Lives of Disraeli

I have a confession to make. Two in fact. I do not enjoy reading biography and one of the reasons for  this is that I remember little of what I read. A biographer has to do much research and take great time. Much of the research goes into the book resulting in a lengthy volume which does not make [...]

The Tanner Report/ Fulham 2 Cardiff 2.

Fulham could not produce the same level of performance of their first three matches and in the end were more than satisfied to earn a  point in this 2-2 draw with Cardiff. Cardiff, managed by Fulham old boy Paul Trollope, an early Ray Wilkins/Kevin Keegan signing at the beginning of the Al Fayed [...]

Equestrian gold: expert view

Yesterday afternoon was my admin session with Polly. She was held up at the dentist and I started to watch the equestrian event knowing she would want to watch this. I was soon absorbed and when she arrived my enjoyment was enhanced by her expert knowledge of the sport. Dressed in smart livery, the [...]

Olympics watching

There is another way of watching the Olympics other than staying up all night which I know a fellow Ruster and I adopt – namely to go to bed at 9 and arise in the early hours. Yesterday morning at 3am I settled down for the woman’s 68 kg freestyle wrestling contested between Dosho of [...]

BO66Y

Last night I watched the dvd of Bo66y a documentary produced by Matt Lorenzo to celebrate the 50th anniversary of World Cup victory. Matt Lorenzo and his father before him are massive West Ham fans so I did not expect anything too critical. I did expect to learn something I did not know but long [...]

Buying a pup

Yesterday I was called by the trainer of my greyhound to say that after a couple of months of treatment and rest for a tendon injury he was now irretrievably lame. He would never run again. For sometime I thought I had in every sense bought a pup. I never thought that I had acquired a dog that [...]

Sussex close to victory

Sussex CCC have only won one match all season drawing the other eight. League leaders Essex have lost two but won three. Still with six games left after this match against Gloucestershire and with Sussex having a game in hand a late winning run would mean promotion. Sussex had Gloucestershire [...]

Preston 1 Fulham 2

Fulham lie third but surely as it’s alphabetical we should be second behind Bristol City and above Huddersfield. Most of the so-called experts had Huddersfield at the other end and Newcastle who have lost both games at the top. Can we maintain our best start since Jean Tigana’s  side [...]

Brighton 3 Nottingham Forest 0

The Seagulls maintained their solid start to the season after holding Derby to a goalless draw at the Ipro and following this with a 3-0 thumping of their East Midland rivals last night. John Pargiter called and I advised him the betting moves are Anthony Knockaert first goal and any time scorer [...]

Olympics/ gymnastry

One of the sensations of these games is the American gymnast Simone Biles who looks like winning 5 golds. I heard a discussion of this girl’s brilliance on the Radio 4 today programme. Duly intrigued I watched her in the individual brilliance event last night. One of the aspects of the [...]
