Keep Right On...

Birmingham City Football Club won the League Cup tonight.  I'm not a huge football fan, but it's hard not to be lured by the pure drama of it all.  There's goodies and baddies and hope and despair.  Just like life in fact.  And there's nothing like a good sporting celebration to help keep our minds off an unfair economy...

Blues are celebrating their first silverware since about 1963.  But I actually think it's the first major trophy they've won since they were formed.  About 130 odd years then.

I'm approaching my fiscal survival this year with the same tenacity. I just hope it's not going to take me as long as the Blues.  More beer!

Romantica

It's been a tough few months.  But the return to a radio show I did years ago has been very positive. And a great way of introducing an arts concept that very few will realise was one! Maverick this year is to be about nostalgia and reminiscence and Romantica was just that, with a lovely bunch of people sending in stories that, in some cases, had never been repeated before. On the first of two nights some of the feedback was tearful and very emotional. But it's great. It's what makes us human.
