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!

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

Sport

Just posted as a comment to Anna's blog.

I'm in for any big sports event. Or indeed small. I was bored one Saturday and went to see Oxford play Shrewsbury. The only thing pleasant about it was that it gave me the opportunity to feel very superior to lots of people, i.e., the expletive-spraying baying, nylon-clad denizens of the end of Oxford's stadium that doesn't simply comprise of a fence.

Far better in the away end watching Oxford vs Boston.

I also saw the second half of Didcot Town playing Reading in a friendly on Ladygrove.

Mind you, when the Olympics come to London, I intend to see as much as I possibly can. Rafferty will get taken whether he likes it or not!
