Hockey season finished. Finished 9th and only lost once since Christmas. Now time to give my aching legs a break for a few months!

Woke up in the middle of the night to find that the ceiling had collapsed down and water was everywhere! Plumber left at 5.00 am and have been trying to clear up since then. How’s your Saturday going?

Gosh. So there was no impact and all those horror stories turned out not to be true. I’m shocked and stunned!

Right, need to stop reading the news and cheer up. Hockey today against our local rivals who stitched us up with some real home team umpiring earlier this season. Could get spicy!!

BREAKING: The President has issued an emergency order to begin production on a remake of Rocky IV where Balboa joins forces with Ivan Drago to tag team Apollo Creed.

Funny how β€˜America First’ became β€˜well, Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal and Gaza but then we’ll certainly think about American issues’

It’s up there but Watkins managed so much more vertical lift than Terry

Ollie Watkins has just taken the worst penalty in football history. It’s ought to be physically impossible for that to happen

First day back at the office since November 26th! Loved being back with the wonderful Bluestripe team and squeeze in a lunch at The Union Club. All is well with the world!

I’d imagine we’re only hours away from Lee Anderson demanding the death penalty

Same. I also like the β€˜most people pay their tax on time’ note I got.

I see over on the hellsite weather warnings are now woke. Obviously

My hot take is that if you don’t want to be called a Nazi, perhaps don’t do Nazi salutes at globally broadcast events.

I am available for further indepth comments

Bear in mind that Trump will start his presidency with almost half a billion of dollars debt, mainly due to legal fines. Every bit of foreign policy will skew to making him money.

It got better. Hospital check up and then our boiler broke…

In turn, β€˜paid speakers’ need to up their game. No trotting out the same generic talk they do everywhere. I’m not opposed to paying speakers but I also totally disagree that people who speak for free always have something to sell as our recent events have shown
