War Of The Worlds

Brighton Centre

16 December 2018

My 4th trip to see the “big” show (I don’t count the mini version in London) and it did not disappoint.

No weeak links this time like Marti Pellows terrible performance and apart from a small wardrobe malfunction with Carrie Hope Fletchers dress it appeared to go okay although the ghost levitation was missing but I read this had not worked on opening night so maybe it was dropped from the show.

Hopefully it will not be the last time I see the show.

Just seen my favourite comedian Dave Gorman at Portsmouth Guildhall.

Always difficult to describe a Dave Gorman show to anyone who hasn’t seen him as there are no jokes as such (apart from the best giraffe joke ever) more observations on life given as a PowerPoint presentation.

His unique style and for me the lack of political bias is what makes him the best comedian around.

Support act of Nick Doody was also very good.

Wedding !!

Daniel Wateridge

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!

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

Doctor Who – RIP

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.

Happy 2nd Birthday

Very few format changes from last time just a bit more content.

And in front, the legend himself, Joss Whedon

Buffy The Vampire Slayer – 20th Anniversay

20 years ago to day the greatest TV show of all time first aired.

I wasn’t into it from episode one as I thought the film was a bit so so, just remember catching the end of a few episodes as I think it was on before Star Trek. My opinion soon changed.
