The things that I really, really like thread...

I found the BSA air rifle the old man bought me when I was about 14 while I was clearing his house out, I became a pretty good shot with it.
Had a go at trying to hit a tin can that i placed on the garden bench at the bottom of the garden, never got anywhere fucking near it.

Not sure where to put this but anyway…

In Marrakesh for a few days and just been talking football to some Scottish guy called Mike and his missus who just arrived at the hotel this evening.

He’s Arbroath and they got relegated yesterday after getting gubbed 5-0 by Ayr United. Miles adrift at the bottom and a goal difference of minus loads and loads.

Was trying to find something positive to say so mumbled something along the lines of, “Well fair play to you for turning up every week, must’ve been pretty miserable at times but you did it”

To which he replied, “Yeah it was, but I am the chairman”.

Walking the dog in the park earlier & crossed paths with a dog walker wearing last seasons shirt. Don't see many over this way.

In the winter I’m always wearing my Wolves hat and regularly get stopped by someone who notices it and fancies a blether. Often not necessarily a football fan themselves but they might have family from Wolverhampton or have a family member who goes to matches and just like to make the connection.

Funnily enough the baker behind the counter in the supermarket spotted it last year and was telling me his son goes to matches home and away and is a member of London Wolves, his handle being ‘Epsom Wolf’ apparently! I did have a very quick chat with a younger guy in a Wolves shirt at the station sometime before that but he said he didn’t get to matches so it wasn’t him, but still, nice to know there are a few of us about anyway.

I absolutely 100% do not need this.

Loved scalextric as a kid. Had a figure of 8 track and added more track to make different designs. TR7 cars along with the racing cars and would happily race or watch them go round for hours. It was shared with my brother and a few years later it got took round to a mate of his and never came back.

I had a Scalextric but being an only child I had to race myself. And I still lost.
