I love live sport in most cases, and especially football. The atmosphere is variable – it depends on a whole host of things like the state of the game, the number of people in attendance, the weather and the state of the economy.

But I love going to football regardless of the atmosphere.

Watching it on the television though needs a crowd in the stadium to make it work. Which is why I can’t understand the prices being charged.

sensible pricing leads to larger crowds and better atmosphere.

flags and stuff help but not as much as good banter, good people and lots of them.

Scan on a Sunday

GP appointment at 7.30 in the morning.

Non of this demanded – all surprising.

Im not sure it adds too much to my convenience – in some ways appointments on a Sunday throw your weekend out of kilter.

All routine stuff – all rapidly and efficiently done with a smile.

The only time I don’t feel happy about the NHS is when I see politicians trying to shred it into pieces for the benefit of corporations…

The world remains a wonderful place. Confused, conflicted, benign, dull, dangerous…

And it that, not much changes…

Today was an Old East To Old West day in Germany. Remnants of a state that thought differently about society exist.

The fact that the changes largely came about peacefully shouldn’t be ignored.

Mans neither should the current descent to war.

Not much changes…

Yesterday I didn’t drive. That’s an unusual day when at home. I did get a haircut.

When I mentioned that I’d seen the barber’s Facebook page offering ‘beautiful hair for Christmas’ Lee went a bit pale. No idea why. He gave my head a bit of a polish and away we went…

Anyway, today is a travel day.  Off to Birmingham, plane to Hamburg then a drive to Rostock. I suppose I should pack… But if I did I’m not sure the urgency is within me to pack the right stuff…

So I’ll wait a while and see when the mood takes me…

It’s Autumn

In England

And the weather is Miserable

So we’ve made some progress on the office and done some work

But I’d still have preferred a sunnier day

What is the point?  Retailers flogging things they haven’t sold at knock down prices is one thing.

People fighting to get their hands on stuff is something else entirely.  If people want to fight over stuff then the world has gone mad…

Sorry, that assumed that the world isn’t a mad place already.  It’s crazy.

But we don’t have to subscribe to the madness.

We Fight Any Claim are an utter pain in the Arse. Total and utter nightmare.

They call, you answer, they go through a script and any deviations are rebutted.

The words ‘I’m not interested in talking to you so please go away’ are met with ‘can we talk to your wife who answered a survey’.

So, if by any chance you are from ‘We Fight Any Claim’ then please, stop behaving like an aggressive drunk and go away. No one is impressed, no one is interested and you are too late to the party…

It’s been a long week with nights away, 4 flights, meetings, computer update fun and games and associated late nights/ frustration, etc.

Early breakfast meeting, early get up to sort the dog out and finally today a long lie-in…

9am… Some of the best things in life are indeed free…
