Head Space Daily Words...

If the first episode of This Is England '90 lulled me into a false sense of nostalgic security, the second episode whacked me severely about the chops and squeezed me through a terrifying, emotional mangle. Kelly is lost, looking like a tripped out, messed up Notts Bridget Bardot with all that long blonde hair and black eye shadow. There has not been a more vulnerable heroine since Lol in This Is England '86. When Gadge asked Kel if she was alright at the end of the episode and gave her a hug, he was doing it on behalf of us all. It was a national group hug. With news that Combo is returning, to live with Lol and Woody, our emotions are set to be tossed around like a ball baring in a pinball machine. Only terrible things lie in store and I will be peering out from between my fingers...

Last Saturday, I had the misfortune of taking my boys to see Villa play against West Brom. On the short train journey from New Street, the train broke down betwen Duddeston and Aston. On our right hand side, leering over us like a massive flat pack temple of doom was St.Andrew's, the ground of our fiercest rivals, Birmingham City. The driver, as if to rub salt into the wounds, given the fact that Villa are struggling in the Premier League, announced over the tannoy "we will be here for some time due to a points problem." He must have been a Birmingham supporter. After 45 minutes we moved the hundred metres into Aston station and then watched Villa put in an abject performance and lose 1-0. At least we beat Birmingham last night in the League Cup...
