I have a $50 note (Canadian dollars) that's just gathering dust in a bowl, along with other foreign currencies - just a little taster for you there of the untold riches draped carelessly around my classy estate.
New quiz: name all the players who've played for BHA at the Amex - note this doesn't include the current season, so no Hemeds or Bongs please. There are 79 of them. Above 50 is a very good effort - it's hard to recall all the loanees, especially the class of 2014/15 who I seem to have blotted...
Now I'm older and earn more, I've upgraded to a Gloverall duffle. Living the dream. Re the DVD: I'll stick it on my Lovefilm list. My wife wouldn't let me put the poster up anyway.
Hmmm. I want to buy it, but (a) I'd be surprised if I watched it more than once, and (b) surely it will be broadcast on BBC4 on a Friday night in the not-too-distant future? ???
Premier Inns are easily as good as hotels twice the price that do not regard themselves as "budget". IMO. Travel Lodge is a different kettle of fish though - my in-laws got a nasty rash from the one in Brighton.....
I just got back from a Premier Inn down your way HK. Bloke in front of me (middle-aged man, embarrassed wife and daughter) was insisting on exercising his money-back guarantee, explaining that his room was too hot (possibly, if you insisted on using the duvet regardless of how hot you were, or...
I'm always nervous and need to celebrate a goal to relax. However, I am looking forward to it immensely and hope my three boys get to see a live Bobby goal. Currently in a Laserquest in Ashford for my youngest's birthday party. The entrance to the shooting zone has two letters stencilled onto it...
It is deceptively hard - too many possibilities, and hard to remember who played in which exact season. John Crumplin missed out by just three appearances in 1990/91.
New one today - most appearances by season, from 1970/71 to 2014/15. Some obvious, some not so.....

There's quite a lot of ammunition left: checking a mobile phone, texting someone mid conversation, waving/saying hello to someone else passing by, looking at a watch, etc - any kind of sign of being bored, sidetracked, popular, etc whilst still maintaining the idiotic pose. My favourite person...
This is a classic for students of body language, and it's very amusing to watch. It's the same principle as a peacock spreading its feathers out to look big and important, often accompanied by the spreading of the legs. If one man does it to another, it's an attempt to assert seniority and...
I have a Town Hall meeting tomorrow. I always think of Trumpton Town Hall when it's mentioned, and I continue daydreaming about living a quiet, but largely happy life in the imaginary town of Trumpton whilst the Town Hall meeting is taking place. If I have to speak at the Town Hall, I imagine...
I'm happy to listen to all of them except Monomania every now and then. However, they've always included a proportion of needless filler tracks on their albums which sound like they took minimum effort to write and record - which serve to make the killer tracks stand out even more.
My personal jury is still out. There seem to be some nice moments, but nothing that says this is an album to come back to again and again. Still, early days......
I've got one of those - forgot to mention it. Bit less keen on it since the cable got run through some chicken diarrhea when I was winding it in a few weeks back though.
Moved back from London to Brighton, ridiculously moved out of Brighton again (in fact, I've moved 6 six times since Bobby's last goal). I'm in the same job, although I'm leaving next month. Still married to the same person, but now with three kids that weren't there before. Only had two hospital...
