nicest bank holiday monday since malc knows when

 

Today was a Bank Holiday as it was Tony Blair's 60th birthday.

 

And a quote from a book by Charlie Spedding, his contemporary at Durham Cathedral School:

 

"One of the lads I played with was a boy called Tony Blair. I don't recall his skill with the ball, but I do remember his ability to make up rules of the game to suit his team's situation. Once when a team mate [of Charlie's] fell over, but still managed to kick the tennis ball against the wall, between the two pullovers, Tony managed to convince all of his team, and some of [the other team], that it was against the rules to kick a ball when you were on the ground. I should have known that he was detined for a life in politics."

This has pretty much summed up my day -

 

BBQ RULES:

 

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

 

(1) The woman buys the food.

 

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

 

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

 

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

 

Here comes the important part:

(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

 

(6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

 

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

 

Important again:

(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

 

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

 

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes

 

And most important of all:

(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

 

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

Doesn't it take a bit for the Earth to warm up, like when you first put the central heating on? Because of the extra-long winter it's been cooling down for ages, and is correspondingly taking longer to get warm again. It's quite hot when directly in the sun...

 

I read that, in my head, in a Doc Cox voice...

Taking the lad to a football tournament family fun day thing on the Gala field.

 

Will be his first 'live' football match as it were.

Little lads just decided to invade the pitch during the Blackpool rangers under 9's cup semi final.

 

He made it under the rope and to the center circle where he just sat down.
