Having a Laugh

Well I am stunned, Dennis Rommedahl, Charlton's "mercurial" winger has announced he does not want to play in the Championship, seeing as he never bothered in the Premiership I cannot see the issue......

Had a very busy evening, Spoke to the Jahn Teigen, Norways Mr Eurovision, oh dear I see a trip to Oslo looming..... Should be a good show on Saturday so tune in 4-7pm www.brfm.net.

I have been feeling stressed lately, work is difficult at the moment, and I am bringing the stress home, Feng Shui or however you spell it was suggested, but rejected as a load of old shite, so instead a new sofabed thing is in place , the living room has been moved about to create a more relaxed living area (sounds like Feng thingy to me) and some mild redecorating is planned, and amazingly I feel very relaxed in my new look living room, thanks to my special assistant, who dished out advice and Vienetta to follow my Lasgagne. I knew it just needed a ladies touch!

2 shows to go, looking forward to not having to travel on a Saturday, will miss the whole radio thing but my reasons are to be found on previous posts.... Fleet Fm, the new venture is looking good to go, we have a brand new sparkling studio with excellent facilities, so should be live web streaming soon before the big launch later in the year. Its 20 mins from home and easy to get to, so a big plus, oh and I am a Director there as well, so will play my part in decision making!

Taking the boy to the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow nigh to continue to further his musical educations, we are off to see The Waterboys, Horror Boy is looking forward to it and has learnt the words to The Glastonbury Song and The Whole of The Moon as well, I took him to see Tears for Fears a while back, before they came on he pleaded with me not to get up and sing and dance when they came on, so I agreed, on come Roland and Curt, they play the first bars of the opening song and which Finch is on his chair singing, dancing and generally behaving in a manner which was entirely against our agreement? well it was not me!
We are in a box tomorrow (wine, food the lot) so certain standards are expected........

Well there we were 1-0 to Spurs, with 20 mins to go, and on comes Jermaine Defoe, and the choir begin the serenade of our former trainee...Winker Jermaine Defoe they sung with gusto, I sat there thinking please stop motivating him, he will score, and so it came to pass, Jermaine struck in injury time to confirm what we already knew. For all the passion they showed last night there was not enough skill, and where was this passion pre Pardew? A hardy bunch of stayed behind and waited for the team to come out again, they looked distraught and Diawarra was immense, he came up to the East Stand and was shaking hands with the fans, top class in my book. I could see my mate Dave was in the PA box with his head in his hands, poor Dan was in tatters, and when Dave put Let it Be on I nearly lost it... oh well heres to the Championship next season and 6 points off the Palarse!!!!
Yours in defiance
PS can we drop the idea of legal action against West Ham, we got what we deserved.

Well its been a strange day today, We recorded an interview with Nicky Stevens of Brotherhood of Man, which went very well, then just as we finished I got a text telling me someone I knew had died overnight, she had been ravaged by cancer and we knew it was coming, but its still a bit of a shock, but at least her pain is at an end, she has two children one is 12 the other is only 18 months, too young.
Things like this put everything into perspective, spoke to a few friends yesterday about Charlton, all of us are very down about Charlton, but then you get news like this and you realise its only a game and not worth getting too upset over, there are more important things in life. There are two kids who have lost their mum, having lost my Dad before I knew him and my mum in my twenties I know how they must be feeling. So please excuse me tomorrow night if am not too bothered at the end of the game.

Oh Dear


Gawd, Well I never thought for a minute that Fulham would get anything against Liverpool, but of course I forgot to factor in that Rafar Benitez would rest 9 players from their European game, I only hope in the interest of fairness the same team that played today trots out against Charlton a week tomorrow, can't see that happening, West Ham pulled away again with another win, now the question is which Man Utd is going to turn up next week? Wigan, well I think they have lost it completely, so Monday night becomes win or bust.

The show was ok today, the live streaming was bit off putting, prefer the other version myself......
So just two more shows to go, looks like I have lift down there for my last few shows, I am fed up with a 5 hour round trip and 6 trains there and back... Cannot wait to have my Saturdays back!

Oh dear, I have just visited www.brfm.net, and we have a new webcam, and it broadcasts live moving images!!! God I need make up for radio now! Oh dear this means that people can see exactly what we eat during the show (none of it healthy) what we drink (again none healthy) and no more feet on the desk for me! Still at least it will show Dave Williams diet to the world, which to me seems to involve chocolate, the sod has no fat on him, I just look at a lump of chocolate and theres a Kilo on..... Tomorrows show will have all the usual stuff, plus with Sittingbournes season at an end there is no game for John 'the legend' Pitts to report on, so he is coming to the studio! Will probably be my last time doing anything on the radio with John, which is a shame, over the past 4 years or so I have enjoyed my banter with the legend, and he has taken it all very well.
Right best get on with some work, the bacon and egg buttie was gorgeous and the cappacinio added to it.......

Well Summer is here, how do I know this, because for the first time we played outdoors! Was very good to get out of the indoor nets, it gets a bit claustrophobic indoors, so the was good to get onto the pitch at Avery Hill, the problem is at £70 a go its not cheap, and correct me of I am wrong £70 is a fair old whack and you would expect a decent wicket and half decent outfield, but the outfield was riddled with potholes and a little bit dodgy in places. Still there was plenty of banter flying around, especially from the white clad figure at first slip who has a passing resemblance to me, I managed to bowl at a very decent speed with some chin music flying around! best not talk about the batting!

The Fat Lady is Warming Up

Ok its not over until the fat lady sings, well she has well and truly finished her warm up and is taking a deep breath for the opening bars........
Yes this Monday Bank Holiday is shit or bust time for Alan Pardews mighty Red Army, I have been having a good old gander at the fixtures, and I have come to this conclusion....we are fuc...... no wait! Wigan and Fulham are in freefall, West Ham have some tough games looming, Bolton and Man U to be precise, so I reckon 4 points or even 3 points could see us safe.... so next Monday (and sorry for upsetting anyone in the Leyton area) we can sort those namby pamby silky skillled bottlers Spurs out at the Valley... no worries, so thats 3 points, then finally we face Liverpool at Anfield on the last day needing a point, and lo and behold Liverpool are in the European Cup Final having seen off the Jose and his pots of cash at Anfield, so they rest 50% of the 1st XI and wham bam 3 points for Charlton man alive.....Safety!!!!!
Having got that off my chest after taking advice from a certain female of the species I will see out my last 3 shows with BRFM and leave with my head held high!!! So as a result of this decision I have got to phone Nicky Stevens, who she I hear you ask? Nicky is one quarter of Brotherhood of Man, and we will be recording an interview with her this weekend for broadcast on May 12th, I also have to ring Cheryl Baker of Bucks Fizz to arrange her interview as well! its all go for us name droppers.
Yours with starz in his eyes
