I recently went through a breakup and as she was telling me all sorts of ghastly revelations still found myself thinking of its impact on my gig schedule, running season, and the fact that the paint needed doing and that was no longer my problem. That’s just what it’s like.

Weymouth only had to wait until the 8th minute to take the lead, it was 18-year-old Sean Docherty who blasted in from 20-yards-out and left Phillips groping helplessly at thin-air.

But it was his old team mates Gow really wanted to see and he wasn't disappointed when the City bus finally made it to Ashton Gate. Does there need to be a footnote to the “they rarely lead to a goal” line, giving the exception: “unless you are playing Liverpool”? Oyez! Oyez! Apparently today is International Town Crier Day (or so the presenter on Classic FM said first thing), this is a day I’d previously had no awareness of… It’s interesting that NB57/10 doesn’t know why he does this and doesn’t know why keepers rant and rave when both are fairly obvious opportunities to release emotions spurred by a rush of adrenaline/serotonin/pseudoephedrine whatever -in or -ine. Someone Who Cares, incidentally, is the title of a song by the Only Ones. It has no relevance here other than to heartily recommend its parent album Even Serpent’s Shine which is splendid.I knew Gerry better in the last few years.
