At Lords on Saturday, I sat outside at the Lords Tavern and I could see the pollen in the air. It was covering cars in a light dusting. I could not stop coughing to the point I had to have a yoghurt to coat my throat and wait for the antihistamines to kick in. |

No, a tie is when scores are level, its different to a draw.
I went to Lords Saturday and it was glorious weather. Sunday, I was wearing gloves and a scarf.
Couldn't get back Monday but watched the last hour on YouTube, what an advert for red ball cricket.
I hope they don't reduce games from 14 to 10/12.
After play, as usual, was having a beer in the Lords tavern and all the players and coaches come in. what other sport would this happen?! [Post edited 6 May 12:13]

As a fan of all the Jason Statham films, his last two have been awful. Beekeeper and working man. Bizarrely both are set in America but blatantly filmed in England. It looks so silly seeing English flats/houses passed off as American. And the streets. They just use left-hand drive American cars. |

As big a crowd for a county championship game at Lord that as I can remember. Glorious sunshine, which makes a change for opening day. Annoyed Middlesex got bowled out for so little, yet they made the biggest first innings score in the second division…clutching at straws lol back again tomorrow |

Update
She came over to Oxon/London for a week over Christmas and loved it here. Then I went back out with her to Texas for a week to see in the new year. Best NYE ever.
Heading back there this Friday for the Superbowl and Valentines lol for 10 nights.
We're seeing how it goes this year, She's worried I'll find it too hot there in the summer but so far so good.
We text all the time an FaceTime most days, still in the honeymoon period I guess.
All from a Bumble match too, crazy.

I was at the game (been to villa more this season than rangers ) 
the atmosphere was amazing, the Ozzy flag thing was cool too.
I was in the Trinity lower and could see Celtic fans being escorted out of various home seats, was quite funny. "You've seen the villa now fcuk off home' was sang to them as they were being escorted.
The Celtic fans were loud, their choice of songs was vile though. |

I had dry socket a few years ago after having a tooth removed at the back, bizarrely the dentist used cloves and the pain relief was instant and it didn’t bother me anymore. |

August 2016 we went to New York and we were queueing for around three hours in immigration. There were one or two people on the desk for foreign citizens but they kept letting through American citizens to use our line as overflow. And then a load of troops came in and went to the front. That’s the worst experience I’ve had.
Boston- i’m a director of a water treatment company (legionnaires disease and bacterial testing mostly). That’s all I’ve done since college. Health and safety laws in America differ massively. I think I would try facilities management and work my way up, kind of. Or try and slot straight in to water treatment.
A friend of my GF is in construction recruitment at high-level, he said he’d help me out with my CV etc
It’s exciting, I can’t wait to show her London and Oxfordshire over the next week |

I don’t know. I’m going to speak to an immigration lawyer. I mean, it’s completely genuine and not a ruse. But need to get it right if that’s what we want to do. Other people seem to manage, so why not us? |

Her Children go to see their dad in Tennessee for nine days, so we had to fit it around that. Her return flight in economy from DFW was £2500. My return flight back with her on the 27th December is £1300. Previously I’ve paid anything from £700-£900. Crazy. |

Ha well I just assumed she was my girlfriend, but she needed clarification and wanted me to ask her. Apparently that’s what you do in the dating world now. So many guys won’t commit and don’t want titles apparently, so they try keep it casual. It’s all new to me so when I was over for Thanksgiving, I officially asked if she’d be my girlfriend so it’s ‘official’ ( I know I know). i’m 47 years old, it sounds like we’re teenagers ha ha ha. |

Update for those that care, ha ha. So my Texas girlfriend is officially my girlfriend. She’s coming to England on Friday for a week. It cost me an absolute fortune to fly her over, can’t believe how expensive flights get at Christmas. And I’m going back home with her for a further 5 nights on the 27th December. Things are moving fast, we’re gonna see how this trip goes and then I’m gonna decide if I apply for a Visa. Mark (Charm-r,) we need to have a FaceTime early Jan to catch up. |

Every time I see a player do this on TV, I cringe. There is no upside to doing it, somebody is gonna seriously injure themselves. |
