I've done some enjoyable things; spent a couple of days at Guildford watching Surrey play Worcester, gone to a garden party to celebrate my uncle's 90th birthday, spent a couple of days staying with Jay in Kent and spent a gloriously hot day at Lord's (Surrey lost to Middlesex unfortunately). Now I have a couple of free days, followed by the Oval Test Match, the Saturday of which unfortunately clashes with West Ham's first home game of the season...Then it's back to work! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:6035 2007-07-22T16:54:38Z 2007-07-22T16:54:38Z For England cricket fans everywhere, 'A Monty always gets his man'! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:5715 2007-07-21T18:12:46Z 2007-07-21T18:12:46Z Three weeks and two days of annual leave, starting tomorrow.

Either they knew what they were doing and were stupid enough to think they could get away with it, or they had no idea what was going on and were just stupid. My second thought was about the parents. Had I come home aged 16 and told my mum that I was going on a school trip to France, her first question would have been "How much is it going to cost?" Her second question would have been "How are you going to pay for it?" She would also have wanted to know a bunch of things like... where I'd be staying, who would be leading the trip, how were we going to get there, oh and "Where's the permission slip for me to sign?" Yet these parents blithely accepted everything their daughters told them. Is stupidity catching? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:5283 2007-07-03T16:23:09Z 2007-07-03T16:23:09Z On the plus side, West Ham are definitely staying up (not that we didn't know that already but Sheffield Utd's case has failed).<br /><br />On the minus side, we've got hail, thunder and lightening in London at the moment. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:4986 2007-06-07T07:14:38Z 2007-06-07T07:16:05Z <center><b>So, ali888, your LiveJournal reveals...</b><br><br><img src="http://www.wotayu.com/phPie.php?data=a%3A5%3A%7Bs%3A6%3A%22unique%22%3BN%3Bs%3A8%3A%22peculiar%22%3BN%3Bs%3A11%3A%22interesting%22%3BN%3Bs%3A6%3A%22normal%22%3Bi%3A1%3Bs%3A8%3A%22herdlike%22%3Bi%3A3%3B%7D"><br><br>You are... <b>0% unique</b> and <b>75% herdlike</b> <br>(partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy <b>tv</b>).<br>When it comes to friends you are <b>normal</b>.

It's a cross-over with a number of fandoms and is hilarious. There's a sequel as well.<br /><br />Number 2 is 'the Legend of Daniel Jackson' by Sam Walker. My favourite 'Little Danny' story but have a box of tissues ready when you read it.<br /><br />Number 3 is 'Prodigal's Return' by Brenda Anders.<br /><br />Number 4 is 'Nor Iron Bars a Cage' by Lex.<br /><br />Number 5 is 'True Foundations' by Scribe.<br /><br />In fact, pretty much anything in any fandom by the above authors is recommended. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:4352 2007-05-14T18:53:04Z 2007-05-14T18:53:04Z I met up with a group of friends yesterday in London, to say goodbye to Welsh Helen who is moving back to Wales. We spent the afternoon in an Italian restaurant and I was very good, avoiding all alcohol. We had a great time, eating and gossiping. My brother obeyed his orders and rang me at 5pm to give me the great news that West Ham beat Man U and are staying in the Premiership. All in all a great afternoon. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:4155 2007-05-12T12:26:48Z 2007-05-12T12:26:48Z Rant number one. My jaw is still hurting so I went back to the surgery on Thursday. I saw a different doctor and she told me that my ear infection has cleared up. Great. She didn't know why I was still in pain; she suggested that it might be the after effects of the infection or it might be a dental problem. So, yesterday I went to see the dentist. He took an x-ray with a new super duper hi-tech machine and diagnosed a probable problem with a wisdom tooth in the left hand side of my mouth. It's almost a year to the day since I had a wisdom tooth pulled out from the right hand side. He's prescribed some anti-biotics (I've just finished the ones from the doctor) and told me I can't drink alcohol until I've finished them. How am I going to celebrate/drown my sorrows about West Ham's fate tomorrow?<br /><br />Rant number two. Bl**dy Sainsburys. I believe it was earlier this month that they were giving away bags which are supposed to last forever so that you don't need their stupid plastic ones any more. I didn't bother getting one because I have a huge collection of carrier bags which I re-use until they fall apart. I went to Sainsburys this morning to buy a few things. I prominently displayed the bag I was holding and the check out clerk *still* started to put my things in a brand new bag. That was my cue to be less than polite to the poor man. It wasn't his fault, it's what he's been trained to do, but it's so flippin' annoying. Do Sainsburys have no interest in environmental matters or am I expecting too much of a major corporation?<br /><br />Rave. I've just discovered the BBC programme 'New Tricks'. I've watched a couple of repeated S1 episodes on UK Gold and the most recent one on BBC1. It's fantastic. I ordered the DVDs of series one and two on the 10th. They arrived this morning. Talk about good service. I'm just looking forward to a New Tricks marathon. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:3942 2007-05-10T21:05:06Z 2007-05-10T21:05:06Z Two Spurs footballers (apart from the 'keeper) were wearing gloves tonight. It's mid May. Why??? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:3764 2007-05-05T19:44:08Z 2007-05-05T19:44:08Z Another great result for West Ham today. We've now moved out of the relegation area thanks to our 3-1 victory over Bolton. Now all we need to do is get at least a point at Old Trafford next week. Or (which is more likely) hope that Wigan don't beat Sheffield United. (Or possibly hope that Wigan stuff Sheff Utd and that we don't lose by too many at Man U, but I'll have to double check my maths re goal difference on that one.) I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up but it's difficult after such a brilliant first half performance today. If we'd played like that all season we'd be challanging for a European place next year. Mind you, knowing West Ham, next Sunday will be a damp squib! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:3548 2007-05-04T19:22:34Z 2007-05-04T19:22:34Z So, I've been on leave this week. I woke up on Monday with an aching and stiff jaw. Not too serious, just annoying. I've had hay-fever for a few weeks and a cold for the last 10 days or so and I thought it was just an extension of them. My jaw was still uncomfortable on Tuesday and Wednesday and my ear felt sore yesterday. This morning I couldn't open my mouth properly, it was too stiff on the left hand side. I spent a couple of hours at the doctors waiting to be seen. I'm now on something called amoxicillin for an ear infection. I hate being unwell. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:3259 2007-04-28T18:47:54Z 2007-04-28T18:47:54Z I went to the Oval after work today and saw the end of the Surrey v Hampshire Championship Match. Very exciting and lovely and warm in the sun. It's just a shame that Surrey lost, especially as I had a pound bet with a friend that we would win. Had we won, then I'd be £50 better off!<br /><br />I tried not to listen to my friends announcing the football scores (they were listening to them on the radio) but failed miserably. West Ham won (again) and I'm now starting to think that we can stay up. Now all we have to do is win at least one of our last two matches (and hope that our relegation rivals don't).<br /><br />So, two weeks off work. What to do??? Any suggestions? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:2831 2007-04-08T17:07:55Z 2007-04-08T17:07:55Z We were doing so well whilst Bell and Pietersen were batting together. Now it looks like we won't make any sort of score at all. Shame really but that's England all over.<br /><br />At least West Ham won yesterday. We did the double over Arsenal!!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:2615 2007-03-17T19:11:28Z 2007-03-17T19:11:28Z Blackburn have just had a player sent off for 2 yellow cards. Pretty harsh. And our second goal should never had been allowed.<br /><br />And we've won! Our first away victory of the season. Not that it's likely to stop us being relegated. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:2416 2007-03-17T19:09:25Z 2007-03-17T19:09:25Z Less than a minute to go and we're 2-1 up, away from home. Surely we can't lose this. Mind you, after the Spurs match a couple of weeks ago... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:2244 2007-03-04T19:33:33Z 2007-03-04T19:33:33Z I'm sure this time next season, that I'll being enjoying an exciting, and hopefully successful, promotion battle. The less said about this season's relegation fight, the better. And it's still raining! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:1827 2007-01-18T11:48:00Z 2007-01-18T11:48:00Z What is it with the weather? It's not that cold but the wind is strong and it won't stop raining.

Can't wait!!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:1413 2006-05-14T17:52:54Z 2006-05-14T17:52:54Z This is where I get to bore you all to death with an account of my trip to Cardiff yesterday. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.<br /><br />I'd arranged with my brother that he should turn up at my place at 6.00am, so I got up before 5.30 with that in mind. Having put on a pot of coffee at about quarter to six I got a phone call from him saying that he's still waiting for a bus so can I meet him at the tube station at 6.00. I drank the coffee that had brewed and turned the machine off, packed my bag and went up to the station.<br /><br />We then had a trouble-free journey to Stratford (East London, not upon-Avon) resulting in a 6.45 arrival for a train scheduled to depart at 8 o'clock. Younger brother wanted to know why he couldn't have had an extra half hour in bed! We eventually made our way to Platform 11 to wait for our football special chartered train. Given that it's likely to be a very long time until West Ham get to the Cup Final again we'd decided to splash out on the day, bought the most expensive match tickets and travelling First Class (with meals!) to and from Cardiff.<br /><br />The train pulled out on time, an old-fashioned slam door model, and slowly wound its way around London. I'd been a bit worried because I hadn't realised that there was a route from Stratford to Cardiff and was pleased to discover that we went along the North London Line route as far as Willesden Junction where we switched onto the main line out of Paddington. It was a very comfortable journey, the train was full but places were limited and the seats gave us plenty of leg room. The meal on the way down was breakfast; juice, cereal, full English, toast, croissants and plenty of tea and coffee. Very nice.<br /><br />We arrived in Cardiff on time and well before kick-off so my brother and I decided to memorise our route back to the station and then wandered round the City for a bit. We browsed in Waterstones, had a look at the Castle but decided against strolling round the grounds because there was a charge. Then we went for a cup of tea and decided to make our way to the stadium. The gates didn't open until 1.00 so we spent a few minutes outside, looking at the river and arguing as to whether the birds on it were ducks, geese or gulls. Eventually we agreed that they were gulls but we've no idea what sort! Finally we were able to enter the Stadium and followed the (complicated) directions to our seats. I used the ladies loos and found them better than the ones at Upton Park but not as good as the ones at Villa Park (semi-final venue).<br /><br />The two hour build-up to kick off went fairly quickly. We saw the same adverts on the big screen several times but I liked the marching band and was pleased to see our injury doubts warming up with the other players. Shane Warne handed over the match ball (why?) and was booed. No surprise there then. The teams were announced, Abide with me and the National Anthem were sung and the match kicked off.<br /><br />After a slow start, West Ham got into their stride. Scaloni went down the right, crossed and Carragher put through his own net. One nil West Ham. Not too long afterwards Etherington had a shot which the Liverpool keeper fumbled and Ashton put home the rebound. Two nil to us. Unbelievable. For the first time I actually believed we were going to win. Underdogs West Ham two up on European Champions Liverpool! Of course it didn't last. The next main action was Shakka picking the ball out of the net following a Liverpool strike. Two one. Half time. In the first minute of the second half we should have scored. Harewood's shot was saved and Yossi's rebound shot was as well. <br /><br />Unfortunately we didn't hold onto our lead for as long as I'd have liked. Gerrard made it two two and no doubt the scousers felt it was only a matter of time before they scored the winner. I bet they got a shock when Konchesky's miss-hit cross sailed over the Liverpool keeper to put us three two ahead. We held on until 90 minutes but, as the announcer was telling us that there would be 4 minutes of stoppage time, Gerrard equalised. Three three and one of the most entertaing Cup Finals for years was heading for extra-time. 30 minutes later the score was the same. If only the woodwork hadn't denied us just before the end of the second half of extra time or if an injured Harewood had managed to hit the target from the rebound...<br /><br />Penalties it was and I knew we were going to lose. We didn't take them very well and lost. A great game and one we deserved to win. I hate penalty shoot-outs. Brother and I stayed to see the Cup and medals presented and to watch the laps of honour by the teams. We were pleased that there was no animosity between the two sets of fans; there was some taunting during the game but no real nastiness.<br /><br />So back to the station, an hour early, for the return journey. The football special to Victoria left earlier than fans were expecting so some of them missed it. Some of those were put on the special to Paddington, others on a normal train. Our train left about 15 minutes late, not too bad. We had a three course meal served on the return journey; pate, roast beef and all the trimmings and some sort of raspberry dessert. Lovely. We also got a couple of chocolates and were told we could take home the floral decorations from the tables. I don't think too many fans (most of whom were men) took them up on the offer! They were lovely, a large dark red carnation with loops of blue ribbon round them, surrounded by small white carnations and some greenery. For those who don't know, West Ham's colours are claret and blue.<br /><br />The train made up time and we got back to Stratford at 11.00 pm, on time. I had a good journey across London, finally getting home at five to midnight.<br /><br />All in all a great day. I'm just shattered at the moment and have to be up at 5.00 am for the next five days as I'm starting work at 6.30. So having had a lie in today I won't get another one until next Saturday although that one won't be a late one as I have a Stargate Day planned with friends..<br /><br />At the moment I'm watching the final on TV, having recorded it yesterday, and planning a very early night! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:1194 2006-05-11T09:14:15Z 2006-05-11T09:14:15Z So, I had the tooth out yesterday. Very high-tech, not. The dentist basically used several different torture instruments, twisted and pulled the tooth until it came out. Fortunately he'd numbed the area pretty well so it didn't hurt, it was just uncomfortable. And the after-care instructions? Take pain killers if there's pain and rinse the mouth with salt water! Like I couldn't have figured that out for myself. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ali888:873 2006-04-27T19:49:14Z 2006-04-27T19:49:14Z So, I've had a bit of a mixed week. It started out with West Ham beating Middlesborough on Sunday, reaching the FA Cup Final and qualifying for Europe next season. My brother and I went to the match and had a great time. On Monday and Tuesday next week we can apply for tickets for the final and we're pretty much guaranteed to get them. Brilliant. Now all we've got to do is beat Liverpool on May 13th...<br /><br />Now to the bad. I spent most of last night wide awake with toothache. I went to the dentist this afternoon and he tells me that I need to have a wisdom tooth removed. Apparently it's not too difficult and he can do the work, so no referral to some hospital or other but even so! I've never had a tooth taken out.
