Nov. 17th, 2007 11:00 pmWent over to the sorting office this morning to collect my copy of the new Helen Love album. It's FIVE STAR FANTASTIC. Giving it its second play right now and already I want to marry it. As well as plenty of the bubblegum punk disco pop we love them for, on several tracks Helen does the witty gritty half-spoken half-sung observations on life that Lily Allen, Kate Nash and The Streets do - only she does it so much better. *mwah*
Hawks v Fisher this afternoon. The kit crisis Trevor alluded to last Sunday is worse than he mentioned - it was announced on the club website this week that the team's home shirts, now in their second season, have been deteriorating through wear and tear to the point that there soon won't be a full wearable set left, and the suppliers aren't able to produce any more. So we, the fans, get to vote on one of two temporary designs for the team to play in for the rest of the season. To avoid accusations of money-grubbing, the stopgap kit won't be put on sale. Of the two, I prefer a natty white shirt from Joma with a couple of little gold flashes. Casting my vote in the club shop, I heard a couple of other guys saying they love that one too, so fingers crossed.
My shortage of funds for the rest of the month meant I had to go without my pre-match Magners, but that woe was forgotten in the second minute when Richard Pacquette scored with a chip from a perfect Neil Sharp pass. Rocky Baptiste was out injured, so Craig Watkins partnered Richard and the team actually played a lot better than in recent games. The idea would have been heresy not long ago, but I really think it's time to give Rocky a free transfer (though obviously we shouldn't turn down a few quid if offered). As well as Craig coming back, we've got the new guy Chamal Fenelon - a big rough Emile Heskey-type striker - and of course we still have Jamie Slabber, so Rocky, who's been a shadow of his former self this season, is really no longer needed - although I have to concede Richard Pacquette missed several sitters this afternoon. The game was evenly matched, Simon Overland in the Fisher goal played a blinder - but so did Kevin Scriven :) It remained 1-0 to the Hawks.
To Stubbington in the evening to see the Lee Players do Ladies Who Lunch. Amanda was brilliant and the whole play was very amusing and interesting. The story was of three women, all involved in a famine relief charity and all married to major league business tycoons, who decide to raise funds for the charity with a little insider dealing behind their husbands' backs. Things look black when the Securities & Exchange Commission get a whiff and the ladies' husbands twig what's been going on, but our heroines have one more trump card to play... A very pleasant evening's entertainment. I sat in the front row; as the cast took their bow, I think Amanda spotted me.
Home to learn that Holland had beaten Luxembourg 1-0 and ARE GOING TO EURO 2008!!!
One Lion on a shirt
Henri Delaunay gleaming
Twenty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming!
HUP HOLLAND HUP!
Have a nice night, y'all.
