Capital

In a word, or two, this country is pretty much the same everywhere. Apart from London that is. For a start, in London everybody is either jogging or at an Olympic fast walking standard - this applies to the 'suits', the locals, the families, and the tourists. Secondly if you ask anyone a question they look at you as if you are about to murder them. Finally and most importantly when visiting you become cloned into London life, your pace increases dramatically, you don't acknowledge anyone and you certainly don't become embroiled in conversation.
I do love London though and would live there, obviously on the condition that I was very, very rich and that I lived somewhere else for the other nine months of the year!
Club wise and I met up with some of the club hierarchy today, the manager, chairman, and Jim Smith . The combined amount of games played and managed, and stories told, was on a scale of ridiculous proportions. All unrepeatable of course but all the same top stuff!
Tomorrow we face Histon in a game that we must win. Who could forget last years play-off semi-final away last season against them complete with a sand pit of a pitch, a second half of 50 corners, and a post match 'pec' dance. A lad who played in that game for Histon, Jack Midson, is at Oxford now and he said they were a great bunch of lads who really over achieved. I hope that is not the case come 4.45 p.m. Here's hoping for a O.U.F.C and T.U.F.C double tomorrow.
