After five years in Seattle, rural England is a culture shock, to put it mildly. Share my wide-eyed re-awakening to all things British ... laugh and cry along!

Cup Fever!

For those of you who read “Funny Round Balls” and, hopefully, smiled, there’s good news. Cheltenham Town, our beloved ‘Robins’ , beat Oxford Utd. 2-1 in the FA Cup 3rd round replay tonight … so it’s onwards and upwards to the 4th round and a clash not so much of titans as whatever the opposite of ‘titan’ is. Whilst a match-up against one of the legends of soccer (eg. Man Utd. or Chelsea) would have conjured up images of giant-killing (as well as a mega-payday) the forthcoming tie against Chester City is very winnable!

So I’ll be there on 6th January calling the Chester City goalie some name or other, saying “You’re shit, aaaaaaah-haaaaaaaa” at all the goal kicks and calling a hot beef pie and a pint ‘lunch’!
