I am still reeling with the shocks I had on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These were as follows:
1. My useless boss has now resigned after 18 months. It appears that his management style, or lack thereof, was not appreciate by our new UK MD. They had decided that they'd appoint a "consultant", who just happens to be a good friend of our MD, to "assist" him in his work. He therefore saw the writing on the wall and quit.
I can't say that I'm to upset at this. After all he is the man who, at the time of English Dragon's stroke asked me how things were going. When I proceeded to answer with at update he said: "I don't care about that. What about your figures for this month?"
A great man manager he was not.
2. Liverpool beat Chelsea and reached the FA Cup Final. Just the people we want to play.
3. Pontypool win their first game in months and help to lift themselves out of the relegation zone, at least for now.
4. West Ham were able to overcome Middlesborough and reach the FA Cup Final and guarantee a place in the UEFA Cup for next season. There's a possibility of a trip to somewhere exotic to follow them. Knowing my luck it'll be Azerbaijan in December.
All of the above I put down to meeting the wife. Since that day Wales have won the Grand Slam, West Ham were promoted, England won the Ashes, West Ham have survived, and done outstandingly well in the Premiership, and reached the FA Cup Final. What more can I say?
