Well here we are, Invasion Yarm week!

It starts for me with a not too pleasant trip to the dentist for the first of 2 extractions (next one is next Monday afternoon). Todays one is lower left and next weeks is lower right (teeth obv.  ;)). The advances in dentistry meant that absolutley no pain was experienced, which was a huge relief, although I have to report that it is smarting at the moment, but I was told to expect it for 48 hours or so. I guess a significant amount of alcolhol towards the end of the week will numb this pain and also help in numbing the other side for Mondays assault.

In other news, Europe"s Ryder Cup team provide an unbelievable feat of escapologly to win said trophy for the 5th time in the last 6 meetings. I have to say I will never grow tired of yanks with faces like a smacked arse in the sporting arena ;D

Yarm awaits, I hope to be in a fit state to report on the festivities, although don"t hold your breath.

Apols for not blogging over the past week or so. Yarm was a really good time, too much beer, rubbish darts, more beer, a very good win at pool over the lovely Lucy.

Am now in Glasgow for the APAT Scottish comp, but busted early last night and beer took over. Was up at the crack of 1.30 and indulged in the all you can eat Chinese buffet for £7.45 which didn"t touch the sides ;D

Now gonna try the 6pm tourney here for a giggle.

I was due to go to Wembley this afternoon to watch the Patriots take on the Rams courtousy of JP (tyvm) but I"ve had to crab out thanks to a literal "pain in the arse".

Now, I know what your thinking, dirty minds you lot have.

I"ve been bothered over the past few days by what seems to be a touch of sciatica, which is no fun, and it"s flared up this morning. Hot and cold compresses FTW for a few days sadly, still could be worse I guess. Hope the boys have a good day.

Also have to finalise the teams for the APAT Home Internationals at Stoke in 5 weeks time. JP and The Chief Scout are the other 2 England captains and we face a number of tough decisions before announcing the teams on Tuesday.

Should be interesting.

Curlarge:
Well here we are safely back from another overseas jaunt that was "A poker trip to the Algarve".

It was a totally uneventful weekend and nothing happened at all ;)

OK, well not quite nothing. Top 12 highlights (in no particular order) were:-

1. Seeing 15 or so APATers sitting out in the sun on Thursday afternoon on the marina, enjoying a beer and each others company.
2. O"Shea"s Irish bar, in particular Doreen and Fiona  :-* :-*
3. BJB
4. A certain "gentlemans" club :o :o
5. Dinner with Sue and Holdy at the beach.
6. Seeing all the APATers at the tables in the casino
7. Falling down the steps in our villa  :"( :"(
8. Hearing Ger laugh for what seemed like 4 days  :D :D
9. Watching The Chief Scout drink for what was 5 days ???
10. Doreen  :-* :-* (did I mention her?)
11. Seeing AJD at a bar TWICE  :o :o :o :o :o
12. Hearing the numerous tales of daring do, over the whole 5 days...........PRICELESS

It was an Epic trip, but then I think we all knew it prolly would be. Thanks for all of the kind comments, it was a pleasure.

Curlarge:
Something has been bugging me for some time, and now is the time to say what it is.

Over the past year or so we have been subjected to a constant stream of ****e in the press regarding "alleged" racist comments made by sportsmen, predominantly footballers, but there have been other instances in other sports as well. This is, and always will be, totally unacceptable, in any walk of life.

The press have stirred things up to a frenzy at times which is a joke in itself and in more than a few cases, will no doubt have fuelled the fire within the public domain.

The thing that really gets my goat though, are these new groups that have sprung up. The latest of which is "The Black Lawyers Society".

If you object so strongly about being called "black", why the hell do you feel the need to you put "Black" in the title of your organisation?

You don"t see "The White Law Society" or "The White Institute of Directors" or "The White Royal College of Surgeons".

If you want "us" (non-black people) to fully support your cause then stop underling everything with the very word you object to.

Rant probably not over.
