They couldn't play for 'toffee's: 18/10/2009
 Well Paul (my brother) and I toddle all the way up to scouseland to see Everton ('the toffeee's') play Wolves. I have to say the first half was one of the poorest games I've seen for ages. Very poor from both sides. Second half was a little better but the last 15 was really all that was worth watching. Anyway it was Paul we went up for and after 30 years of supporting Everton he finally got to see them play so it was good for that. He's gone back home on the coach to London today and we'll see him again at Christmas. Good times..... Add Comment He's back!: 01/10/2009
 My brother arrived back 'home' last night! He's been living in China for ages now and hasn't been back to the UK for about 4 years It's great to have him back and although I would have loved to have met him at the airport it just didn't happen. Paul was welcomed home after the 18 hour journey by my Mum and Dad and my brother and his wife and their 2 kids and a rather lairy set of posters conjured up by my old man! Follow Pauls story back in the UK here. We are looking forward to seeing Paul in a few weeks. He's a mad Everton fan and I have booked for us to see Everton play Wolves on the 17.10 | About the blogger:
Dave started blogging when, as a family, we went to live in India for 3.5 months in '08. You'll find out all about that story by going to our old blog here.
Dave overdid it a bit on the old blog in India with posts going up most days, so since returning to the UK, he has taken a bit of a break but feels now it's time to blog again! (July '09). Blogging is a weird thing and a bit voyeristic at times (!) so why do it? Surely life blogging in the UK will never be as exciting for people as it was in India? Well, the main reason for beginning to blog again is that we are pretty naff at the normal kind of communication! We have a number of good friends that do not live in the UK too and this is just one way we feel we can touch base with them. Feedback is that they are happy (ish) with that too! The final good reason for starting again is that the one person who has hassled me back to blogging is my older brother in China who runs a great blog about his bizzare life in China which you can view here. I guess if I am honest it's him I have in my mind when I blog so, for his sake (as I know he will read it!), if for no one elses...here goes.... Dave ;-) Categories:All ArchivesJanuary 2012 Life mantra:
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away." One of the last notes left behind by Gandhi in 1948, expressing his deepest social thought. |
