My Monday night adventure

It's a bitter night here temperature wise. I'm waiting to go to hockey.

Birmingham was so good. (See previous post) It was great to see Jono in his 'natural habitat' - at least his natural habitat for half the year.

On the metro train now. Yesterday I was on a metro that would more accurately be described as a sauna on wheels. The heat was intense!

I'm going to be late for hockey which may mean I miss the 'run round the pitch jumping up and down' section.

This is followed by the 'dynamic stretching' section and then drills and then THE GAME. :-)

THE GAME is generally my favourite bit. If you've ever played a game - of any type- with me you'll know I'm very competitive.

And so in THE GAME I put all of my effort in to haring up and down the pitch doing my best to tackle/pass/shoot/block.

It's now two hours later.

THE GAME's result? 3-2 to us. :-) With me on the score sheet!

I did miss the run around and stretches but did plenty of drills followed by THE you-know-what. Started off in defence and made a couple of goal line blocks.

Later I switched and went into midfield, collected a cracking pass and whipped the ball into the goal!! :-)

Very pleased.

Off home now to iron some shirts...

Adios

Essential musings

The funny thing about working in a shop is you get to learn all about people's eating habits...

Today I served people around supper time: one guy bought a massive piece of steak, and someone else got 2 things of pot noodles and a can of red bull!

Earlier this week, I had something published in the Kentish Gazette, which I sent to them after writing the story for inQuire. I rang the KM group and asked them if they'd be interested in the stor, and they were. :-) So p18, and on the web with my name at the top.

The story was about Kent Union gaining Sunday Times best 100 companies recognition.

Elections are on the way here in the world of Kent: elections for the Student Union Vice President roles, as well as the President him/her self and part time positions. (Bored yet?)

Well, actually its not boring!

I think not enough people vote in these elections, and I think the outcome is very important. It will direct what happens to Kent Union over the next year, and as KU is currently one of the biggest in the country (in terms of people employed and activities undertaken) there is a lot that could go wrong!

There are a few people who are running under a similar banner, the socialist one, and they say they will give part of their earnings to a learning fund which doesn't have very much money.

I'm not sure about some of them though, do they have a trustworthy attitude, and the respectability to run the Union? Will people listen to them, and will they make a difference?

This is my first blog

I have been told lots of times by people at all the journalism conferences I go to that blogging is a good idea. So here we go...

I have also been told that I put specific names in my blog then it get noticed more so:
