Woo Hoo!


After nearly 30 years of supporting Hull FC I have my very first season pass! 

The old man put on a disguise and went for it today as part of my Xmas pressie.

I am very happy :)

Happy New Year to everyone :)

Who needs Coronation St, Eastenders, Or Even Emmerdale Farm..

.. When you support Leeds United??

Do we ever have a quiet time at the club when nout happens? The news has come through this morning that Manager Gary McAllister has been sacked. I have to say after yesterdays very dissapointing result at MKDons it was on the cards. I must admit to thinking he would be given the Xmas period to turn things around though.

The thing is, Macca got us playing a lot better technically, we started playing on the deck and we saw some lovely stuff in attack....but the defence, well, I was frightened to death everytime we got a free kick or a corner against us! We have been, to be frank, bloody useless.

So, we'll see who Chairman Bates appoints, you can call the old sod (and many Leeds fans do) but one thing he doesn't do is arse about!

Just a quick post....

For the last 5 days I have been battling a virus on my PC, and what a pesky devil it was. It blocked access to most of my scanners, I couldn't access PC security websites and when I got something working it wouldnt update. Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome where unusable, the only browser I could do anything with was Opera. So whether that is a recommendation or not I couldn't say, but the fact speaks for itself.

In the end I thought I'd have a look for scanning software that wasn't so well known, because if I was one of those little rats who write these things, I would block the most popular types of software and sites. Anyway, I found these 2 progs, called Norman Malware cleaner, and the other called Dr Web Cureit! I dont know which one got the little beastie (or beasties as it turned out) but they freed up everything and my anti virus started to kick in big time, and the scanners that wouldn't update/work before suddenly did!

I was on the verge of re-formatting and starting from scratch, so thank God for that! I found both pieces of software here

The Big 50

Well this week, you could say, is a big week for both my Husband and I. We both turn 50. He will on Wednesday, and it will be my turn the day after. I've always given him stick about being older than I am!
I'm not upset or anything about reaching 50. Age hardly ever bothers me to be honest. I did have a bit of a crisis of confidence when I hit 40, but 10 years later, I'm just not bothered.
To be honest I'm pretty settled, I don't spend my time worrying about things I maybe missing out on in my life. I have 2 lovely daughters, a Husband who I love to bits, and a wonderful family. OK. there are some things I'd like, just like most people, but when I think about it, they don't really matter.
I think that is the main thing about getting older, things you always thought where so important......just aren't.
