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

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

ESPN Classic

Absolutely stunning - I've just watched the 1973 game between Wales and Audtralia at the Arms Park. Gareth Edwards, JPR Williams, JJ Williams, Gerald Davies, Mervyn Davies, Phil Bennett, Allan Martin, Tom David, Bobby Windsor's first cap. Put that Welsh side up against anyone in World rugby today and they would wipe the floor with them. The Aussies were hapless that day, only last ditch tackling and a couple of missed final passes stopped it being a rout. Still, 24-0 in a very one sided international (4 pts for a try) was a satisfying result.

On a humerous note, Dick Cocks was playing in the back row for Australia.
