Todays the day .....

..... when I hope we all but clinch promotion, have a good time in the BCB and ... oh, and I nearly forgot, it's my 50th birthday (senile dementia must be kicking in already!). Many thanks for all the best wishes from friends (old & new, far and near) and I'm looking forward to a great day. We've seen all sorts of celebrations for 50th birthday such as big parties in the club, trips to Las Vegas etc, and all have a place but going to the match and having a few drinks with your mates takes some beating, especially as the game should be a good 'un and, best of all, the 'prodigal son from down School Avenue' is showing signs of a rekindling of interest following a long period in the wilderness. Now what usually happens is that Sunderland play a stinker and we all go home deflated but we can all cope with that too as we've all been there before so still upbeat and really looking forward to it.
