County, Rangers and all that jazz...

Well, twas a busy weekend for Mini, cramming in the Rangers end of season awards on the Friday night, County on the Saturday afternoon, family meal ojn the Saturday evening, cinema on the Sunday lunch time and the Community Shield on Sunday afternoon.

Awards were fun as usual. A run down of the awards is on the Rangers blog. I was happy to pick up the Golden Boot again,a nd joint goal of the season. These awards came after an atrocious dstart to the new season. A heavy defeat, aslo reported on the Rangers blog.

The highlight of the evening was Piggy getting beaten at pool by a woman. Cheering and jeering every shot, even some of the locals came to watch to see what all the commotion was! Hilarious!

Russ picked up the coveted Anton Lowe Memorial Award with special features. Details and pictures are on his blog.

County on Saturday was well anticipated. Start of a new era and campaign with the fans as new owners. Was old manager and probably most hated man at County CArlton Palmer who returned with Mansfield. A 2-2 draw was about the right result. MAtch report on County's web site and discussion on the message board.

A meal for our Aunty's 40th birthday at the Village Hotel in Hyde in the evening was very pleasant. Stuffed myslef with the beloved rack of ribs! Nice and messy, how I like it! Good night out!

A graet thing on Sunday, England levelled it in the Ashes1 Took it tright to the wie as England seem to do in every sport! 3 runs from defeat but we managed to do it. Flintoff the hero, outstanding with bat and ball. The new Botham some say! Reports on BBC Sport.

Went to the cinema and saw Stealth. Decent enough. Blowing stuff up and shooting and fast things. Glaring plot holes but a decent romp. But they really need some new Orange adverts. Darth is getting repetative now!!

Community Shield - slightly dull. Chelsea probably gonna romp home as they beat on of the best clubs in England playing quite poorly.

And finally, a long run, about .5 miles today to test myself in the heat and quite alright. Met Big Rick at 5 ways doing a trip to the pub for some energy bars...sorry, cigarettes! Now thats commitment to the Rangers health plan!!


Thats all for now. Off to the pub for a wet one, hopefully to sit outsde in the sunshine!!!
