Evening all.  

Quick post on the kids. Got home (late) to find my lovely wife getting them ready for bed.  She did not yell at me for not warning her that I was going to be late (I must watch to see if she gets me back later) and I got the easy job of putting them to bed and reading them a story.  Before I did so, I did my usual of getting my kids to speak to my mother on my mobile camera with her using the web cam.  Which reminds me, must set that up for my wife's parents.  Anyway, there was an altercation between the two as to which book should be read.  My son wanted "Shhh!" to be read first of all, but then changed his mind and wanted to read "Were going on a bear hunt" which my daughter did not want to have read to her.  Well, after much tears and screaming, a great solution was found. My daughter read "We're going on a bear hunt" to her brother, before I read "Shhh!" to them with them both helping to open the flaps, or turn the pages.  Anyway it was wonderful to watch them, my son listening to my daughter read him the story.  Anyway, good night all. 

I want patience... AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!

And I love the video below from a comedy show from a while ago called Green Wing.

Anyway, time to post on the family.  Today is Wednesday, which is becoming one of my favourite days.  I go to work early, and them come home.  I get to take my daughter to school, and then take my son to pre-school.  I then go to work, do more paper work.  Come home for lunch, after picking my son up.  Go back to work, and then come back to collect my daughter from school.  Of course, I am not meant to do things like forget my daughters PE kit which I did today, nor her book bag, or her water bottle.  Bad father.  But despite making her cry in the playground when I took her sweets from her (she wanted to take them into school which was not allowed), she forgave me when I had come to pick her up.  Hopefully next week I will a) not make her cry and b) not forget her things.

Anyway, time to go to bed in a moment.  I am watching the highlights from the cricket world cup.  Not my favourite sport, but the match is meant to be a memorable one.  


And then onto football.  Poor Alex Ferguson has been moaning that the referee was not strong enough in the game where Chelski beat ManUre.  Makes a change considering that Rooney should not have even been playing as well as the way that referees seem to favour his team over others.  Arsenal have won against Leyton Orient, and I will tape the highlights to watch at a later date.  It is nice to win, especially against a team that was hoping to take advantage of our recent defeat.  Hopefully, we will not sustain any more injuries in the run up to the game against Barcelona.  Anyway, good night all.  Enjoy the video.



Not One, but Two Blondes
Two blondes were walking through the woods and came upon a set of tracks. One blonde said that they were deer tracks. The other blonde said that they were moose tracks.
They were still arguing when the train hit 'em.

My dog does a somersault everytime Man Ure score a goal. Sometimes he does two somersaults, it depends how hard I kick him.

At least ManUre lost.

What do Arsenal and a werewolf have in common? Both are allergic to silver.

Apart from the football result, it was a good weekend. I worked as usual on Saturday, and on Sunday I took the kids down to London and we had lunch with my Mum and two brothers. The kids loved it as they lap up the attention and also met Dougal, the dog. And afterwards my Mum came up to baby sit while my wife and I got a chance to go out. We stayed out late and I may have drunk a bit too much!

But the kids loved having my Mum up. They know that Gran is there to charm, to love and to love them. We are lucky in that the kids have two great Grandmothers. My Father-in-law is great with them as well. A shame I guess about my own Dad, but three out of four ain't bad!

First France lose to England in the rugby, then they lose to Birmingham in the final! Granddad will be happy!

Right, first of all, well done Birmingham City. They deserved to have scored more that one goal by half time, Arsenal getting lucky with an offside/penalty decision.

We did not miss Fabregas, we missed Theo. And hopefully he will be back in time for the match against Barcelona. Before the match I was not too optimistic knowing that we have a poor record in the League Cup especially against 'weaker' teams winning it only twice (against Liverpool & Sheffield Wednesday) while getting beaten in the final against teams like Swindon Town and Luton. Of course Chelski beat us as well a few years ago, but that was against what was effectively a youth team.

Anyway, time to go and I will post about the kids later. (Sob.)

Pre-Season: The time of year when Arsenal win a trophy

As an Arsenal fan I was asked what my ideal outcome would be in a Manure-Chelski game. Apparently a terrorist attack is not a valid response...
