Time is passing...

My Boy's are 19 going on 20 and 15 going on 16 and I am so proud of the both of them. Charlton have been relegated. I saw Muse the other week at the new Wembley Stadium, great event, fabulous show but hardly intimate - obviously!! Bought some tickets to see Arcade Fire at the Ally Pally in November, it'll be interesting to see how they respond to the larger venue (Ally Pally has a capacity of 9,000) but they were undaunted and typically splendid at Glastonbury last week. Loosing weight but still a long weigh to go. Off on holiday to Antigua soon - can't wait. Work is crazy and a bit scary at the moment but enjoyable, nonetheless. My local pub is a madhouse - a lot of people are living in some kind of pseudo soap opera. Generally in modern life there is too much swearing - 'fuck' and other such words should be a cuss not a casual adjective. Got the Banksy book for Father's Day (thank you James & Fran) and would recommend it to all. I've been a fan of Banksy for some years now and I find his work very humorous and very poignant. Why is Dianne Abbott such a horribly smug cow and don't you hate it when people talk with their eyes closed. This worrying characteristic was becoming sadly commonplace on MOTD interviews with Alan Curbishley before he departed to Wet Spam. Why does UK national politics mean so little nowadays and why is it that I am so concerned about the spread (cancer?) of rampant globalisation? Please could somebody ban Scientology as it's a complete load of bollocks and a worryingly comfortable sanctuary for too many of this society's vulnerable who may have been consumed by the cults of celebrity, voyeurism and conspiracy - well done Germany in banning Tom Cruise from filming in the Fatherland. The former Sheffield United coach Neil Warnock was unpopular in some quarters but celebrated as a famous anagram which eventually became his nickname 'Colin' or in its more complete form 'Colin Wanker' which is a perfect anagram of this emotional Manager's name. Is Tony Blair really a Catholic - of course he is - so what!
