It’s been a busy time of it here. Last week I tried to fight through a three-day headache, thereafter all went well. This weekend was a bit worn out, but re-energised with going out yesterday.

Dundee Utd vs. St Johnstone (rescheduled SPFL match)

... and we (DUFC) got unstuck, losing 1-0 to St Johnstone after a rare mistake from our goalie Rado. Although denied a fair few penalties, the referee seemed to lose it in the 2nd half - both managers sent to the stand. Sounds like a brisky one but I'm not comvinced based on commentary. Oh well ( Read more... )

I genuinely suspect that March might well be the “died too early” month. Cast your mind back 10 years now - I had my plans in mind so I wasn’t quite following everything as I should have done. Having said that, the death of Tom Wilson (9th October 1951-25th March 2004) is another of those legends. Now the l-word is used far too often in music, ( Read more... )

So - it’s been far too long since my last blog post.

We’ve had ups and downs, as ever…

Hello everyone - and Happy New Year!

Both of us have had various bugs on and off since the beginning of December last, but they are now starting to pass, and we should both be fit for work tomorrow!

I want to talk briefly about Dundee United now - and I do tweet sometimes while listening to live games. Over here on LJ though, I can speak more ( Read more... )

Hello everyone!

It’s been quite a while since I have done one of these! Indeed even my partner cmmathieson has said I do one every year, and she’s posted for the first time in ages. Do read, as it will catch you up with her.

It’s coming up to a couple of special dates, and I’ve been looking around the past few years on LJ (and Blogger pre-1997), for reasons ( Read more... )

As some of you who have known me longer might well know, my medical history is a little, chequered, to say the least. Being flippant I often say you’d struggle to even make an index up to them on my current medical situations, on one side of A4/Letter size paper. Throw in my family, and C’s side, and you might not know where to start.

Well, was listening to the Dundee United vs. Celtic match this lunchtime, listening via Arabzone's own commentary  and watching the video stream via Sky online. We seemed to play better in the second half, but then managed to go a goal down. I then thought that was it - and when the second one went in, I was feeling a little hard done by! After ( Read more... )

Last Saturday (27th October) I’d intended to go from WGC on the 724 to Harlow, then on the X5 to Romford, then 370 to Lakeside, by bus. However, once we got to Harlow the wind and general chill meant I got a few things there instead, with a vow to return soon for the rest. So, today, Saturday 3rd November 2012, decided I’d go out to Lakeside once ( Read more... )
