Local bands join forces for Tsunami fundraiser gig!

I was pleased to see the above site linked to from the Local BBC site, as Peter Levy, talked about it on the news this evening and I thought it was quite good that local people where getting together to help tsunami victims! Many of Hull's top local bands, including major label signing The Paddingtons, are getting ready for a fundraising gig to help victims of the Asian Tsunami disaster.

This evening I will be making my way to the Gym, second day in a row something must be wrong! Today, I also attended the funeral of a local Hornsea businessman at St. Nicholas Church in Hornsea which was a pretty sad affair as I have known this man for a lot of years!

Gym!

This evening I made my way to the local gym in Hornsea!

Time Team!

Tonight I have stayed in and have mostly been working on the Scouting 2007 and Eurojam websites! I also watched the new series of Time Team on Channel 4, for a link please click the above title!

For this programme, Time Team visited the village of Nether Poppleton, near York. And relatively close to my home! The local residents wanted to know more about the place where they live. Mysterious earthworks cover a field around their church and the locals have bought the land to protect it from development. But what do these earthworks represent? It turned out to be the site of a monestary!

And there did turn out to be evidence of a Saxon church or monastic settlement predating the existing Norman church.

Hull City loose to Colchester United and are out of the FA Cup!

It was a bit of a interesting weekend for me and it was also a bitterly cold, windswept and showery afternoon at the KC Stadium. Unfortunately, the Tigers failed to deliver any warmth - either by result or performance. They simply failed to compete effectively with a well-organised, well motivated and well-supported Colchester United side.

City's FA Third Round Cup exit was disappointing - even allowing for their heavily depleted line-up through injury and suspension. From what I saw I think Peter Taylor should rethink the whole of the tigers backup squad as it is clear to me that if it wasn't for the likes of Ian Ashbee, Stuart Elliot and Nick Barmby the tigers would not be in the position they are at the top of league 1.

The only player on the pitch who deserved his place in the FA Cup squad was Boaz Myhill, as he made some good saves in the game, and the scoreline could maybe have been worse, but as they say that is football! However, I must say that this is the first bad result the tigers have had for a while and on a brighter note they are still at the top of league 1, which Peter Taylor thinks is more important than the FA Cup!

On another note it has been pretty windy lately as someone in the next street lost their chimney stack last night!

Gym!

Today, I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness!

Hornsea Scouts!

This evening I am going to help at my local Scout Group which is normally an enjoyable experience! Have helped at Scouts for seven years!

I always find it very interesting to find out what the Scouts I have worked with do in life after they have left Scouts and tonight should be good as it is the first time I have seen them all since the Christmas break!

My january updates finished on Eurojam and Scouting2007.org.uk

I think my Scouting 2007 and Eurojam updates are all finished and on the various development sites ready for upload!

Today, millions of people across the UK and Europe have observed a three-minute silence to remember the 150,000 killed by the Asian tsunami. The silence started in Britain at 1200 GMT, and was respected by all including children, which I think was a fitting tribute to all those who perished!

I also found out today that one man I have known for a long time and who has done a lot for Hornsea died just after New Year which added sadness to the New Year for me!

Last Visit to Hull Universities Scarborough Campus!

Today, I made my last visit for the foreseeable future to Hull Universities Scarborough Campus in order to return my library books, I will really miss the place until I visit it again in June fingers crossed for graduation, will just have to wait for two more months to see what my results hold, hope I have passed!

Hull City A.F.C. top League 1 by beating Stockport 3-1 at the end of christmas!

I was extremely pleased to see that Hull City have reached 1st place in League One for the first time this season after winning at league one struglers Stockport. Wilbraham was rewarded for his goal on Saturday with a starting place against his former team, and after just 10 minutes he scored, nice to see the rest of the team can fill in for Stuart Elliott and Nick Barmby! However, a lack of communication allowed Danny Adams to equalise 14 minutes later for Stockport.

Half time substitute Michael Keane had the chance to put City back in front when Leon Cort won a debatable penalty, but County 'keeper Neil Cutler made a good save. It didn't take much longer for City to restore the lead though as Jason Price scored a close-range header in the 61st minute, before Danny Allsopp wrapped up the win 4 minutes later courtesy of a mix-up in Stockports defence.

The three points sees City go top after Luton could only manage a draw at Peterborough. A few months ago I thought that Luton would win the league for sure, it shows how wrong you can be. And the New Year should be extremely interesting league wise! Plus in March I have a whole new season of Formula One to watch which should prove to be good!

Happy New Year!

I was pleased to complete this months updates to the Scouting 2007 and Eurojam sites, I hope!

However, I was more concerned to read in the Sunday Telegraph this morning that areas hit by the Asian tsunami could take up to 10 years to recover, the UN secretary, Koffi Annan general has warned.

Last night I went out in Hornsea to celebrate the New Year which was good and there was no ice! Hope all my readership had a good and prosperous New Year.

Tonight there is a new series of Time Team on the television which pleases me as I enjoy the programme very much with Tony Robinson and his team! I am also pleased to say that James has resumed Blogging again, so hopefully that will mean my Kinja digest will have slightly more entries in it, once again!

Hull City beat Huddersfield Town by 2 goals to 1!

Happy New Year to my readership, just a short post to wish you all a Happy New Year and to tell you that Hull City A.F.C. have won again, however a slight worry is that League Ones leading goal scorer Stuart Elliot is injured for around six weeks with a fractured cheak bone, so all the news in the New Year is not good! Will speak more soon.
