I wanted to post this drawing on Sunday, after my beloved (and oft belittled) team finally won a trophy (9 years since we last won the same cup)! I was celebrating with my son Lucky Luke (his month-old birthday too) whose favourite song is "Lukey's Going To Wembley", and wanted to blog, but for some reason 20six has been going AWOL, and forcing me yet again to consider the long-expected move (I've stuck around because i'm sentimental - or is it slightly mental - and reluctant to drop the uk bit, like it anchors me to britain or something). Sadly, I missed the actual game - never saw any of it. It was all played out on tv screens on a different planet, at a time before I wake up anyway, and I had to get up and watch the scores roll in on the bbc website. But it meant I got a whole day to celebrate (and change nappies). And Wembley! The new Wembley! I'm from fairly near Wembley, and remember the arch being hoisted up. I wish I could've been there. I'll take my son there one day.
it's enough to make your heart go whoo-oo-oo-ooh

laputain / Website (29.2.08 18:37) Was it not on BBC iPlayer? I've watched some of the Six Nations that way, and it's pretty good- not too skippy or anything. |

petescully / Website (29.2.08 22:03) perhaps, but the problem is i can't watch bbc iplayer out here in the US, it's only for license-paying british public. Annoying really, i miss all my favourite bbc shows, and they don't have them on bbc america, it's all rubbish like 'coupling'. Grrr! |

Roshan (1.3.08 17:19) You spelled Wembley wrong on that poster ('Webley') Actually, you didn't but I bet I made you look

Roshan (1.3.08 17:25) Have you been reading any more Sandman by the way? I just finished the first story arc and it's pretty awesome. Not quite as good as Season of Mists but a great introduction. Eastenders made me cringe this week. They've got a new writer who's been annoying me for weeks but this week he took it to a whole new level when he had Stephen Beale talking to Stacey Slater about this 'Preacher' comic book series and how awesome it was.... First time in awhile that I've wanted to slap the tv! |

petescully / Website (2.3.08 22:57) Hah! Webley, as if mate. You'd have to go to bed pretty early in the morning to catch me out. Haven't gotten down to reading much Sandman yet, just reminded me actually. Might take the disc to work with me and read it over lunchtimes. I'm nearly done with Neverwhere, interesting read but yes some of the references are a bit cheesy to say the least. Eastenders... I'm surprised there isn't a Walford Below as well though, that's where Dirty Den really is, or all those characters that mysteriously leave and go to Manchester (which is too far to come back for a wedding or funeral) or South Africa. |
