17th August 2015

I am deciding to just focus on my work experience/ volunteering at Crawley CVS and Oxfam, until the end of August when I get referred to new people to help me seek long term employment and take over from the work of Shaw Trust. Sadly my last interview did not work out, so just focusing on things I am good at until and opportunity comes along. Plus I am wanting to try and find a girl, not easy with Asperger's though I am keen for someone to offer advice for my dating profiles in my spare time if anyone is interested?

Plus I have decided I am certainly not retiring from clubbing, it was just a heat of the moment thing I refuse to accept I am old and will be a raver within always just more careful with planning etc.

The football has been pretty impressive early in the season with Brighton winning their first two, and I travelled to Fulham, London to see them win 2-1 at Craven Cottage and as of the date of this post they are top of the table, though its early days.

Finally I was watching the first Football League Tonight episode (with Albion legend Adam Virgo as a pundit doing good work), and during a break they showed the Health Lottery. I was interested in where I recognised the smiley lovely female host of this Health Lottery show. I did some Google research and found out she is the legendary serial Youtube prankster Anna Johnson known for classic videos like this spoofing OMI cheerleader which has over 500,000 hits in a few months. Plus has many others lined up, certainly worth a visit to her Youtube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnJYBoHHjGhc1bH-BIVkoag

Fantasy Premier League entry

To mark the new season, I have decided for first time in a while to enter a team into fantasy football competition. Named Trumpton Ravers inspired by rave tune Urban Hypes Trip To Trumpton. I have set up a league if anyone wants to join also with this code 2325333-524258,  not sure I will get many entry's with poor last minute planning. I have also entered the Amy League run by Strike Factory fan Amy Willerton who met me last year, hoping to win the 'Battle Of The Sexes' League. 

Well I am off to cheer Brighton so see you all soon. :)

5th August 2015

So tomorrow yes I will be going for an interview for part time job with Trespass the Mountain and Winter clothing shop in Crawley. Hopefully it will go to plan and will be something that will give me experience, confidence etc.

Incidentally I visited Nyman's Gardens just outside the fine Sussex village of Handcross last week, for partly volunteering opportunities before the interview came up, as well as exploring the house and gardens. The gardens began when Ludwig Messel purchased the house and manor in 1890 and over 3 generations his family lived and continued to develop the house and gardens. The gardens have been opened to the public since the 1930s, though the main house was partly ruined by a fire in 1947 and 40 years later the Great Storm caused damage to the gardens but it has survived that and is still going strong under ownership of the National Trust. 11412131_10153391178469556_85389900584331017_n.jpg

 

The house was quite impressive even if half of it is ruins whilst the other half is well preserved and Anne Messel (famous for being the mother of the Earl Of Snowdon the former husband of Princess Margaret), was resident until her death in 1992. It's certainly worth a visit and I don't rule out volunteering in some form.

 

Finally the new football season is upon us, for me and fellow Brighton supporters it starts on Friday evening at home to Nottingham Forest. There has been some excitement around the club the last week or so, and its not simply the 1-0 victory in a friendly against Seville on Saturday, its the return of Bobby Zamora that has got me and many other Albion fans overexcited. Whether he is suscessful or not in this 3rd stint at the club (initially on loan in 1999-2000 season before signing for the club long term and playing from 2000-03), he will always be a legend giving the club a boost after a bad few years with protests losing our old ground, He banged in a load of goals with some workhorses helping him and the club to two suscessive promotions and Championships in the Football League in the early 2000's before leaving to carve out a suscessful career in the Premier League playing for England etc. I look forward to taking my seat at the Amex on Frieday.
