Big day today, after yesterday’s lame excuse.  My first ‘O’ Level exam.  French speaking (I know what we call the not writing part of a language exam, but you know, this is a family blog, and if I use the ‘o’ word, I’ll get swamped by unscrupulous spammers offering, well you know, that sort of service from their tacky websites…).  Done, finished.  Out of the way.  What a relief – the exam that is.

In unrelated footy news, West Ham stuffed 8 goals past Newcastle United at the Boleyn Ground.  I think that Newcastle had a goalkeeping crisis and one P. Beardsley went in goal for them.  Unlucky Pete.
