Ups - The View Are On Fire! Last night the NME Rock Tour 2007 was in Cambridge, and me and Brocky 2 set off from The Woolpack, together with …… (19 Feb)

Educating Sam : One Louder: In the car Sam loves listening to music, and often asks for it to be louder. I limit the volume to 11 on the CD player. It used to be 10, but then I agreed to "one louder". Sam now understands that "one louder" is the very loudest that anything can be - exactly in the same way that Spinal Tap's amps went up to 11 (see quote from the film). It's the kind of thing all boys ….

Downs - Another Stolen Bike! Some lowlife scumbag has stolen my bike - the second one I've had nicked in 5 months! (24 Feb)

Fave - The Name’s Teeth….Keith Teeth. If you don't eat beef, lose your teef?"

"If you're Lee van Cleef, lose your teef?"

"Once a thief, lose your teef?"

"Red Indian chief, lose your teef?"

However the most popular was "Name's not Keith? Lose your teeth," suggested…. (16 Feb)

Ups - Tweenie-Tastic! : WTNG (Woolpack The Next Generation for new readers) joined forces yesterday to go and see The Tweenies Live! at King's Lynn Corn Exchange.... (22 Mar)

Lunar Eclipse : Anyone else go out to freeze their nuts off? (4 Mar)

Downs - Where’s My Park Gone Daddy? : Right now only the set of swings shown in the picture remains. Much to his credit Sam hasn't moaned about this, he just seems excited that there will be new toys there eventually (26 Mar)

Fave - Karma - And Other Stuff : “Just as I was getting in me car to come home a young woman ran up and asked if it was safe to drive on a flat tyre. Told her she would be OK to go very slowly to the garage to re-inflate it, then my conscience kicked in and I crawled along behind her to the air pump. Took a look - it was obvious that a puff of air would not “ (25 Mar)

Ups - We Went To The Seaside - Part One : Another new game! We played it first last night, and again today....it's based on the book "We're Going On A Bear Hunt" (great book by the way, visiting parents!), and also on the way Dave Benson-Phillips set the story to music when we went to see him at Hunstanton's Princess Theatre. Why is it a duck hunt, not a bear hunt? Well, we saw some ducks around the flats recently, but we've never seen any bears! So, Sam sits aloft on Daddy's shoulders, and we set off around the flats...."We're going on a duck hunt..........we're going to find a brown one.......what a beautiful day.........I'm not (7 Apr)

Our Weekend Was Good! Saturday : Sam was a little bit fazed by the whole thing, but towards the end of the race we spotted his horse with it's white spot in the middle of its face, and as the fences passed it looked more likely that Silver Birch might earn Sam some money with a top 3 finish. At one point the jockey looked back, which I took to mean that the horse was (14 Apr)

Grandad’s Party : A surprise party was arranged for my dad's birthday this year, and it was GREAT! We all gathered at the (29 Apr)

After The Party : At one point I heard him confide in my Uncle Barry "All these people here, they're all here because of me". He's right. Six children, thirteen grandchildren, Errrrm umpteen great-grandchildren so far. My dad, what a man! Happy Birthday Dad! (29 Apr)

Downs - Time To Remember The Departed : Chatting to some of the people I used to travel all over the place watching Leeds all those years ago, seems we did know one of the young men murdered in Istanbul by the Turks (5 Apr)

Fave - Heacham Beer Festival : 1721 BUS! Yay, at last.

1808 Off the bus opposite Tesco.

1810 Just seen another Ferrari, 2 in 2 days, weird.

And there it ends! I went into the Woolpack on the way home to top up the real ale with some real chemicals in the form of Fosters. Old Bespak buddy Noel came in with his missus, lovely to see him. Actually, I probably saw two of him....I was verrrrr, verrrrr drunk. (9 Apr)
