CONGRATS TO NAOISE AND A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EMMA

This is my second attempt to get this published,and my last i might add.What a weekend that was,went up north on Friday Nottingham to be exact,for the graduation.I found it a very emotional experience,not only for my little princess ,but because during the hour long ceremony five or six times degrees were awarded posthumously.Naoise did tell me about a couple boys from her year that hung themselves,and it got me thinking how much pressure there is going to university,first time away from home,new people to meet,new courses etc etc so i suppose you can understand it not being for everyone,but people dying for whatever reason just doesnt seem fair.
On a happier note got back in near hurricane conditions on sat night for the Vicars and Tarts night,i have not yet mastered the art of posting pictures yet but i will soon then you can all see what Emma wasnt wearing.Must commend simon,mitch and tim for a brilliant variation on the theme,they came as bakewell tarts,fantastic!!Also Emma,Loz and Katy if you ever get fed up working here got a couple of ideas what you could turn your hands to if you get my drift wink wink nudge nudge,know what i mean say no more bobs yer uncle hey hey.
Sunday returned to normal with man u and chelsea fighting out an honourable draw and england losing again this time at cricket.While on the subject dont any of you guys who used to give me stick for o cascarino etc ever do it again,how does a couple of south africans,an aussie and even a paddy and an indian and a pakastani play for you???? the worlds gone mad,in the words of Rashers Tierney "the whole worlds in a state of chassis".Its like a league of nations.On a serious note though my own opinion is that the last series was so very close and exciting,and that you cannot go to war without three of your very best,Vaughan as captain is a massive influence not only as captain but also as a player,Trescothick and Simon Jones too.Its just too many out.
Anyway there you have my views on nothing in particular,and just remember that while writing this more than likely about a hundred people will have been blown to smithereens in the middle east for nothing at all,so consider yourself lucky even if you are bored out of yer skull.
