Birthday funWell I celebrated my birthday over the weekend before last, and it was probably my best birthday ever. All the sporting results went my way, and those who know me well know I can get quite excited about sport. First off, I went to watch Coventry play and they finally won after many attempts (see previous post), also Wales kept their Grand Slam ambitions alive with a win over Ireland, Scotland beat England (fantastic!), and then Chelsea got knocked out of the FA cup against the mighty Barnsley. Even more fantastic!
When we got home in the evening, I saw my wonderful birthday cake that my wife made - it was a christmas cake (at my request!) iced-up like the welsh flag - very impressive (pictures will be forthcoming). So all in all, the best birthday ever!
(A post saying "woo we won the grand slam" will be forthcoming soon, don't worry...)

What? No Photos?Yes I know I haven't uploaded any more photos, despite saying I would, but this is because the internet connection at home hasn't been working since the wedding. Rest assured that when it gets fixed I will be uploading some photos.
In other news, it's my birthday this weekend, and to celebrate it I'm going to see Coventry lose. For those of you who don't know, my record with seeing Coventry play live looks something like this...
Arsenal at home... LOST (mid-late 90's)
Liverpool away... LOST (mid-late 90's)
2 or 3 other games I have wiped from my memory... LOST
QPR at home... LOST
Cardiff away... LOST
Crystal Palace at home... LOST (October 2005)
Southampton away.... DRAW (March 2006)
I celebrated that Southampton draw like the greatest victory :) Still, defeat is the standard I am used to and I would be a fool to expect or hope for anything better on Saturday...
