Well, this week/weekend was mainly about 2 things: The L Word and Eurovision. I’m watching the L word and catching up with all the old series, I’m almost at the end of series 2 now. And obviously I’ve watched Eurovision, got some alcohol and had a great night. The right song has won, Lena from [...]

Well, this is my first post after quite a few days. Quite a bit happened though. My housemate is fully out to my family now, and they all accept her, where I’m really happy about. That my best friend gets accepted by my family means a lot to me! I hope everybody sees that the [...]

Well, last Wednesday I could add another ground to my list: The Riverside Stadium! At my work I could get free tickets for a charity game so I decided to go there. It’s a good ground, but far too much like all these other modern grounds nowadays, where did the originality go? The game itself [...]

The horrible David Cameron is the new prime minister… First of all, I am really disappointed in Nick Clegg.

Saturday morning at 6 I took the plane, arriving at the Reeperbahn just before 11. Then the partying [...]

Well, the elections are over and I have mixed feelings about the results. The worst negative is that the Tories are the biggest party their cuts will harm the economy even more, will raise unemployment by a lot and kill off some public services. I agree that cuts are needed (no-one can deny that) but [...]

Well, I have had a long day at work. Today marked the start of the monthly reporting and considering the bank holiday yesterday (although I had to do some work from home) there was even more to do today. But I coped with it and I could leave work just after 5, although I did [...]

Okay, he might still be hated in England, but in The Netherlands he has achieved something magnificent! With FC Twente he managed to win the Dutch league today after a 2-0 away win against NAC Breda. For the first time in their history they have won it and for the first time since 1964 a [...]

Well, I didn’t post for a few days, but I’m back now! Last Thursday I didn’t feel that well and quite soon after work I went to bed. I could hardly eat anything and felt really tired. Yesterday I started feeling better, it was not fantastic in the morning but I just went to work [...]
