Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Newspaper sports pages

It would be very refreshing to see an entire set of sports pages of any newspaper with no mention on football. Sport in the UK is now more of less equated with football. I know that cricket, rugby, athletics, the Olympics, tennis and golf get their time in the sunonce or twice a year, but even then they are in competition with news of transfers in the 2nd Division, or the latest brawl, sexual shenanigans, banal statement, formation discussion, argument, tiff or merchandising deal from the overpaid, under-talented, deskilled, goldfish bowl dwelling, precious, temperamental, spolied, usually foreign unfit role models in the Premiership.
