A blog mostly about my family. Though I also rant about other things, work, music, films etc.

I've heard that Mesut Ozil assisted the nurses during his own delivery.
We won again. I am not used to this. Giroud is playing and scoring, Ramsey is just amazing and of course, there is Ozil. This time last year, we lost to Norwich, not so this time. Our midfield is amazing, though we miss the width that injuries have cost us. Do I think that we will win the league this season? No, but I do think that we have a small chance.

Saw #NHS is trending on Twitter and wanted to tweet about it. But found out there's a 6 hour waiting time.
GP opening hours are in the news again. The Guardian have published an article stating that GP's are not keen on the idea of opening eight till eight seven days a week. Strange that. Well, I live in Colchester and we have access to a surgery that is open from seven in the morning till ten at night seven days a week.
Despite the North Colchester Healthcare Centre covering all of Colchester, even though it has good ratings on the NHS choices website, it does not have that many patients registered there. One could argue that this is proof, that in Colchester at least, such extended hours are not needed. With all the pressures being put on GP's in the UK, is it any wonder that more and more are leaving the country?

America was not shut down properly. Would you like to start America in safe mode, with free healthcare & without the guns? (Recommended)
As some of you know I am in favour of the reforms that the right in the USA are trying so hard to prevent from helping America.And as so many people know, the right have several alternative suggestions, none of which have ever been shown to have worked elsewhere. And the reforms Obama wants for America have already been proven to work...

So the Daily Mail, the paper that supported fascism, says that a man who fought against Hitler hated the UK...
Well, the Daily Mail, or as I prefer to call it, the Daily Malicious, has had a go at an immigrant who served in the Royal Navy in the second world war, for what he wrote when he was a teenager, and (shock horror) for having left wing views. This is a paper which has supported fascism. A paper which from what I understand has yet to apologise for this view. An issue which has been raised by many, including those in the Conservative Party.
While there are many issues in the hate ridden article that they published, the facts are simple. The Mail owned by by Lord Rothmere, who supported Hitler in the 1930's was a supporter of the far right. Ralph Miliband was against Hitler and fascism and served our nation in the fight against them. Make of that what you will.

In 11 years at Everton manager David Moyes failed to get them above Manchester United in the league. This year he has managed it in just 6 games.
An interesting weekend football wise. Arsenal won. Again! We are top of the league! I doubt it will last long, we have to play some hard teams and of course, there is Southampton who are a team that can be underestimated. I guess the result of the Scum and Chelski was the best available as well, interesting with the red card being given in that match considering that the player should have been sent off when he got his yelllow!Anyway, my wife, who has been ill recently, is getting better. I had to do the school run in the afternoon during the week, which while hard for me from a work perspective, was amazing when it comes to being a father. Moments like that are moments I have to treasure as they do grow up so fast!
Anyway, I hope you like the advert. Many fell for it and ruined their phones! I found it amusing.

Mezut Ozil has announced he joined Arsenal cause he wants to pick up trophies. He's going to be as disappointed as the time I went to a gay club and tried to pick up women.
Well, we did win something last season, the best Premier league photo of last season. Okay, we did not win it, a photographer called Adrian Dennis did, but the photo featured us and that has to count for something right?
Saying that, at the moment, things are looking good. We won away to Sunderland thanks to a dodgy referee decision. Sunderland had scored a goal that should have put them level at 2-2, the referee had already blown for a free kick when he could have played advantage, which could be argued to be one bad decision, but as a goal was scored, which he disallowed, technically it was a goal scoring opportunity and therefore I feel that we should have been down to ten men, which means that Ramsey would probably not have scored his second goal to make things 3-1. Last season we gained quite a few points thanks to decisions going our way, which makes a change as in previous seasons we actually lose quite a few points due to this. Instead that well loved right winger was sent off instead! Our new signing was great and it is nice to be top of the table, be it only for less than twenty four hours.

Red Sky July at Little Rabbit Barn
Last night was a great night, a trip to watch Red Sky July again, and again at Little Rabbit Barn which is a great place to listen to them. Last year we decided to go back again to listen to other acts, and so far we have not, but both my wife and I intend to go back again if we can. Then the acts before Red Sky July was a girl, her brother helping as well, Rafferty & Logan McKelvey and they were then followed by Jakob Deist. Jakob Deist was on last night as well as a joung girl called Hannah Kessler. As before, I loved the night.
Thanks to my Mum for baby sitting the kids who seem to have adapted well to going back to school. My daughter is now in the Juniors and is about to experience the loss of her last break soon. The kids seem to be settling into their new classes and I will get to meet the teachers later this month. My wife has met at least one before. Anyway, time to go now...
