Thanks, I appreciate it

I lost a very good friend this weekend. I was with him only a few weeks ago. He was the heart of the ‘Engineering Society’, trips without him will not be the same. life is cruel

Oxford pub crawl :-)

Out with my boys in town tonight. Looking forward to it :-)

Today, purely by chance, I bumped into a friend I’d lost contact with about 10 years ago. Today was a good day :-)

An unexpected but not unwelcome night in tonight. Bring on the beer and crisps

Risborough Rangers v Potton Utd today. First time at the Kamtech Stadiim.

Watching Mix Tape on IPlayer. A bit melancholy but a banging 90’s soundtrack

Just finished season 2 of Black Snow on BBC iPlayer. Season 1 was brilliant so I had high hopes for season 2 and I wasn’t disappointed. Best tv series this year

Well, Tirana was fun. #engineeringsociety2025

It wouldn’t be an Engineering Society trip without walking nearly 20,000 steps every day :-)

Tomorrow, I’m going on the annual‘Engineering Society’ trip abroad. Something I look forward to every year :-)

Finally, Maidenhead Utd win a game this season. Definitely a game of two halves, first half they were shite, worst I’ve seen in about 10 years but the second half they were much better; a lot more fight and spirit. If they’d played that way in the first half, we’d have been out of sight by half time

Figured it out I think. Non- league still uses the white card, 10 minutes in the sin bin, hence he was able to take a penalty in the penalty shootout. Still got sent off for a 2nd yellow card during the penalty shootout though :-)

City of Liverpool had a player sent off in the 2nd half but he still took a penalty and scored and was then sent off again. How was he allowed to take a penalty in the first place? 2/2

So, went to watch Swallowfield FC v City of Liverpool FC in the FA Vase preliminary round. Good game and was all square after 90 minutes. Game went to penalties but am a bit confused.1/2

Really enjoyed the last 4 days in Krakow. Great place to visit

Auschwitz visit tomorrow

No, I wondered if they were your internet provider

Virgin Media

Virgin?

Good night out in Swindon (hard to believe maybe 😂) followed by a visit to the designer outlet village where I had to be careful I didn’t buy a whole new wardrobe

Sarah Pochin on Politics Live again, TV gold

Big day for my son Will (and me) today. He graduates from UWE with a well deserved 2:1. :-)

Going to try to get to games at Maidenhead Utd, Marlow and Swindon Town this season

Settling down to watch The Lions first test :-)

But still not far from bar :-)

Jake Tabor has signed for Swindon Town.

He had been playing at 9th tier Amersham Town where he scored 127 goals in 91 appearances!

You’re right. I’ve just seen it on the beeb. Big jump, as you said. Could be the next Jamie Vardy or Charlie Austin :-).

Has he actually signed? I heard he’s on trial for the pre-season but I also heard Barrow had offered him a contract and Crawley were in the mix as well somewhere
