Heard the other day that a young neice of mine who's only 12 years old has been diagnosed by her doctor she's suffering with stress. Now that has shocked me as I thought it was an adult thing ? Something about lessons at her school, and how teachers are pushing her to do better etc. She seems...

A young Huddersfield Town fan found a fiver outside their stadium after their win over Man Utd on Saturday. His dad said as it wasn't his he must hand it in to the club. After some thought the nine year old decided to send it to his favourite player Aaron Mooy with a letter attached saying "...

As we hear of the passing of Tom Petty, on the radio fellow musicians have said he's left behind his great music, and this is a great legacy to leave to his family and friends and fans. How true is that. But it got me thinking what I'll leave behind ? It won't be money as I've got none, but I've...

I was asked recently what was the first City game I watched, and who were playing ? My late father took me to Highfield Road when I was a nipper, but can't recall much about the games to be honest. But the one that stands out for me was when we lost in the FA Cup to non league Kings Lynn. Jimmy...

With De Boer getting sacked after just four games in charge at Palace, it got me thinking about short term jobs I've had. When I was about eighteen I tried my hand at being a plasterers assistant. I got the hod the wrong way round at my first try and going up the ladder ending up covered in...

John Motson is hanging up his microphone at the end of the season after fifty years as a BBC commentator. Him and his sheepskin coat are retiring although he says he will still be doing some stuff but 50 years is enough. I grew up listening to Kenneth Wolstenholme and then Barry Davies, two of...

I've found later in life I'm a decent writer and am currently writing for two football magazines. But I wish I'd have had the oomph or confidence to be a writer or journalist years ago. But when I left school it was straight on to building sites like my dad, and if I'd have said I want to be a...

With the Mayweather v McGregor fight approaching it got me thinking about other sporting contests. If it were possible who would you like to see up against each other ? It could be a great from the past up against someone from today.This fight is a boxing legend v a MMA fighter. I'd love to see...

Talking in the pub on Saturday someone said Bolt is the greatest ever sportsman. Good shout ? Then how about Mo Farah ? Both are athletes but any other suggestions for top ever sportsman ?

A customer of mine every month gives me some vinyl albums that her late husband collected. She gives me some and what I reject she gives to charity shops. Picked up a few good ones like Status Quo, Deep Purple, and even though I'm not a fan a double album featuring all of Elvis Presley hits. (...

I've mentioned on here before how I'm late in listening to Bob Dylan and how much I now enjoy his music. Well the same could be said also of Deacon Blue a band I've ignored over the years. But after listening to them recently I have to say they are brilliant ! Some of the tracks have an edge to...

If it was possible and you could see one act at next years Godiva who would it be ? It has to be an act still going and likely to still be around next year. It can be a band,or a solo performer,and no matter how big they are they will headline the show. For me it has to be Metallica. Go on then...

Never been to Glastonbury but have been to numerous other festivals over the years. My favourite was way back in 1970 at the Bath Festival a three dayer when Led Zeppelin headlined. Also Canned Heat were on too and even though I was just a teenager I remember it being talked about as our answer...

Read the book on the Iceman about the Mafia killer/hitman Richard Kiklinski and its a true story and gory and spine chilling.He killed over a hundred people and had no feelings whatsoever,a real psycho. But watched the film Iceman tonight and it was nothing like the book,and a bit of a let down...

A customer of mine is never happy and everything to him is nearly always boring or crap etc. He's funny though but deadly serious and his missus calls him Victor Meldrew ! So what bores you ? For me its East Enders and all those soaps,politicians rabbiting on, crap music, cooking programmes...
