Better than any wheel clamp !!

Friday night - and in after the orgy of football-related stuff this week - need a rest before embarking on two more days of football-related stuff i.e. Hyde v Redditch tomorrow and Woodley v Mossley on Sunday - with a Glossop Beer festival in between !!

Before tonight's period of relaxation there was a "bit of fun" @ Stalybridge Buffet Bar on the way home. This morning some "bright spark" parked their "bourgemobile" very adjacent to the cellar drop - thus cocking up the beer delivery. Solution - put big heavy 9/18 gallon barrels all around the car !!!!!!


I was there when the (lady) driver appeared - and Sylvia gave her hell !! Fair-do's though - she (driver) was very apologetic and a few of us moved said barrels - and she (driver) bought a beer for Mick !!!
So tonight - I've already watched "Mossley go to Wembley" a Granada TV DVD documentary of the 1980 FA Trophy Final (before my time up here - I was there in 1979 watching the mighty Stafford Rangers stuff Kettering !) (copies available from Mossley FC only a fiver) - a trip to the local "convenience store" - do this bit of a blog - and then settle down in front of the box to watch "Tales from Earth Sea" - the newest Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki film (note - this one is "young" Miyazaki as in Goro rather than Hayao) - looking forward to seeing if he's up to his Dad's standards.
Have also noticed that Hayseed Dixie are playing in Manchester tomorrow night - ooooh soooo tempting - and Mrs Smiffy not back till Sunday teatime ??? We'll see how tomorrow pans out .....
