I thought it worth posting a link to this blog I wrote at the time of the FA cup game a couple of years ago. My son is still an unrepentant Chelsea supporter, deeply unsatisfied with with events post-Abramovic. His birthday is next week, so his present is a no-brainer. You guessed it - tickets...

There is something stirring down in TS3. Something beautiful. Something we will be able to tell our Granchildren about. . Read my blog, Dazed and Confused, for some reckless optimism. And don't blame me when we lose on Saturday. Dazed and Confused

I've posted before about my first novel, Zero Tolerance. It's now available free on an Amazon Kindle promotion until Saturday. It's a satire on UK education and has been very well received. It's funny, topical and hopeful and it might just take your mind off all the terrible news atm. If you...
