HOT HOT HOT

How nice is this weekend? bloody great it is. Spent the day yesterday relaxing and drinking lots of beer on a boat turned into a pub by Embankment on the Thames with a couple of mates. Saw some of my relatives, was walking out of the tube and saw my cousin and she was going off to meet some of my other cousins and aunt for my Sisters hen doo. Small world hey !

London was packed out yesterday. The tube was smelly. Come on people have a shower. The driver on the tube said a message over the tanoy system asking people to stop playing with the doors. At that point everyone looks at me standing by the door, it was the same all along i.e. anyone by the door was getting stared at and like fools we start shaking our heads and shruging as to say not me.

While on the subject of tubes. It is worth pointing out to everyone that getting on the tube from Leicester Square to Convent Garden takes more effort changing and walking to the platforms then it does actullay walking there ! Check the overground map and you will be shocked how close tube stations are. Look here

Feel sorry for you all in this heat but good luck to all those doing the London Brighton bike ride. Hope your OK Dan and Lucy !!!

Real Life is going to be keeping me busy for the next 2 weeks so next post will be around 3rd July. Try to keep it together without me.

Right now I'm sitting in the garden with a wireless laptop :-) Next job is to get BBQ out I think and chill some beers.

Baby news - Mrs PF went out for my sisters hen doo yesterday in town. Chosen One was getting patted a lot. Not sure Mrs PF liked her belly being patted but that wont stop my Sister and her friends. Heard that Mum is saying that she has 3 grandchildren. She has 2 that are walking this land, the 3rd is the chosen one. The Chosen One is getting bigger.

Footie news
- Bye bye AJ I Must leave

Is it really about his England chances or that he can get lots more money. Lets be honest he is behind Owen, Rooney, Defoe maybe even Smith and a fit Heskey who has got back in the frame. He would have better luck scoring the goals in the fizzy pop league to get us to the top of the league then he would in the prem league for the following reasons. The defenders in the Prem league learnt to deal with him and the refs were not giving him anything for falling over.

Is it his agent? his agent will not get fee if he can not get AJ a move. I really hate agents. Jordan is saying that he will not sell him. Fair play but lets get some money for him. I dont think he is England class and have been saying that all season. I knew this would happen as soon as he got a call up to the England team.

Yep goodbye Mr I'm no big time Charlie and will stay to get Palace back up.

Todays Fact - Babies start dreaming even before they're born.

What about?

On this day - Rosenbergs executed

On June 19, 1953, despite international pleas for clemency, U.S. civilians Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are executed in the electric chair in Ossining, New York. Known for their communist leanings, they were convicted of assisting a Los Alamos spy pass atomic secrets to the Soviets. Occurring at the height of red menace hysteria in the United States in the 1950s, evidence suggests that the government was not certain whether the Rosenbergs were guilty. In one of her last letters before being executed, Ethel Rosenberg wrote, my husband and I must be vindicated by history; we are the first victims of American Fascism.

Todays Joke - I like these ones:
GREAT MOMENTS IN COURT
