I consoled myself that, centre employees aside, there was nobody in the cafe I couldn't beat in a fight. Three years later, that remains the case, though the gap is closing fast.
Mrs Idle (who still works) and I have brunch there almost every Monday. It's nice to have some structure to your week. I haven't been bored for a moment since I stopped working.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!3 -

I notice that roughly double the number of Charlton fans, are positive and able to find things that please them, rather than those posting negative opinions!.0

Being accosted by a young Portuguese chap in the supermarket cafe this morning on seeing my Charlton shirt. He asked me if the club shop would export to Portugal, and then went on to tell me he used to play FIFA or somesuch video game as Charlton back in 2004-ish. He obviously wasn't an avid follower, as he didn't know we got promoted this year, but I'll take it...4

I do like a good moan.7 -
The weather today.
Dull, overcast, rain on & off. So much better than the last few days of heat and humidity.
Hopefully, a good night's kip under the duvet tonight, rather than on top of it.4 -
The 106 year old man who has put his longevity down to a daily helping of custard.
This is a fact that I have known since childhood. My mum used to serve custard for afters seven days a week. We'd have it with rhubarb crumble, apple pie, tins of mixed fruit, stewed apples, tinned apricots/pears in fact you name it ... On a Sunday we'd have ice cream and custard ... the creme de la creme.
I recall my dear departed child bride presenting me with a very nice first dinner after we married in 1976. I also remember the conversation turning distinctly frosty when i asked her what was for afters? "Afters?" she said. "what do you mean?" "Oh you know" I said, "Something with custard".
In the next few nano seconds it became abundantly clear that this practice was to be stopped forthwith. It was also suggested that there was an opportunity for me to return to my mothers house and home.
Anyway, using the negotiating skills of Kofi Annan I managed to avoid a one way ticket back to mum's house, but not even Kofi Annan could convince my new bride to put custard on the menu
(It was Pearce Duffs for me).

On a cruise just off Norwegian coast and not quiet in the artic circle yet, just seen a large whale slapping his tail and showing off for around 5 minutes, awaiting to try to find out what kind it was from the expert on board got a tal in half hour. Always wanted to see that, but never thought I would. Fantastic show might have been two as it could be part of there mating ritual.12

We took our daughters to the open day of a girls' secondary school in Surrey on Friday. We were shown around by two Year 8 students who were the absolute highlight of the experience. They were bright, confident and chatty and clearly loved their school.
I had to laugh. If they let the Year 8s from my school do the tours, it would have been a disaster. They'd have been showing the parents the best graffiti and telling them which teachers were wankers.8 -
That story about that CEO cheating on his wife with the head of HR at a Coldplay concert has generated some great internet content.2
