I shall be leading my drum corps out in Lewes on the 5th too. Rather a different entourage to the Cliffe's Tubthumpers though.

I'm jolly touched by all your kind messages and the support we've had. I'm delighted at how chipper His Lordship is. We've just been visited by the District Nurses and on their way out the senior nurse said "Your husband looks amazing! When we read his notes we were expecting to see someone...

He was indeed in tremendously good form tonight and I know he thoroughly enjoyed your visit.

Thanks for your kind words and good wishes. I suspect I may decline any offers of "foreign art-house" films on the grounds that his blood pressure has been variable enough already. However, he does have access to NSC on his various devices (I checked this out) so when he is a little more "of...

He's got a contract S3, a Kindle HD Fire and my tiny little laptop up there with him - all allowing easy access to the internet using the free hospital wi-fi. Not surprisingly, though, given the alarming bandwidth it'd use up, the wifi services blocks iPlayer and any other TV viewing sites...

Lord B has asked me to post an update on his state of health since he's been very touched by the thoughtful wishes he's received all the while he's been ill. He was admitted to St. Thomas' Hospital in London (Northumberland Ward) last week where, on Thursday he had an epically huge operation...

Second everything Lord B said. Warmest wishes to Tony's lovely family who were beyond generous in their conversation with us before the game. I refuse to believe it was coincidental that the goal came in the 67th minute too! I'll always remember it as a finely timed goal for a very fine friend.

Having had the privilege of knowing Tony as a fellow Albion fan and working with him at REMF events, I can truly say that he was a man who had absolutely no agenda beyond making the world a better place. He worked tirelessly for REMF because of the goodness of the cause. At no point did he ever...

Tony at this year's REMF Memorial Match - May 2014

Such sad news. He was a good friend and a thoroughly decent chap. It was a pleasure to know him and my thoughts are with his family.

Disgraceful. But then I suppose that's normal for Basingstoke.

I'll be there drumming at The Stade on Sunday and in Monday's Jack In The Green procession. It's one of the best weekends of the year and I'm off to Hastings tomorrow afternoon to make the most of it! Here's some of us getting ready for the off last year...

A couple of team pictures:

I admire your efforts and enthusiasm. Other people have picked up on the need for proof-reading (check those apostrophes!) and this isn't because they are ar5eholes but because attention to detail is an inherent part of working as a professional photographer. If your website contains casual...

When WILL they learn their place, these wimmin? A little light embroidery or perhaps the occasional competitive kitten-tossing competition are acceptable pursuits on those rare occasions when domestic duties are done but rough MANLY games like Association Football are totally unsuitable for...

I'm very pleased to announce that we've had some excellent news. Lord B had an appointment with the oncologist yesterday evening and we were told that, following some pretty gruelling treatment since last June, his scans revealed no signs of cancer. Obviously he's going to be closely monitored...

Just what every child wants for Christmas dinner...

A challenging place where the water meter is three miles away.

I was already at home. So feeling thoroughly cheated about being unable to contribute to this discussion, I drove from Firle to Lewes Station and back. Which took half an hour. Plus a minute or so for Lord Bracknell to forget what our car looks like.

Short measures were the order of the day in the North Stand yesterday. In the main people were accepting of them for the simple reason that it was better to get less than a pint than it was to die of thirst. Again, it was a training and support issue because the helpful and friendly person...
