going on with the new proposed Strike Towers, yes my flat. If no new news then will bid for another flat in Creepy Crawley, as can’t wait much longer and being in eternal limbo.

Has been a fair bit of activity the last week, I assisted Connexion’s in helping them find a replacement worker, to help with their services at the Crawley branch, being the interviewer of three candidates eventually going to a lady called Heidi who I bizarrely predicted the person being called (I did not know who the candidates would be at the time) last week in the presence of three girls I was working with on rehearsals for interview.

I also attended the Charlton VS Brighton match at the Valley which saw the mighty Seagulls pull off a great key win, being in the company of legends I had not seen for a while like Paul Hayward, Scott McCarthy, Neil Kane and faintly Ben Miller. I incredibly saved about 8 quid, thanks to the advice of a wise lady at Three Bridges ticket station and a generous Seagulls fan on the London Bridge to Dartford train with spare ticket five pounds cheaper and saving a lot of queuing time outside the ground.

UPDATE ON THE FLAT SHOULD COME SOON WITH MR BALLS DECISION WITHIN 24 HOURS!
