Just old age, swelling still there but only a little pain. Battled on and went to work, god I am a trooper. Tonight went to Newark for a fixture meeting for next season it was like a cattle market, large room, 550 people, warm weather, yes it was oppressive, thank god the Guinness was cold. Only black spot of evening was the fact that we have drawn Wragby in the cup, bit of history there, little cretin I fell out with after Reffing home match last season, came over but I could not slag him off as he had a Liverpool shirt on, oh well.<br> <strong><em>Written while watching the excellent House with Hugh Laurie.</p> <p></em></strong> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/14/fixtures/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/14/fixtures/Thu, 14 Jul 2005 23:46:13 +0200 <p>Well I am glad he is staying, the season has started and he has bagged a hat-trick. Would have liked to have seen better than 3-0 but a wins a win.<img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/a/adlamitis/img/_41301343_goalone_ap300.jpg" border="0" alt=""> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/13/stevie_gerrard/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/13/stevie_gerrard/Wed, 13 Jul 2005 23:00:46 +0200 <p>Last night football training, firstly with the Under 10's, after promotion last year, thelads seem to be very keen for the new season to start. Then we moved on to the first team or seniors, which looks like it maybe harder work but there was a lot of enthusiasm last night. It's the first year for M and myself at that level so we'llhave to see how it goes. Been to Doctors this morning as my leg is very swollen, and he thinks it is a DVT, so have to go to hospital in Lincoln this afternoon, they cannot foitme in till 3.<br> Lovely day again, I hope all those people who were slating the Aussies have now taken a vow of silence, fools you should have listened </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/13/training_1/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/13/training_1/Wed, 13 Jul 2005 13:55:19 +0200 <p>Well a lovely day weather wise and really a very lazy day, had a new outside tap fitted this am, thanx to my very practical father in law, so then it was lunch so we opened a bottle of red, then another and the afternoon just seemed to drift away sitting on the terrace. He has gone home a little unsteadily so we'll be popular with MIL but hey ho.

Game only short, Rasen won by eight wickets knocking off runs needed in only nine overs.<a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/a/adlamitis/img/Rase-Park-0907a-1.jpg" title="Market Rasen Cricket Club"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/a/adlamitis/img/Rase-Park-0907a-1_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Market Rasen Cricket Club"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/09/saturday_6/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/09/saturday_6/Sat, 09 Jul 2005 18:33:53 +0200 <p>Hello yes I am back sure youhave all missed me and my opinions, no thought not. Well I have gained a friend, was beginning to feel like Billy no-mates, not many comments either. Well it's been a hell of a week, live8 was a great musical event, thought Pink Floyd and The Who certainly rolled back the years. Well done to all those concerned with winning the Olympic bid, never thought we would get it thought no one would vote for us because everybody hated us, one in the eye for Chirac so doubly good then. Then there was yesterday in London, I certainly do not have the vocabulary to sum up my feelings, anything I say would appear to be trite, so all I will say is that my thoughts are with all those families affected, and the rest of us should once again be grateful for what we have and thank our lucky stars.<br> On a personal front, my two eldest children got good school reports, in fact daughters was glowing, the most pleasing point was the teacher writing how wonderfully polite and helpful she is (presume she got the right girl).<br> Makes me a proud parent manners is all I ask for.</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/08/back_3/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/07/08/back_3/Fri, 08 Jul 2005 22:20:47 +0200 <p>Well it's started Paul McCartney and U2 were pretty damn good, ONE by U2 was just fantastic and Bono proves again what a fantastic frontman he is. Coldplay were even more fantastic than I thought they would be FIX YOU will go down as one of the great songs ever. Elton John was just Elton John and whoever told him it was a good idea to invite Pete Docherty was utterley wrong. What's that sound oh yes it's Marc Bolan turning in his grave. Kate Moss you need more help than your f**ked up boyfriend. Dido is now on, she's game I'll give her that as her music (good as it is) is hardly suited to massive open air gigs.

This is right up M street he is very sporty and won his main race the 60m sprint. He was in competition with his great mate L, who also plays in the local footy team with M, and it was very close, but the best thing of all was the two of them with arms around each others shoulders shaking hands after the race, great behaviour for nine year olds was very proud of both of them. C my daughter was not a happy bunny she is more of a princess type of girl (I would say she is a girly girl but would be accused of being sexist no doubt) so the tought of getting hot and sweaty fills her with dread and as she told me PE kits are not a good look Dad, should I worry when she says things like that at five years old. Anyway it was a good afternoon the sun shone and I think I have burnt the top of my head, which amuses my wife no end. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/28/sports_day_1/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/28/sports_day_1/Tue, 28 Jun 2005 21:04:03 +0200 <p>Bit light on the writing last week everything seemed to be going on but nothing got done if that makes any sense which I suspect that it does not. What has happened in the last week well Tim lost and all the papers decided he was a sad loser well what does he think he is doing losing on purpose just to spite the press. A Scot boy won a match and all of asudden he is agreat hope,his ranking 333 or near, Tim top ten, think about it you muppets in the press,Another thing Mr.Murrey do have a word with your coach he was pictured wearing a cap provided by The S*n please remember the Hillsborough Tragedy and support Justice Campaign for the 96 people who lost thier lives RIP. It's bad enough that the Canadian is sponsored by them. Glad I got that right off my chest. What else oh yes cricketers doing well so far, Lions not. The five times Euro Winners got lucky and have nearly a local derby against TNS, will leave footie alone till nearer the season. In my world work fairly average, staffing a little headache at the mo but no doubt it wil be sorted. Attended a gathering on Sat with other parents of our junior football team, I think M and I are invited for the cabaret when we have had a couple of beers, yes it was a good night. Sunday we took the children to the beach lovely day M,C & O had a ball, to kids Mablethorpe could be the greatest beach in the world. Well I seem to have rambled on at great length I will finish by bidding farewell to Richard Whiteley a Yorkshireman but hey you can't have everything seemed like an ok guy. Time to water the garden.

Phew well done in the end. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/21/tim/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/21/tim/Tue, 21 Jun 2005 19:08:46 +0200 <p>Fathers day yesterday thanks to my dear children (wife) for the lovely gifts and beautiful homemade cards with self written messages. If J should have the chance maybe he would sent any card even if it was insulting anything would be fantastic. J lives with his Mum away from my life completely not seen him since he was 18 months old and I miss him with an ache that I cannot explain. Anyway I made my bed I will lay in it and stop whinging.<br> Weather still great sorry for those people who had floods in Yorkshire last night it must have been terrible. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/20/dads/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/20/dads/Mon, 20 Jun 2005 22:22:21 +0200 <p>Lovely day yesterday weather warm friends good and beers cold ideal. Slept till lunch as had been to work at 3.30am so had a recharge it's been a long week work wise. Went to chill at M & S they have a good sized pool which all the kids love. Quaffed a few beers and a quality bottle of red.<br> S did a lovely chicken tikka masala and chick fajitas. All in all very pleasant.

So now I'll stop moaning about the weather and slap myself. So anyway the hanging baskets have bedded well and the new grass is coming on a treat, am I getting old when I get excited about my grass having it's first cut, yes I thought so.</p> <p>On another subject will anyone who has any authority please tell the nespapers not to get so carried away because the Aussies have lost a couple of games, for god's sake The Times today had a cut out and keep on how to play cricket, please please stop, they are better than us and we are just winding them up, it's madness.

I really must be getting old because we spent ages in the Garden Centre picking out plants to make up a couple of hanging baskets, and to show how good a gardener I am not, I did not pick up any compost<img src="/img/smilies/icon_censored.gif" alt=">:XX" class="middle" border="0">. Then took kids to see Grandma so they could see how a great garden looks. Youngest safely tucked up stories read, eldest gone too a mates he tore off as there is a new x-box game to be mastered!!!

A giant leap, even though last album was great this one moves on to the next level. It's a pity Oasis did not learn this after two great albums they have now developed into a parody of there former selves, Noel ditch the rest and do it all yourself you know it makes sense. So with Coldplay's recent success Stateside that must really make them the second biggest band in the world after U2 then. </p> <p><em>This was written while listening to X & Y by Coldplay.</p> <p><u><strong>Please feel free to comment I will respond.</strong></u></em> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/07/coldplay/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://adlamitis.blog.co.uk/2005/06/07/coldplay/Tue, 07 Jun 2005 20:13:42 +0200 <p>Good of Edwin Van Der Sar to sign a new contract with Fulham<br> in January, then walk away in June.

Was wondering if anyone knew of any other versions besides Gerry and the woeful G4 version. I also have several versions of crowds singing this anthem. Any offers gratefully recieved.
