No football....
Football fans by nature are creatures of habit, doesn’t matter
who you support you usually have a matchday routine. For most home games, I usually
drive through the Peak District whilst swearing profusely at whichever driver
is causing the log jam of traffic in front of me. Get to the ground, have a pie;
and a well known locally brewed beer, then sit there biting my nails for 90
minutes. Go home, write my column, pop out to the local for a couple of drinks
and then watch Match of the Day.
Seeing as the World just turned upside down, I could actually
enjoy a drive through the Peak District with absolutely no traffic in front of
me, then just not go to the match, not go to the pub and watch nothing on TV. People
often ask me why do I go to football on a Saturday, I usually say, “What are
you going to do? Spend Saturday doing DIY?” sadly this grim reality is now staring
many of us in the face.
We have been discusing the forthcoming zombie apocalypse but it just seems that in a typically British way, we are all tut tutting at bog paper hoarders, is it really this dull? Maybe we could raise a lynch mob for anyone known to hoard loo roll, go round with flaming torches and chant obscenities every time the bathroom light goes on.
I was hoping me and my family could pass the hours with a nice conversation, but once that's been exhusted by 8am we could be in trouble
How will bookmakers cope? They make millions each week from
silly punters like me, who nearly win an accumulator every week, if only it wasn’t
for minor details like the results. Bookies need to find a new sport to get
people to gamble on, how about betting on all the things you were supposed to
do round the house without actually getting round to them?
We could have live online link ups to International “Blokes
working out how to bleed a radiator” Pro/Am “Finally getting round to
creosoting the fence” or The British Open “Taking all that stuff down to the
tip that your other half has been telling you to do for months” I’m pretty good
at tip runs so I think that’s the one for me, I even know which skip to chuck
the general household items into. But why is it every time I get back there’s
always one bag of rubbish that I should have taken to the tip that I forgot to
take, do these things multiply of their own accord? I might lose points in that
aspect of the competition.
On a serious not however Barnet have put all their non-playing
staff on notice of redundancy in order to save the club, worrying times for
every team in this non league division
