Can anyone help with my crossword? Clue is: North London's 2nd biggest football club... 2 up, 5 down?




Evening all. I am posting while my wife is watching Whitechapel. There are times that we actually see things that we have seen when we lived in the East End. Mind you, I say my wife is watching it, there are times that she has been under the duvet. I expect pain when she reads this, but it will be worth it.  Like when she realises I have posted a song by Maria McKee, a song she meant to buy many years ago, instead buying a song by Mariah Carey.

Unfortunately she has not been too well today, and I had to pick up the kids. My son was at nursery, my daughter was at school. Neither expected it, and both loved the surprise. And on the topic of my daughter, she, with another boy in her class is now reading the most advanced books in the class. She did not mention this to me when I picked her up though, instead waiting until I had gone back to work to mention this to her mother. But, I am still very proud of her.

Anyway, the telly calls.  Good night.

I'd like to say high 5-2 all the Spurs fans out there!

Well, I have to make my post.  And yes, we won.  To be fair, I had told work that I might be ill tomorrow, so much faith I had in my team.  And I am very grateful that the team that I should have had more faith in won the game.  Of course, we still have a big points gap to pull back if we are to finish above Spurs.  And it will be fun watching Match of the Day 2 later. 

I have been trying to get the kids to like football, my wife though has started to get them into rugby.  They were watching our defeat to Wales when I left to work yesterday.  I still hope they will fall for the beautiful game, but I suspect that they are going to be brainwashed into rugby instead. And more on them another day.

Too many times watched, Star Wars I think I have.


Quick post before I go to work, took my daughter to The Phantom Menace today.  My son instead went to the second party this week, not his own of course, though his birthday will be coming up soon.  Which reminds me, must get him a present...



R2D2 was the most vulgar character in Star Wars.
They bleeped out every word he said.


Star Wars 3D... I will not be watching it as I have not seen Star Wars 3A, 3B or 3C yet.

In the space of 2 weeks, a certain singer from Tottenham, has won more awards then her football team has won in 130 years


Well, this joke did make me laugh! Anyway, the kids. As usual on a Wednesday (last week being an exception) I worked, but took my daughter to school. She loves using her scooter and is getting much better with it. My wife took my son to his pre-school by car as I was to drop her off in town so that she could have her hair done. Went back to work, picked up my son, letting him use his scooter to get home, collected my wife, had lunch, went home, worked while my son watched Ben 10 and then we all went to collect my daughter. And then we took the kids to watch a film. My daughter guessed that we were to watch a film, but they had no idea that it was to be the Muppets. And I have to say, it was a good film. The thing with a good childrens film is that I feel that it must have something for adults as well as children. Yes, this film did have its groaning jokes, but this is the Muppets. And not only did my wife and I like it, but the kids loved it as well. This is a film that is worthy of the Muppet name, and of course, it annoyed FAUX news who claimed that this was a socialist film. Bless.

I can now pay £7.50 to see the Muppets...
...Better than paying £30 to see them at the Grove. (The Emirates to non-Arsenal fans.)

What are Arsène Wenger's least favourite chocolates?
Celebrations.

A pound coin was thrown onto the pitch at Ibrox. Police are trying to determine whether it was a missile or a takeover bid.

And last of all, a quick rant about Arsenal. Arsène Wenger apparently is to be given £55 million to spend. When you recall that Nasri was sold for £24 million, that means two players. Great.

After a terrible start to 2012 for Arsenal, an injury crisis and confidence at an all time low, there seems to be hope on the horizon and some good news at last. Squillaci is injured.


Sigh.  We lost again.  And unlike our manager, I do not think that we were unlucky.  I went out with my wife last night, and had got back into a good mood by the time that we left.  Needless to say I was annoyed with the results.  I knew that Sunderland would be a hard match and I was surprised to get the three points last weekend there.  And I can not blame this one on a lack of pace as both our pacy players were on the pitch. And we still lost.
Anyway, to today.  The kids loved spending the morning with my mother, which was great as my wife and I needed the rest after an enjoyable night out.  (We got to play table football!)  Woke up to find my mother reading them story after story after story.  They had tried to be quiet, but lets face it, they are kids, and small ones at that.  So they failed.  But, once I woke up, I took the kids downstairs and my wife got some more sleep.  Later, my Mum wanted a walk with the kids (it was a beautiful day) so my son used his scooter and my daughter her bike, to get to the shops.  They loved that, they being the kids as well as my Mother.  Later we went to see one of my uncles, who I have not seen in ages, literally years (my fault really) and the kids, were really well behaved and then spent time with one of my cousins who was brilliant keeping them occupied.  The picture above is one that my daughter made then.

Anyway, time to go, hope you all take care.

Despite losing 4-0 in Italy to AC Milan , Wenger claims he is not angry and feels that the Arsenal players did work hard during the game... And as a reward for their hard work he has bought them all a ticket for a ride on an Italian cruise ship.


Afternoon all.  I am still in shock after the abject display by Arsenal during the week.  I have yet to switch on the FA cup game against Sunderland.  I am not too optimistic.  While at work, some have laughed at me, worse, I have got loads of sympathy!  If only both Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott and played from the start.

Anyway, I have my mother up today.  The kids are loving it.  Tonight, we get to go out, my Mother kindly agreeing to baby sit.  Tomorrow, no doubt I will have a headache.  Right now they are quiet.  Which normally means trouble, but today it is because they are playing with Lego.  The picture above has been drawn by my daughter.  I have decided to post more of what both of them draw up here on the blog.  Take care all...

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?


Evening all. I am watching Arsenal lose. Which is annoying. When the draw was made, I felt it was a good draw. I think that the team does better when we play against teams that play football against us. Unfortunately, it has not been the case today. We have not played with the pace that stretches teams, and more importantly, tires them out. With two great players with pace, I would have thought that we would have torn AC Milan to shreds. Unfortunately, only one of them started the game, and he has now been taken off. It does not look good even though the other is a sub.

Anyway, today. As noted yesterday, we had been thinking about travelling to Legoland, only to find out that it is closed this month. So instead, we went to Woburn Safari Park. The kids did not know where they were going, and they loved it. The drive there was interesting. A lorry crashed on the M25 so we had to make a few detours, both on the way there and as there was still traffic issues on the way back as well.  When we arrived, the kids loved it. 

Anyway, we are back now.  Tired and the kids are in bed.  My wife is upstairs having decided not to watch the match, which is great in someways as she would just be laughing at me.  Just like the laughs that will happen tomorrow...




And something to make you laugh.
