Well lets make a start...

Me and Charlotte

Well, this is me and my girlfriend Charlotte, on our recent hol to the Baltics. We had a great time, but it's always tough getting back into the swing of things at work when you get back. Also, difficult living away from each other, especially as we lived together for 3 years at Uni. But, she is starting a job in Oldham (just around the corner!) in September so hopefully we shall see more of one another.

Well, most of the people who read this, that being the BRFC chaps and that's about it, will already know her so here's for something new, and if I don't mind saying, it's quite exciting. Now, its not everyday you get to sit next to an England international footballer. But that is exactly what happened to me on the flight back from London to Manchester on our way home from Latvia.

Literally, as this photo was taken one of the greatest ever players in the Premier League was taking his seat directly in front of me. Can you guess who it was? No, well have a look at this photo and I'll be damned if it just doesn't leap out at you!!:)



What? You still don't know? Really? Well I thought it was obvious! That is the one and only Andrew Cole! Now don't you feel silly!! It's obvious now isn't it. OK, his head may blend into the seat and it may be at a wonky angle but I guarantee you it was him! I nearly asked him if he fancied a run out for the Ranger's but bearing in mind how playing in a team with Piggy can sap your enthusiasm for football I wouldn't have wished it on Mr Cole!!
