Ruth's open-plan upper-middle-class fantasy home was a lot closer to my ideal space than the barn, with its cramped little worker’s kitchen and old-brown countertops. My kettle cost nineteen pounds from Argos. Ruth’s had all kinds of buttons and f...

Tadcaster Albion versus Chester City in the FA Cup
Three-nil up. Tadcaster were a good bunch of lads, friendly, doing their best, so we went about our business in a good way, passing the ball around, getting a few goals in the bag, then taking it easy....

Hey, F5 smashers! Stop smashing F5. Today's chapter is basically ready but I just this second had a better idea for the ending. Going to rework it. It will come today, unless you're in Japan and today is already yesterday. Or tomorrow. Okay hang tight bye.

Hi F5 smashers! Spare your keyboards today.
I need to work on the next chapter a bit more. The first draft is okay but I need to add 1) an ethnocentric joke 2) snappy dialogue 3) the emotional heart of the scene.
Which will take more than an hour I reckon.
Look out for it tomorr...

Chester 2, Chorley 0. Full time.
The results from our rivals were a mixed bag. Bradford got a good win, and Blyth picked up a point. But we were now only a point behind 18th-placed Farsley, who we would play soon, and three behind Buxton. All those other teams had games in hand, b...

I was pleased with the reaction to my first proper training session, but once the adrenaline wore off I started to have doubts. Had I asked for too much, too soon? Was there a risk that by putting an advanced concept into their heads, they'd fixate on that and for...
