2 gardens and an aquarium

Yesterday I organised a full day of activities for Jamie and his mother. Jamie is a keen marine biologist and our first port of call was the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco which houses an aquarium. Over the years I have visited a number of aquariums without Jamie’s enthusiasm for the marine [...]

Day in Nice

Michel de Vacri It’s good to see Monsieur Robert back in Nice with his Godson and his mother. Yesterday I was their tour guide. We started in the Cours Saleya market and shopping for food and various other domestic chores. After a late breakfast a la francaise of a baguette and croissants we [...]

United we sit

Yesterday I travelled back to Nice on EasyJet with my godson and his mother. As young children often are, my 8 year old godson Jamie can be very entertaining without intending. So as he mounted the stairway to the plane he remarked “I am feeling excited but a little nervous too. When I go to [...]

Watching the Masters

Unlike my distinguished co-writer I always intended to watch till the bitter end but this just like any pro’s preparation for the Masters requires attention to detail and experience. BBC were covering this year so no tedious ads breaks for betting but crucially no 2 minutes for comfort [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Ipswich 1

Fulham disposed of a poor Ipswich easily enough but we were not convincing and did not convince the faithful of our play-off credentials. There were some interesting features to the selection and play. Bettinelli, out of favour for the season, came in goal for David Button and Michael Madl for Tim [...]

Beginning and end of seasons.

Last Tuesday I was at the Amex to see Brighton beat Birmingham 3-1. It was hardly a vintage performance but 6 points were taken from Blackburn and a lowly Midland club whilst Fulham only managed 1 against Blackburn and a lowly midland club. Winning ugly is the name of the game or rather promotion. [...]

Le bilan

Le bilan is an accountancy word which literally might be translated as the balance sheet but is often used to convey the summing up. As I was on the midday EasyJet flight out of Nice yesterday surveying the Baie des Anges from up above I thought further of Daffers’ observation and did my [...]

Houston Open and Masters

Russell Henry won the Shell Houston Open, the last place in the Masters, me a nice few quid as Jeremy Chapman had recommended him and the Pargie tenner was on that at 40-1. He is always a golfer I have liked. A lovely putter but not one of the robotic output of collegiate golf, there is something [...]
