Inspired by Movember I decided to get my prostate examined. I got two thumbs up.

Well it is Movember, or rather, it is coming to the end of it.  I was going to take part, but kept forgetting to not shave my moustache off!  One of my friends however has managed to keep his and while he has yet to update his photo on his page, I have been sent an updated image from my spies.  As you can see, he has just been told that at the end of the month, he is to have every hair plucked out one by one...

MISSING: Tottenham Hotspur's defence, last seen at around 13:00 at the Emirates Stadium. Please return to Andre Villas-Boas if found.

Evening all.  Just a quick post.  Arsenal are playing again, this time against Montpellier, a game I think we could lose. We can not afford to. I do not want to be in the position of Chelski or Man 5hitty (at the time of this post) and have to depend on the results of others in order to get out of the group stages. Mind you, Chelski are now on a new manager, Rafael Benítez being the ninth manager that Chelski have had while owned by Roman Abramovich. I do have a lot of respect for him, though if he will last or not will be interesting. As everyone knows, Roman Abramovich is waiting for Pep Guardiola, though I think that the only reason a manger would go to Chelski would be to get the payout that they will be entitled to if they are sacked.  Mind you I do think that he is one of the few managers I would have at Arsenal.

 Anyway, this week at work, on Monday when I went in, I did have to make a cheeky comment to the manager at work. I mentioned that I had been looking for the score on-line, but they kept on showing last seasons score! It was an interesting match, one which we may have lost, but for Emmanuel Adebayor, our old striker, and now someone that many people hate. I do not think that he deserved any abuse while wearing an Arsenal shirt. When someone is playing for us, we support them for they are wearing an Arsenal shirt. Now, that he is playing for the Scum, yes, he deserves the abuse. Anyway, it was a match I was dreading. After letting in so many goals I do not trust our defence.

On the topic of work, still loving it. Was doing paperwork today when I was asked to step up and see patients to cover illness. The thing about this place is that everyone does work as a team. Unlike my old place. There when there was illness, others would want to help and cover, but there would always be a reason why they were not able to. Here, that is not the case. Yes I am working a lot harder than before, but I am a lot happier and not as stressed.

 Now, the kids, I guess I really must post about them! Since my last post, my son has been at a party. When there a girl kept trying to kiss him. He decided that he had enough and decided to move. Rather than move his chair though, he got the girl who wanted to kiss him to move it for him! My daughter has been to the Ipswich Transport Museum and loved it there this week. And the two of them are now being taught the basics of chess. I have to try and do it when they are not tired as when they are, they only can deal with winning.

Anyway, take care all.  I will try to post more about the kids the next time.

This year, for Halloween, I'm going to dress as a character from Scooby Doo and run around taking people's masks off.

Three years after the death of Michael Jackson I still find it hard to cope with the realisation we'll never know if Annie was okay or not?
Well, it has been too long since posting about the family.  Since my last post, we have had Halloween as well as Fireworks.  Halloween was great.  The kids loved knocking on doors getting sweets.  This being half term, they loved it even more as they not only got to stay up late, but eat some of the sweets.  And for bonfire night, they went to a fireworks party.  That week, I also set off some fireworks in the garden.  They loved that as well.  Anyway, time to go to bed.  Sorry that I have not posted more on the kids.  Night all.

"And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling minorities, women and gays!" - Mitt Romney

Apparently Mrs Romney is overjoyed at Obama's victory, as now she won't have to move into a smaller house.

David Cameron: "I look forward to working with Barack Obama for the next four years."
Two years, Dave, two years.

"It doesn't matter if you're Black or White, Hispanic or Asian, Gay or Straight young or Old..."
Obama's turned into Michael Jackson.

After spending over a billion dollars to get reelected, I wonder if Obama will get the Nobel Prize for economics this term.

Mixed messages from two black role models last week.
After a long battle against millionaire Mitt Romney and the racism of America, a victorious Barack Obama stood tall.
After a little tug on his shirt, Mario Balotelli fell over.

How could I note make a post about the election victory? I did mean to post it last week, but to be fair, I just have not had the time. But better late than never!
