Oh I'm still here allright. And I've got all sorts of stories to regale you with as well, including:
- A double-header concerning my new-found enthusiasm for following Stockport County the length and breadth of the country (well OK, just the breadth, but very wide, very nearly into the North Sea in fact)
- A near-fatal faux-pas at Levenshulme Catholic Club, where I come close to being blackballed by M19 polite society after my badly-parked bike nearly sends a frail old lady flying through the air.
- An impassioned debate down at the park swings between me and a young scally Levenshulme dad on the subject of the managerial record of Kevin Keegan (I was firmly on the side of the bubble-permed ex-Newcastle supremo and fully prepared to settle matters with a brawl).
- What were meant to be some slim 'track notes' to accompany a compilation indiepop tape I was sending to a mate up North, which turned into a 3000-word story of my halcyon floppy-fringed youth, told to an eclecic soundtrack featuring Tracy Ullman and the Wedding Present in their pomp. This one will run and run, I am going to give you three singles at a time complete with pictures (but not with the actual music, you will have to imagine it and just hum along while reading..)
and last but not least...
- A shocking expose on how the global fish-and-chip cartel passes off cod and haddock as two separate entities, when really they are (pauses for dramatic effect) .... one and the same fish!
All this (or at least some of it) to follow- certainly next week! In the meantime thanks for keeping dropping by- if this is your first time here please feel free to avail yourselves of the 'Best of Crinklybee' section somewhere down there on the left (on some of the links you have to scroll right down an apparently blank page to get to the stories themselves due to a technical matter I don't pretend to understand, but they are worth it!) as well, of course, as the fine, and usually frequently-updated fare offered up on the thing there (no not there- there!) called 'some blogs I know'.
Right then, that's all for now- I'm off for a cup of tea and a listen to Radio 5's Sports Report, and the classified football results 'read, as ever, by James Alexander Gordon'. Be back soon though- really!
