MikeO Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just had a brilliant school report for Josh, second year running. He always struggled a bit at primary but he's stormed ahead since he moved up. Proud dad . Don't deserve it....I was a bastard at school and caused my parents all sorts of shite !

She got herself that fit she ran the London Marathon in 3hrs 50 mins (true), she couldn't do that now mind. I managed to do it in just over two and half hours, it would have been quicker but the tube was on strike By the way Mike I curled out another big one this morning, tis was like giving birth, the back end of it looked like Rafa, in fact it could have been Rafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 What are you laying it on flags timber frame or concrete? Putting down flags first and 3" square tanalised bearers on top of those.....the previous one was just on slabs but the floor got a bit damp because the drainage isn't great so I want it lifted up a bit with plenty of airflow underneath. Got nothing done today because we've been descended on by daughters and grandchildren as a mother's day surprise for the wife . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Was playing for my monday night team at the soccerdome tonight and a fella threatend to knock me out coz i kept winding him up, everytime they got a free kick i would kick the ball away slightly, he said thats 3 times, one more and i'll knock you out, i just saud its 2 mate, ive got two more attempts now God i love winding people up. Soccerdome as in, the one at the JJB? And the same to be honest, I play as a goalkeeper so it provides a lot of opportunities to wind up the attackers should I feel the need. I'm not a dirty player but its always nice to get the person back when they stamp on your ribs/head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Aye the one next door to the JJB, playing there again abit later, we have played 3 and won 3. first game - 17 -2 . Second game - 12 - 8 and third game 11- 5. Ive scored 6 goals over those 3 games which im contempt with, hoped to have more than that tbh. Well im playing there today and feeling very confident indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Ive scored 6 goals over those 3 games which im contempt with, hoped to have more than that tbh. Well good luck mate. I've done a few tournements down there over the years It's a great place that and its surprising how knackaring it gets sometimes. I stick to Sunday League now on the outdoor pitches. I've not been playing comptative at the JJB since Year 7 of High School. We drew 3-3 today after being 3-1 down with ten minutes to go. It's great playing like this too, when the suns out its awesome. I know that its not as important on the small pitches but where do you play Aaron? And you should be confident, those results sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoned at 6.30 this morning (not the baby obviously ) in the throes of labour waiting for an ambulance and the nipper was born on the way to hospital. Shot out no problem apparently....bloody women always going on about the pain of childbirth, nothing to it I don't reckon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
