More on Luton!

What a match! We were slightly interrupted by a tripped fuse at the pub but saw the whole majestic first half, and both goals.

The Luton team were amazing! Drew Talbot covered miles (great for effort but if he could have only put one of those chances away!). Maybe they were inspired by the presence of the England coach (lets face it some of the Luton scallies would be much more motivated to play for their country than the rich boys of the Premiership!). I hope that the own goal gets no headlines: Luton were very well worthy of the draw!

Now all we can do is wait. Today's game might well mean that the players can be paid. That has to be good. But tomorrow is a bit of a deadline day. We need a buyer by 5pm. I'm hoping for Stelios (orange theme could be good!), but have no idea if anyone can stump up the money. I was very encouraged by people getting in touch with five live. Several comments of people praising the club..

In many ways it seems utterly trivial to pray for the success of a football club. But when it comes down to people's jobs and lives maybe it does make sense?

Watch this space.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
