Diary - Thursday 28 October 2004

28 October 2004

As the new Doctor Who might say if Christopher Eccleston decides to play him with a rather bizarre speech impediment when he first introduces his new assistant to a less-than-tidy time machine: apologies for the tardiness. The worst injury crisis ever seen at Cod Almighty Towers means that this is a bit of a teatime special, brought to you by me, Miles Moss instead of your usual string of Diaries, Guest Diaries, and Special Guest Diaries. Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

When normal service is resumed, perhaps regular usual Diary can cast his keen editorial eye over the following interesting phrase: "The draw consists for forty ties drawn nationally" and tell us all what it means. The upshot of the news item on the official site is that it's FA Cup time on Saturday - time once again for us to bate our collective breath in anticipation of some of that 'glamour' this cup competiton tradiotionally brings... and then go "Oh. Right." when we get drawn away at Oldham or Rotherham or something dead boring like that.

Elsewhere, nothing's happening. It's a typical Thursday. Local lass Amy G Monkhouse is doing rather well in the Women's World Under 25s Bowls Championship, but that's not strictly about the Mariners; and while news that Bucky Jabosen is recovering from injury is about the Mariners, it's about the wrong ones. So there I'll leave it, or it'll be tomorrow already. Tra!
