Tucked up in bed after another victorious match in the Oakgate C team season (what do you mean.....who?!!!). Tired boy, but happy at the signs of continued improvement in my fitness. After the match on Friday I confess that the knees feel a bit tricky, but I got through tonight without getting nearly as out of breath as previous matches. Yay me!
'Weigh in'; sounds simple doesn't it? Two words, easy to pronounce; the world over, people are doing it every day. But for someone who is trying so hard to lose weight (and I know I am not alone in this), the simple act of getting on a set of scales is anything but straightforward......
First there is the agony of anticipation (agonipation? anticigony?); the agony of hoping that a week of working on your health isn't about to come crashing down, and more importantly the agony of just not knowing. Then....

Weigh-in Eve
All in all, I can 100% confirm that Weigh-in Eve is no nearly as much fun as Christmas Eve.

Sporting Moments - A Dish Best Served Unconscious
Another footballing anecdote for you, and yet another which I didn't witness; coming indirectly via my brother Paul (he takes up the stories from when I was a dribbling, incoherent, crying thing lying in a cot......just to clarify, that means when I was a baby and not after a particularly wild night out, although come to think of it, with the exception of the cot.....).
Les Bradd - in his three years with County - became a legend. I've done a bit of research (well, googled his name....), and he scored 30 goals in just over 100 appearances for the club (hardly Ronaldo, but it's Stockport County we are talking about here). I have also tried to tell this story in greater detail (some parts are lacking, and for this I apologise, the basic facts are accurate though) by contacting Les himself; I thought I had him working in PR at Nottingham Forest FC, but he left there some time ago and has now fallen off the radar........
