Good morning, I have to go and get my top set of teeth out, and get a new plate fitted today. I had forgotten all about it, because there has been so much going on ( there hasn't really, but I like to think there has) in my life the past few weeks. My 17 year old son has left home. He has moved to the big city, well he has moved to the Scottish Lowlands from his birthplace of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. This makes my Manchester trip a bit tricky, I can go from Stornoway to Edinburgh on my own, as there will be someone meeting me at the other end, but if my son doesn't show up at his grannies in time for the plane to Manchester, I don't think that I could manage it on my own. He has assured me that he will be there, but what if he meets a girl and gets jiggy with her? He is 17 remember, and at that age getting jiggy with a female is the most important thing in life. I remember at that age, I'd have shagged anything with a bit of hair round it ( apart from a mans arse) in fact I would've shagged a barbers shop floor, and come out all sticky. So it could be tricky, but at the moment I am still going to Manchester.
There is still no news about the Manchester authorities erecting ( now at 17 I would've got a semi at seeing that word) big screens for the thousands of ticket-less fans heading to Manchester. There are 2 buses going from Stornoway, plus the planes to Glasgow, and Edinburgh are nearly fully booked next week, so hopefully they'll do something, and not just keep telling ticketless fans to not come to Manchester. The last time that I checked, this was still a free country, not a police state, a free country that my grand father died on the beaches of Dunkirk to keep free. Why are we being treated differently from other fans? Why is Manchester not putting up big screens, as is usual for the host city at these big footballing events? I'm sure that they have areas big enough to put big screens up, but they have just buried their heads in the sand.
Well hopefully all will be alright on both fronts, my teeth and my Manchester trip. Right Cheers then....
