Wednesday Witterings ...

... our latest stray cat - Pirate - spent a happy (?!) day at the vets yesterday - sorted his (smelly) teeth out - basically by removing them (rotten as hell apparently), before returning home "high as a kite" but not as smelly - he's had a good MOT as well and appears much happier - unlike our bank balance which is just over £200 down - so ... if anyone in the Mossley area has lost (or more likely turfed out) a cat that looks like this ...



... no you can't have him back !! You obviously couldn't be *rsed to look after him, so to paraphrase Papa Lazarou ("League of Gentlemen" if you aren't aware) "You're MY cat now !!"

... see Hyde FC have swiftly filled the vacant Managerial role, with Scott McNiven and Gavin McCann taking over the reins for their foray into the big bad world of Blue Square Premier next season - obviously I mentioned budgets etc in an earlier post - but let's hope that it all works out OK - as someone mentioned on the Hyde Message Board "I'd rather have relegation than liquidation" - hopefully it won;t come to either.

... Stalybridge Celtic's Stephen Brogan has been called up for the England C squad to face Russia in the International Trophy on June 5th - a well deserved selection given what I saw of him last season ...

... the funeral for John Smith - who died just over a week ago takes place tomorrow at 1300 hrs at Mossley Methodist Church - thence to Dukinfield Crematorium followed by wake @ Mossley Football Club - unable to get time off sadly but will be thinking of him ...

... new lens hood arrived today for the cheap'n'cheerful "holiday lens" - good ol' eBay ...

... leaky tap sorted ... boiler serviced ... escaped the weather (mostly) @ work today, although expecting much worse tomorrow - eek !

... tonight's kitchen concoction was pork and chorizo in sauteed vegetables with roasted wedgie chips ... 
 
... Frank Warren is obviously (allegedly) a money-grabbing crook (Chisora v Haye - what a joke !) - sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation (maybe because no bugger else would touch it with a bargepole) - West Ham United should hold their heads in shame for offering to stage this fiasco - or maybe they're (allegedly) only in it for the money ?!?  We eagerly await Sky's involvement (oh - money - allegedly - maybe ?) - not ...

... Blackpool still 1-0 up on aggregate ... me definitely going to Hyde tomorrow ...

... enough of this codswallop etc - off to watch Timothy Spall sail around the west coast of Scotland ...
