Within the confines of St James’ Park, Home of Newcastle United! Having spent the majority of my late afternoon and evening hitting my f5 key in the hope that Mike Ashley and Kevin Keegan were to deliver the WOW signing that us fans had been promised for most of the summer, the transfer deadline petted out, but not without the shock news that Man City are the latest billionaires play-thing, and that they were suddenly intent on mixing up the world of football, by stealing Robinho from under the nose of Chelsea. If only our chairman was like that 
Rather than letting Dennis Wise “impose” players onto the manager as Keegan has since said in a statement. Anyway things seemed to have become untenable for our “Messiah” and he’s ended up walking
Not done a great deal last week, apart from on Monday after our chest session, me and John booked ourself in for a spinning class. Jesus knows I was dreading it all day Tuesday, and got there slightly late, so ran in and found the only free bloody bike was right at the front! Didnt take long before I had my towel drapped over my head as sweat was pouring our of every pore! It killed me! I’ll be the first to admit that I didnt push myself all that much, cos it hurt already, and I now have twice as much respect for young Carolyn now! Specially as she stayed for another session afterwards, when me and John just sat in the gym and then decided to do a few stomach exercises 
Anyway Wednesday morning I felt surprisingly fine and dandy, apart from being a little saddle sore 
We went to the gym Wednesday night and had a shoulders session, but not Thursday as John had stuff on, and I felt shattered. Was proper gutted friday night, when football was cancelled cos of the rain flooding the astro @ Manor! Was really looking forward to getting piss wet through and having a laugh in the process Ended up with Kirsty and Tibbzy texting me Friday night.
Got up early saturday morning, and headed into town to meet up with Kirsty, who I’d not seen for best part of 4 years, since her wedding, and decided as I was a little early to meet her at the bus station. Anyway it was odd. Saw her coming walking towards me, and I knew straight away who it was 
Unfortunatley I was on the phone to my mum at the time, who wouldnt let me hang up Had a bacon cob in Debenhams, and Kirsty was moaning at how Jay got her on the shots Friday night, and she was feeling really rough. Bought a new shirt and 2 new tops before walking round a few shops chatting. Had a nice time, and we had a good laugh and that. Bumped into a few old faces I knew, including Jono Wilson, who was aware of one of the local news stories, so we were chatting about that. Nipped into the coffee shop and got my mum to buy me a coffee, and then spent an hour or two round at hers, untill I was due in for my haircut at 2pm. By the time I’d had my haircut and got home I watched the 2nd half of Scotlands defeat to Macedonia *sniggers* Had a nice long soak in the bath, and proceeded to get ready. Kept trying to ring Phil to see if I could be cheeky and get a lift into town. Turns out Phil had the exact same idea, and picked me up on his way through.
Got into town bout half 5, and Will and John were not far behind. Ended up having something to eat in the top Spoons and me and Phil stuck to pints whilst the other pair were on pitchers of Jager and Red Bull (at half 5 in the bloody evening 
) From Spoons we decided to head to Marthas to watch the England game, and it was dead for the majority of the game. Few more people came to meet us, and then once that 90 minutes of crap was over we made our way down to 53. Met Kirsty in there, and had a bit of a chat, which didnt seem to sit well with Troy, but hey ho Ended up sending her a text asking if any of her mates were single (Wow! How desperate do I sound!! ) On the way up we then headed into Yates’s for a quick drink, before John got the round in in Cheekies and it cost him best part of 20 quid for 4 Smirnoff Ices and 4 shots Ended the night in Liquid with Pete looking quite daper in what can only be described as a pimp outfit Ended up dancing with Kirsty and her mates, and bumped into a few lads I knew. All in all was a very good night, and was great to see some people out who I’d not seen for a while. Specially one person who up-until we got in touch on facebook a few months back, seemed to have dissapeared!! Maybe that husband of hers being in the RAF as a tea-boy has something to do with it hehehe (Can get away with calling him that as he’s out in Basra 
) Was gonna go and watch either Maddsy playing for R&K or John playing for Cockle, but waking up at 8am, I decided to go back to sleep for a bit, and by the time I decided to drag my lazy ass out of bed it was half 11, and having no petrol meant going to fill up a bit, which was added effort
Spent the day watching films on Sky movies, before noticing it was the first game of the NFL regular season, so I ended up laid on the settee watching New Orleans Saints beat Tampa Bay 20-17. Was shattered by 9ish, so headed upto bed once the NFL game had finished, only to find once I was in bed I didnt feel at all tired, thus watching Braveheart till gone 11
Today has been funny at work. With Maddsy’s mid-life crisis looming (only 180 days till he’s 30 ROFL) he’d had his ear pierced, and once Smash was aware, he decided to call him George Michael That didnt sit well, and we kept throwing random Wham titles at him in the conversation. Best part of the day was when Maddsy and Zoe were chatting about something, and Smash came upto me and said” Oh dear, the women are talking” Which then got us discussing the lack of testosterone flotaing about in what used to be a manly office
Found this article the other day quite amusing…

HORDES of Nazi racoons are out to conquer Europe.
They are just across the Channel from Britain after marching through France, Belgium, Holland and Denmark in a furry blitzkrieg.
Hitler aide Hermann Goering had the US mammals introduced to German woods in 1934 to enrich the Reich’s fauna.
But numbers have soared and they are invading new territory ? just like the Nazis did. Germany has more than a million racoons.
The 2ft-long creatures have no natural predators and are a serious pest, entering houses to steal food and endangering local wildlife.
Now there are plans to launch a cull. Expert Ulf Hohmann warned: Racoons will eventually spread to the whole of Europe.
The menace follows reports of ten million Stalin crabs with a 3ft claw span heading towards Britain from Russia.
I thought I had better keep this updated, as I got a telling off from an un-named someone for not keeping it updated! I even got quoted the last day I updated it
