20 years ago tomorrow.
I had my first ever driving lesson. 8 more one hour lessons and two tests later, I'd passed.

What do you look back on and think 'Christ! Was it really 'that' long ago?

Absolutely everything.

The central heating has failed. I put it in myself and plumbing is NOT my strong suite. I go through this every autumn.

You need to go to the lowest radiator on the system and bleed it
Done.

How much would you have charged me for that you evil bastard?

Bleeding from the lowest point? Interesting.
I wouldn't have charged you, I would simply have vandalised your home and posted about it on the intertube 4 1/2 years ago thus guaranteeing 2 front pages.

I have just had a little too much homemade chilli and caught up with a couple of the afternoon threads. Good to see a solid core of HMHB fans here, this time last week I was watching them live.

It's beyond me how it was two years ago I was in Rome.
It seems like yesterday. Luckily in less than a month I will be in Krakow, Poland doing much of the same.

Alt: I am beyond happy at the moment, in fact it's the happiest I've been in ages. Been transferred to the course I wanted to do, I've got not one but two amazing work placements sorted for next summer, and guess fucking what, one of them's at Fulham FC. I'll be working in the brand marketing department. I could laugh manically at how happy I am. Only downside is I still have no ID and my mates are currently out getting trollied and I'm stuck here.

My mum found a ban letter that my mate received and gave me a copy of at a home game (because the way it was phrased was funny as fuck) and phoned me yesterday and went mental.
It's hard explaining that it's fine because it was a mate being an idiot and not you, doesn't exactly show that the people I knock around with are of sound mind.

My other mate got a ban from the club.
But he lives right by the training ground in a massive house so his parents take in foreign academy kids on trial etc for a few weeks whilst they train with the club, they get paid loads for it. Anyway, these foreign kids get given tickets for games and they don't give a toss about going, so my mate got them to pass them onto him cos he couldn't buy them anymore. He never got caught but I really wish he did, would love to have seen him when the club ask how he got in and he tells them their next potential wonder striker got him free tickets.
