and

Stefanie Clegg

Proud to say I now have a Daughter-in-law.

My son got married today at Kirby Hall in Corby which is a wonderful setting, an old building with beautiful grounds and luckily the weather was perfect.  A very enjoyable day all round and a reception which allowed me to spend some time with my family and even the ex-wife, well you can’t have everything.

I did drink a little in excess but as my hotel was just across the road it wasn’t a problem, I even managed to enter the door code successfully.

I wish my son and my new daughter-in-law all the best.

Welcome to the family Stef

Happy 3rd Birthday

No it’s not mine, but this site has now been online, in its current form, for three years!

2015 2016 2017 2018


A new title!

I stopped using “Only The Blue Side” and went with “The Blue Front”. To be honest not really happy with that either.

Pictures went from the Home page to replaced by icons

Also on that very first day I announced the arrival of Kyle Bennett and Kal Naismith to Portsmouth and a year later (2016) I had indicated that Kal Naismith had been a disappointment. A year makes a lot of difference and Naismith went on to be one of our best players during the League 2 Championship season. Three years on and now neither are at Portsmouth. Bennett left early in the season and Naismith decided to leave at the end.

The Blog also had the same name change and as can be seen at least a third change on the “On This Day” layout, one day I will finish that

Saoirse Una Ronan (born 12 April 1994) is an Irish and American actress. Her accolades include a Golden Globe Award, three Academy Award nominations, and four British Academy Film Award nominations. In 2016, she was featured in Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list and in Time’s “Next Generation Leaders” list.

Ronan made her acting debut with the Irish medical drama series The Clinic in 2003 and debuted in feature films with a part in the romantic comedy I Could Never Be Your Woman in 2007. Her breakthrough came with the part of a precocious teenager in Atonement (2007), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She followed this with the roles of a murdered girl seeking vengeance in The Lovely Bones (2009), a teenage assassin in Hanna (2011), a vampire in Byzantium (2012), and a chef in The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). Ronan received critical acclaim for playing a homesick Irish girl in 1950s New York in the romantic drama Brooklyn (2015) and the titular role of a high school senior in Greta Gerwig’s coming-of-age film Lady Bird (2017). She won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for the latter and earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress for both films.

In addition to acting on screen, Ronan has hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live. She first appeared on Broadway in a 2016 revival of The Crucible, playing the part of Abigail Williams.

Clare Grogan / Midge Ure

 

Guildhall, Portsmouth

09 November 2017

 

Finally seen my teenage fantasy in Clare Grogan, only about 30+ years late!

She was great fun, very chatty and also a good performance live

Next up was The Christians who were not really on my radar but were not actually that bad.

Headlining was Midge Ure who put in an amazing performance covering his Ultravox, Visage and Solo work and even some Top Of The Pops thrown in.

A great night all round

So the BBC have finally done it and thrown 50 years of tradition out of the window and cast a female Doctor.

Political correctness wins again.

I’m sure Jodie Whittaker is a fine actress but she is NOT the Doctor

The end of watching it for me.
