Important statement from the North West Counties League and Midands Football League. Hard not to agree with the it. In an age when costs at this level are so important to keeping clubs alive the FA needs to reign itself it regarding allocations. #nonleague

Job Centre visit done. A necessary evil but fare play met a different person who gave me a few pointers I'd not come across before.

Rare to go throught Chorlton without a book haul. Today saw some gaps filled with some Hamish Macbeth. Inspector Montalbano and a George Orwell. Loads more but the budgets tight at the mo

Modern life irritations part 95

Why do libraries always seem to have books 2,3,4 etc by an author on the shelves but never number 1 so you can start at the beginning.

Is some devious bugger hoarding all the first books of series??

Making modern life difficult part 94

Go to Post Office. 2 packs of cds to send via Royal Mail as I quoted on Ebay. Price always seems to be different each time. PO puts Evri labels on my packages. Who the hell is running the postage on this country?
