If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
To let it go! And so to fade away
To let it go!
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flack
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
This desparation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah
And so fade away
To let it go, oh No
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping oh no no

TV Music
The glasto coverage on the beeb was pretty good last night although predictable.I swapped between all 3 channels and thought that Lupe Fiasco was superb with massive crowd while the main stage crowd looked poor.The Jazz stage did look the place to be although Jimmy Cliff was a good sleep inducer.It was nice of Edith to congratulate her partner on a superb performance! Really?... The Ting Tings are they really that great,a couple of good songs from an average lp that is quite diverse (tv only places the same songs)I hear that Franz played a secret gig up in the park.Will the beeb show any of this? The radio is saying that they are based up in the park area, so lets hope so.
The Mandela concert, Umm...Great sentiment shouted out by hollow souls that will forget all about it this morning.I hate this gold ring that they put at the front of these park gigs for the nouvelle rich,so called celebrities and record company children.The ring was half full for most of the night,with the real fans 200m from the stage.Mind you that was probably a treat when the sugarbabes warbled on.
As for Mandela, he looked his age and appeared to not have a clue about what was going on.The man is a Legend though but just let him retire in dignity and simply have a birthday in his own home.

Women Huh! always wanting you to do more
A woman keeps asking her husband if her boobs are too small. ''Does this shirt make them look bigger? Does this one make them look smaller?'' she asks.
The next day her husband buys her a mirror. Before bed, she always looks in the mirror and asks her husband, ''Does this shirt make them look bigger? Does this one make them look smaller?''
Finally he gets so annoyed that he says, ''I know how to make them larger!''
''How!?!?!?'' she asks.
''Take a bunch of toilet paper and rub it in between your boobs.''
''Well how long does it take?'' she asks.
''They should expand over the years,'' he answers.
''How did you know that?'' she wonders.
'I dunno, but it sure worked for your ass, didn't it?'''

Today is supposed to be the happiest day of the year according to some Cardiff psychologist who has done the maths! What ?
Anyhow it is a day when i get to go to see the horses and lose my money to chubby red faced men waving their arms and get to top it off with the Canadian rocker Mr Adams singing his little heart out just for me(well the wife anyhow.)
Look into my eyes ....!! I have to say he is not my taste in music but why not take a bite from the other side of the apple now and again.
As its the longest day of the year again enjoy the daylight.Its all darker days from here on in.

Come on Down Mr Julian Joachim
& turn yourself into a Kings Lynn Legend. After many many ex league players just using us for the money it looks like we may finally have one that can still do the business. All of the Darlington forums are praising the "Jockey"and several posters are calling us an ambitious club!! Ssh! now please,we don't want the rest of the BSN to know anything about us until at least Christmas when we are stuck in that top 3 about to make the second push for the Conference premier.
Well done DB for waking up and smelling the coffee before emptying the nippers nappy.
Matty Matty Matty,you have made the wrong choice but Mr Hay will look after you.
Ambition?? or are you still doing overtime sorting out T5's luggage.Cheers for all the Quality moments that you gave us.
Have you grabbed a bit of that 22/1 yet being offered at bet sq. Terrific value after all of the skinny prices we have been for the past few seasons. Each way is the must have bet.
I read all of the journey men are also trying to hold the club to ransom. Well done El-Chairman for telling them were to get off and to join that dole queue which is getting longer by the day.
Bring on those fixtures and lets get this season organised for travel.£19 travelodge rooms anyone? or is it a bit of early season camping? Wrists at the ready boyz!

Hemingway on a tuesday
If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them,so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brace impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Six hours for a committee to decide if a club (Halifax) that has gone into liquidation should win their appeal? guess the free lunch,dinner,malt whisky,breakfast and lunch again brigade woke up and smelt the coffee yesterday when they arrived for their meeting .Will Bostcum go ? On a playing level No,a local game would be nice Dennis.On a personal level yes,if it was us we would be in the north west norfolk league by now.

This Week is National Carers week
This is from a recent survey and is a channel4 article.
Carers are ignoring their own health worries, storing up problems for themselves, the people they look after and the state, a survey has shown.
Six million people in the UK look after a sick, frail or disabled relative, partner or friend. Their unpaid work saves the state an estimated £87 billion according to a Leeds University study, so any long-term sickness could land the Government with an unexpected bill.
The new poll of almost 2,000 people, carried out to mark Carers Week which begins on Monday, found more than three-quarters (77%) believed their own health had suffered as a result of their responsibilities and almost a fifth (19%) ignored feeling ill "all the time".
More than two-thirds (67%) of those who responded said they had put off seeing a doctor on more than one occasion because they had so little time and struggled to leave the house for appointments.
Almost two-thirds (65%) said their own health problems had affected their ability to care and 96% said they were "very concerned" about who would take over their responsibilities as a carer if they fell ill.
The effect caring has on a person's life has been summed up in a spoof job advert released to mark Carers Week. The advert requests applicants with the stamina to work continual long hours, who can be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can deal with stress and isolation.
More than half (55%) of those who responded to the survey said they had been unable to talk to anyone about their health worries, a figure highlighting the isolation which carers often report feeling.
Seven out of 10 (71%) people surveyed said they had not had one week of holiday or free time in the past 12 months when they were free from the responsibility of caring.
More than half (60%) of those who were also in paid employment said they had used part of their annual leave to devote more time to their role as a carer and a fifth (20%) said they had used more than 10 days of their holiday allocation to care for a loved one.
Paul Matz, Carers Week manager, said he was "saddened" but not surprised by the survey results. "It is vital that health professionals on the ground recognise the needs of people who are caring for others and ensure they are receiving the help and attention they deserve," he said.
I worked it out a few months ago that by doing my caring role i am saving the government a minimum of £100,000 a year (this is with our benefits taken off) and for this i get an hourly wage of 30p for a 160 hr week.
What would happen if the carers in the country simply walked away from what they do ?

brief comment
There is a better balance with the friendlies announced so far, a few decent tests and the usual ridgeons league level fare.Well done them guys who arranged them.I see all the side that we wanted (apart from the primas) have resigned for next season. I am quietly confident of a decent show.
Euro 2008 is appealing to me more everytime i think about it. Let the quality football flow.

MH Why?
Mark Hughes, Why Why Why? It has got to be for the money, there is no other reason to join a club in utter torment.I see some the papers are saying he will have a bigger budget to work with. He's gonna bloody need it.32 years and won fuck all for the blue goons (unless you count getting back into the premiership!)Another funny story is that Norfolk's second side are looking to sign Andrew pensioner Cole,more"Y-I Men"in Norwich. How much ambition does this show?Relegation rings even louder from the cathedral bells(at least Martin will hear what's going on from his cell after his next fight)

So we lose a centre half,well discard would be a better word and lets face it.He would of done incredibly well to stay fit and cut the mustard in the BSN.Then acquire another centre half who is described as dogged yet limited!.I wonder why he was not offered another contract at Tamworth when they got relegated from the conference despite playing 38 times that season? Conspiracy theory ? No just curious,actually it looks like i have found the reason as he trialled at a couple of conference clubs before his injury.The boy Weaver could do us a good job for us if he wants to.
David Bridgewater ? Well i guess we will see as any information on him is limited.
The new admission prices are about right for the league (£10 & £12 std prices) and not too punishing for the occasional fans.You have to say that the early bird season ticket was a bargain at only £7.38 per game to stand.Even the new season ticket prices are pretty good at £8.33 to stand and £9.76 to sit per game.
Dean Ashton,not good enough for England and neither is Defoe on last nights and the USA display.His inability to finish his easiest chances proves this.
Sven,Sven,Sven just why did you get sacked apart from the obvious that a crooked Thai man knows little about anything except dodgy deals,or does he? Sven showed an inability to change things around in his team just like he did for England. As soon as the premier league sussed out the way his side played they stopped winning,Simple.This is a failing that we had last year(we drew far too many games and got away with it just)and one that worries me greatly. KW showed a total inability in changing things on the pitch after other sides did, with Gloucester away more than illustrating my point.Lets hope he has learnt something from last season or we are going to be in for some rough rides and i don't just mean my dodgy driving on the way home.
