How Was Your Day?

Delivered a talk to 300 sixth form students in Enfield today on 'creating and running your own business'. Not my usual target audience but an interesting experience none the less. Big respect to the teachers who seemed to spend most of their time just trying to get the kids to behave and listen - it looked like hard work. Some of the kids really didn't want to be there and were just tossing it off. Others were really attentive and engaged and asked questions. The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that it's all about the role of the parents really. If that group today were an average reflection of the future of this country - I have my worries....

My big brother who is aged between 30 and 45 has just told me about his weekend.

He had Coke on his cornflakes and beer in his mug when it should've been tea. He was ****ed. So he's at the city this Saturday and Arsenal grab a fourth goal, he throws his cap in anger (I heard you say), and it lands behind this lad, supposedly he's a bit of a gay **** so he goes down giving it the biggun. Oi what did you just say come on then let's go! He says. But this gay **** just stands up for himself so my bro retreats back to his pals who are aged 30-45 approx. Seconds later he thinks actually no I'm in the wrong so I'll apologise to this poor young lad who surely can't be gay as he's too good looking for the ladies to resist. As they're shaking hands the good looking guy questions the earlier actions, me bro sees red and grabs the lad by his throat. At this point some other fellas get between them to break it up and my bro decides he will take them instead.

Then he went to bradgate park on Sunday

Before anything else, I'd like to apologise to the mods for my terrible last post, back in August. I'm 60, and was attempting to post a link for the first time. It went badly, and I think I nearly downloaded the whole internet onto this forum. This will not, not, be repeated. Ever. I promise.

Yesterday was good because I left a Galway hospital after 12 days, following an operation to remove bowel cancer. It was wonderful to step outside and feel and breathe fresh air, although I found my clothes seemed heavy. Later back at home I sat in a sunny spot in the garden, while I remotely controlled the little electric car that my young foster son drives, and happily watched as my wife mowed the lawn.

While I was in hospital I followed the City as closely as I could, and I really felt attached to their determination, their fight, their just "we will not be beaten". OK, so it didn't quite go right against Arsenal. I wore my City shirt around the hospital on Saturday, but I think there's more people in Thailand that recognise the shirt than in Galway. But this season that might just change!

I was born in Leicester, but live in Ireland now. Still have family there, off the Narborough Rd, and as part of my convalescence I've decided to fly over for a couple of matches in 2016.

Glad to hear you are on the mend. You make sure you rest up in preperation to the matches you go to. The King Power is an amazing stadium to be in at the moment, our atmosphere is unrivalled imo.

Fvckin wife and kids ruin everything....

What sort of parking ticket?  Tell her not to pay it unless it is from the council.  The rest of them are not legally enforceable. 

 

See here for advice: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4816822

I take it that you are following the current Parking Eye case which is firming up the legality of private parking charges?  The industry is holding off at present but if the case is upheld plenty of people who thought they'd got away with parking offences will be getting enforcement notices.

Another update on my boy.

 

Still cant crawl but is certainly getting more strength in his muscles. Upto now he has always slept laid flat on his back in the position i put him down in. Now i find him in all sorts of angles when i go up to get him out of his cot. He now understands much more what you say to him with him shaking and nodding his head to answer you. Still cant talk but he communicates with his head movements and random noises he makes.  

 

Got an appointment today with Menphys. They specialise in a disabled childs development and provide homecare and have a nursery in Wigston where my son will be going to. They have met him a couple of times and are certain they can get him ready for mainstream school without the need for any special help.  

 

Now i look at my son and think yes he has some development issues which will hopefully sort themselves out but there are people with children with much worse conditions. It certainly puts a different perspective in the way you think. My son is relatively easy to look after because he doesnt run around so i have it easy compared to some of the other parents out there who have a much tougher set of circumstances. I certainly have a new found respect for parents that have children with a disability. Absolute heroes
