Ghosts in the machine

This one’s for MJH….

Down to a local hostelry last night for a “last hurrah” for the colleagues I used to work with. The company concerned has gone massive changes since I left, and it’s now come to the end of it’s presence in our town. ‘Twas excellent to catch up with people (some of whom I’d not seen in years). Surprising to see how little people had changed. There was a lot of reminiscing about what had happened over the years - some of us had worked for the company concerned for at least 15 years. Of course I’d left some two years ago to pastures new, but even so I held good memories of friends I’d left behind there. Big shout outs to the following;

“Cricket Mike” - Wot no Tone the Legend ?!
“MJH the IT Guru” - Yes I know things need changing round here - all in good time, mate!

“Little Clare” - Pleased to see the “Mummy Monster” looking well and happy.

“Northern Dawn” - it’s Ok, I’ve stopped grinning now. You’re safe.

“Gazza D” - Yet another Man Yoo fan living in shouting distance of Fratton Park. Cummon the Chelsea !!

“The CRM Laydeez” - good to catch up with you all.

“Pagham lose” shock!

After taking Midhurst apart in midweek, Pagham lost at home today against MIle Oak. Still not entirely sure how we lost - dominated the whole of the second half. Just couldn’t put the ball in the net. Ho hum. Roll on next season in Sussex County Division 1! Looking forward to a summer away from doing the programme. This week’s 40 page championship souvenir programme was a ‘mare to put together.

Justice I suppose…

Ok…here I sit, with a voice like a gravelly version of…well, me, really. Now, although “R in her Ka” might find this throaty growl a tad “interesting”, I know it’s the result of shouting and cheering at the Pagham lions for most of the season (my voice problems are something the aforementioned “R” thinks is justice. She hates football, you see). We’ve got two games left, and I look back on this season with a massive amount of good memories. There’s been plenty of laughs along the way (and a couple of times when that could have read “A long, long, long way”). More on these after this weekend.
I’ve been told by a long standing mate of mine that a gathering of people from where I used to work is taking place at a local hostelry this Friday…another excuse for me to get “Tired and emotional” I think. Just got to remember not to let “R” know…she thinks I’ll be at home all tucked up in front of the tv with my TV & Cocoa…

Decided the other day it was about time I got my car serviced. Being Japanese and ultra-reliable (that’s the car, not me !), it just keeps going and going and going. But truth be told, because it’s so reliable I tend to neglect it’s inner workings. So, a booking for a full going over with a spanner and an oil can should see it right.

Coming soon…more pictures….less words…now the football season is almost over, and it’s started raining again, I’ll have more time to spruce things up round here…and even the odd movie or three…
