Amateur carer day and I have the one man disaster as one of them. Anyway, it's needles time...  But first the wearisome assembly, pricking, testing etc. - what a life... |

And that's 30m fishing around, adjusting the angle of the bed (so the blood shed from the needle prick in my test finger doesn't drip straight off [which it does so I have to rearm the equipment]), and now I have to clear up... Looking on the bright side some folks have diabetes most of their lives - developing diabetes Type 1 in my 70s isn't that level of angst. And the required insulin dose has been reduced two thirds since I was discharged from hospital... |

Had assumed type 2 Chumbles.
Good about the drop in insulin needed though.
Hello. Monday. Marvellous.

hi
I finished Carlos Castaneda’s ‘A Separate Reality’ this morning. The flat has two copies of ‘The Journey to Ixtlan’. I’ve started reading that now.
A part of me thinks it would be ok to swap the copy of ‘A Separate Reality’, which I purchased from a local shop, with the extraneous copy of ‘The Journey to Ixtlan’ in the flat. I mean this is in the hypothetical situation of me not finishing the second book by the time we leave.
Would it be stealing? Yes - technically … But - I would be replacing an extraneous copy of one book with another book that completes the series.
I’ll search my feelings at the time of exit.

Just back from the dentist, all clear, so no more fretting for 6/8 months.
Strangely I only started going back a couple of years ago and only had to have one filling, which itself was identified 15 years previously.
Had to have 2 sessions of plaque removal though, some of which sounded like a bullet going off in my mouth. 4*

Don Juan would say …
I’m not 100 percent sure. This is why I need to read the third book.

I've got a dental hygienist appt on Wednesday. First time I've seen a hygienist in years. Cleaning teeth last thing at night before going to bed is not as easy as it sounds when your as lazy as I am.

Apparently both whisky (and other non-sweet spirits) and cheese are good at removing unwanted bacteria from the mouth. So a supper (or breakfast) of whisky and cheese means you don't have to brush your teeth. |

The 12.11 train from Sheffield to Manchester on 4 February 2023. A date, time and destination that will forever be etched on my mind.
The day started promisingly, a clear mild day and I had reached the train station without incident. The platform was very crowded, but two trains were due in before mine so I hoped my train would not be busy. I was wrong to assume this. A four carriage train arrived, already packed full with every seat taken. As the doors opened it was open warfare with everyone running and pushing to get on. The elderly and infirm were cast aside to make way for the strong and able. I managed to secure a small space at the end of a carriage but I was stood up and crammed next to people. It was hot and stuffy and I would be like this for an hour. There was a toilet close by and the impact of this would soon be clear.
The train was full of football supporters. Crystal Palace were playing at Manchester United and the train was choked with cockney, beer swilling fats. Crystal Palace fans? No, bizarrely these were Manchester United fans, complete with cockney swagger. They required to toilet constantly and therefore there was a constant line of these wheezing shit twits pressed against me to get to the toilet, piss away their beer and do more bumps of coke. For a fucking hour it was a parade of twattery as they kept coming over.
However the highlight of the ride was when a middle aged woman came storming up the aisle squeezing and bellowing as she saw the queue to the toilet, “I’ve had twins, let me through now I can’t hold it in”. Then there was some debate among the footy fans and the remaining passengers as to who was entitled to the bog next. As this woman was pressed firmly against me she came out with the line which won her the toilet, “I’m a mess down there and I about to pee now!” In my mind I had a vision of someone taking a shotgun to a lasagne. I feared the worst.
Luckily she squeezed on through and made the toilet and the line went on as before, with the occasional bottle pissed into in open view when fans were unable to get to the toilet.

Have you never met the Cockney Reds? They are the best, a delightful bunch.
Top 5 fan groups to share a train/tube with, imho.
1) Millwall
2) Man Utd
3) Chelsea
3) West Ham
5) W*lv*s
I am not convinced Birmingham fans are great (certainly in the past), but they are my people so I do not feel threatened by them.
I once spent a Saturday morning outside a train toilet on the way to Bristol with a group Millwall fans. I accidentally forgot to tell them I was a football fan. I think it would have been ok, but there would have been hassle and stories about fighting Blues fans. I decided absolute cowardice and an amused tolerance of their drunk and coked up antics was the way forward.

I once had to share a train carriage from London to Liverpool with a load of pissed up Everton fans after they'd played Fulham. The group of three at the table opposite us were openly doing coke, and every time one of them went to the toilet, the leader would wind up the other one that the absent guy had been talking shit about him. This led to a fight, and a bottle almost hitting me in the head and landing near the small child we had with us (for the avoidance of doubt - my child). They apologised in a cheerful scouse manner then went back to screaming and throwing things. This was in First Class, which we'd upgraded to in order to avoid the mob. When I went to the loo myself, I discovered that the next carriage had 40 police officers in it, none of whom wanted anything to do with calming down the cokeheads.
All in all, a good day out, would recommend. 4 stars.

Weekend first has always been popular with football fans. Keeps the attention of the police away from you. No one travelling first class would be difficult so you don't need to be policed.

We were going to go to Lewes on Saturday but realised, when we got to the station, that the train to Lewes was taking all the Brighton and Hove Albion fans to their home ground.
That’s all I’ve got. We turned around and went to Hove instead.

As I've said before I like to sit near, but not in, first class when I get the train to work. Adds an air of class to the journey. Of course no lines of coke or throwing bottles, just good old fashioned coffee and a pastry, or a hull adjacent if the queue in Starbucks is too extensive.
