Today, among other things, I took part in the help for heroes coastal walk. I diddnt do the entire walk like everybody else because of my back.. I did do a good few miles though!
It couldnt have been a worse day for a long coastal walk.. It was cold, windy and bucketing down with rain. Despite this hundreds of people turned out to walk for Private Douglas Niall Halliday, 20, from Wallasey, Private Alex Isaac, 20, from Wirral. The soldiers died on duty in Afghanistan during a vehicle crash in June. Dougie Halliday the cousin and nephew of our close family friends.. The Adams Family. Both families, Friends, Work collegues all turned out to walk today for the fallen soldiers. My brother is a close friend of Josh`s (Dougies cousin) and they play rugby for the same team. Today the entire rugby team (coach and all) turned out to walk, One of the players had turned 18 yesterday so the team had been at his party which carried on until 7am this morning, The walk started at 9am sharp and after drinking over a litre of vodka (another issue entirely) my brother along with the rest of the team, was there to start (and finish) the walk no matter what. People young and old, fit and unfit, soldiers, ex soldiers, relatives, neighbours, friends walked together through the rain along the coast to raise money for the soldiers still in Afghanistan. This was quite beautiful to see...
After making a brieft but substantial appearance at the rugby club, I took my brother for a drink at the tap.. with a few other guys. Had a good laugh down there! Had to drive my brothers car there unfortunately because mine is going in for some work and mot tomorrow.. then i might get my life back!
Lastly... My joke for the day..
How do you hide a horse in a cheese?
Mascapone
