Hi everyone,
As you know, this year I will not be running a Fantasy Football competition, as baby Skelly number 2 is on the way in less than 6 weeks, and that’s where all of my efforts will be. Unfortunately, I’ve not had any takers for the running of the competition, so I’m calling it a day. Big thanks to everyone who particpated in the past…I hope you find a suitable replacement.
Thanks again – Leo.
We headed over to West Kirby on Wirral yesterday, and it was lovely just to sit on the beach for an hour or two, relaxing in the sun and playing with Seán. The tranquility, however, was interrupted when a mother in close proximity to ourselves, shouted to her own little one, “Don’t play with other people’s balls!”. Ye just wouldn’t, would ye!
Happy Birthday Nana! It was Nana’s 74th birthday yesterday, and tonight, we’re off to her house for some fine dining, wine & champagne…joining us will be some of the rest of the family. Also celebrating their birthday with Nana are the beautiful Irene Hughes, Albert Warner (Warner Bros), David Essex, Daniel Radcliffe, Monica Lewinsky, Woody Harrelson and Slash! Rock on Nana & Irene!
It’s the CC’s public talkback session in Sefton today, and muggins here is doing the I.T. for it. This is the 4th year that I’ve done it, and not being a fan of his, it’s not an occasion that I enjoy. The weather outside is crap – dark and rainy – and if this year is anything like other years, there’ll be 30 people (or less) there, and the main complaints will be kids playing football on the street, speeding cars, and dog-fouling…everything you would expect the CC to be concerned about! On the plus side, I get to have a big lie-in in the morning!
Watch out for it…it won’t happen again until 2090. At 12:34 and 56 seconds, on the 7th of August 2009, the time frame will read 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9. Cooool.
Today is Seán’s 3rd birthday…and time just seems to be whizzing by. It’s really wonderful to see him grow up and develop, but it’s also a bit scary to see just how much he’s come into his own! To celebrate, last weekend we went to Drayton Manor near Tamworth, and Seán absolutely loved Thomas Land (Thomas the Tank Engine).
Happy birthday, Seán xx.
BIG congrats to Paul & Dawn who’ve just announced that Parker Wilson baby number two is on the way. The Liverpool Skellys are absolutely delighted at the news….hooray!! Sorry I missed you guys yesterday – someone has to bring home the bacon, and all that.
Hi everyone,
This coming season (2009/10), I will not be running a Fantasy Football competition. Having run it for the last 4 years, I’ve made this decision because Skelly baby number two is on the way this September, and because I’m really with a couple of other projects right now, principally The Odyssey. If you fancy running it yourself, it takes around 4 hours to set up at the beginning of the season, and 30 mins per week thereafter. Obviously, if you don’t have a website of your own from which to run it, you could always set up a mailing list for the results side of things. If you’re interested, please get in touch with me via my ‘contact’ page, and I’ll pass on the necessaries.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time and the interest to participate over the last 4 years.
Leo.
