2009 - Latest posts

As the world waves it's goodbye to the year that was 2009, I thought I'd write a quick post on how the year went for me.

I got married and achieved a lot of other personal milestones this year.

I got to see Hawaii and an active volcano. Got to see Anfield and sit in the Kop. I got to see Francesco Totti play for Roma at the Olympico while taking my wife around a city I love.

The year has had a few downs, but many many ups and I can't wait for the new year to start. Happy New Year all! :)

Christmas 2008 was a good one. Not many presents changed hands but it was nice to enjoy a lazy day with my family. I received a couple of Blu-ray films, Wall-E and I Am Legend and caught up with a few Sky+'d programs as well as enjoying the various Christmas offerings on the BBC, Dave and Sky Sports!

Come Boxing Day and I was out and about trying to grab a bargain but because of the media's constant bleak outlook on the near future there isn't much to be had.

The only plus point from a pretty drab Boxing Day was Liverpool's victory over Bolton. Another two goals from Robbie Keane at the Anfield Road End and Albert Riera's inventive finish to get things gowing was a great, late, Christmas present for all the Reds around the world. Being top at Christmas was a wonderful feeling and one I haven't enjoyed for 12 years, but I hope it lasts until May because a 19th title would just be something special and would be yet another item that really marks 2009 as a stand out year in my life.
