Upside down!

This week my hubby has had the week off and has embarked on sorting the kitchen out. Its been a madhouse here, dust all over, and we've had half the kitchen in the living room all week. Anyway, its taking shape now, of course there where things he ended up doing that we didn't think would need doing.
Friday was my 27th Wedding Anniversary, we went out for a meal on the Saturday before, but on the actual day I cleared off to my Parents and left the Hubster to bang about!
It never ceases to amaze me how time catches up with you, that we've been married 27 years. I still think the world of him (most of the time) and that's amazing considering he supports bloody Rovers. If he'd have told me who he supported when we met I'd have told him to bugger off! :)

The worlds gone mad (again!)

According to my morning paper, 'famous' artist Damien Hurst (he who sticks dead animals in Formaldehyde) has been having a bit of a sell off of his art works, for example this item pictured was sold for £10.3 million, yes you read that correctly, over TEN MILLION QUID! What sort of people buy this stuff? I know I wouldn't want it in my front room!
You know the old fairy tale about the 'Emperor's New Clothes'? Well I would bet that when he wrote the story, Hans Christian Anderson would have never believed how it could be a fable for our times. Certain people say how something or someone is so fabulous, and the sheep go along to not appear out of the loop.
Anyway, maybe Damien is getting in while the going is good, the way the markets are falling right now, there is going to be a lot less idiots about with the money to pay his prices!!

Byeee Gazza, make sure the door doesn't hit yer on the way out!

Mr Carvell (pictured left after playing in one of those finals he longs to play in with Warrington

Prop Gareth Carvell has left Hull FC and signed for Warrington. You may remember Mr Carvell, for it was he who signed a contract one day (after arseing around for some months, and therefore stalling a lot of negotiations with other players) then the next morning said he had changed his mind.
Well he's off to Warrington on a very sweet deal, and we have got a transfer fee. Apparently Mr Carvell wants to play in more finals (so 3 in 4 years isn't enough then G?)
He's done some good work for us in the past, and I wish him well. But now he has taken off the Black & White all I've got to say is...
BYEEEEEEEEEEE! OFF YOU POP!

An end to a very ordinary season.

So the season ended for Hull FC with a dire performance at The Sith. It has to be said that the Wembley appearance flattered to deceive, and it also has to be said that there has to be a major clear out at the club, too many players are taking the piss, and are just going through the motions. What some of them don't seem to understand is that most of the fans that support them, (Through thick and VERY thin this season) would give their right arms to pull on the Black and White they wear
Anyway, according to THIS article in the Yorkshire Post, Coach Richard Agar has started to sort the wheat from the Chaff, and I wish him well.

Barcodes and Humbugs.

I've always had a soft spot for the Barcodes (Newcastle Utd) I think maybe because they seem to mirror Hull FC so much. Both play in Black and White, (The stripes the other way of course) both have fans that adore their club, the enemy play in red and white, and seem to fall from one disaster to another.
Completely different sports of course, but both areas are very similar, and the clubs are at the heart of their community's. That makes them (the clubs) very important, and maybe fosters a kind of love for them that can seem strange to many.
It looks like they've lost a coach early on in the season like we did this season, maybe they'll end up at Wembley like we did, and loose most probably!
