Great Sean Keef (iirc) photo of the Bramhope bowl in Neil’s book. Unpublished I think. Weirdly I never went to it but I was already living in Notts in its heyday (90-91 ish).
I think I was staying at Gooeys in Prestwich and we did a mission there. Pretty sure with Scotty but memories are hazy
Sean- that’s a name I haven’t heard for some time
Had a Pancetta panini with mozzarella, tomato and salad from a local Italian place. It was so good. He’s Italian himself and sources the ingredients from Italy. Highlight of a very hot day.
Stoked… my two completely unnecessary pairs of New Balances arrived whilst my wife was out.
What did you get?
Pair of all black 440s and some navy 306. Seems like lots of people rate the Foys, so wanted to try them at some point.
Excellent, now they can be put safely into the secret stash. ‘Oh I bought these years ago, don’t you remember?’ etc etc
Love them. I have 6 pairs here including my old skate ones and the ones I’m skating in now. I get about 3-4 months out of a pair which is great for me. I do need to sell the Half Cabs I’m never gonna wear ![]()
Bit late with this but had to go and collect my girls from ex wifes new place an hour and 20 minutes drive away. I hate driving it really freaks me out and had never driven that far before ever. But I managed it without anything happening - although i may have been in the wrong lane once but it was fine.
Manged to get the girls back to mine safely and had a nice day with them and a nice Fathers Day meal out.plus today I put their new beds together am just waiting on new mattresses, so it wil be much nicer for them when they stay at my flat now.
Managed to get a skate in. Filmed stuff. Drunk some good OJ.
Mate - respect to you. I mean this in a totally non-patronising way but, you should be mega proud of yourself for navigating all that shit you went through last year and being where you are now.
Big up
Daughter had her primary 7 prom tonight, off to high school after the summer
We pick her up and she tells us a boy asked her out. She thought I was going to be an “overbearing dick” dad about it, but I just high fived her and told her I was proud of her. Especially when she told me his friend came over to ask her out for him and she answered “If he wants to ask me out he’ll come over and do it himself”
Thanks. Appreciate you saying that.
Some friends got a new place and there was a box of vinyl and cds in the garage. Vinyl pretty blah but cds turned up this which is a bit of a grail for 90s mix cds. Vol 2 & 3 as well but 1 is the one
So gassed to be watching this game tonight with my boy on the eve of his 13th. It feels like some kind of fate at work that we must win.
I want to watch it but don’t.
I don’t like watching football for all the reasons people like it ![]()
Somehow up at 5am to watch the match with my eldest.
Gonna make bacon rolls at half time.
Ive got a site to go to tomorrow in Manchester. Not far from Timperley. Might finally get to see the Frank Sidebottom statue.
