MM Links August 2011 Week 1

[JoolsTwo]

This is 'King Jim', your setter for August.

This is the first time I have attempted anything like this. Being normally very reserved it has taken my wife. Jools. a bit of coaxing to get me here. Like “Just do it”. Having been married for 41 years I have found the secret to a successful partnership is quite simply to do what you are told.

Getting onto a serious note my background is not very spectacular. I was born and brought up in Stratford in the East End of London where my great love was West Ham United, until Jools appeared on the scene of course. In the 60’s I followed the ‘Ammers avidly and was lucky to watch them in the era of my hero, Bobby Moore. What I loved about football in those days was that the players were ‘locals’ and sportsmanship was the first priority of the overwhelming majority of the players. Alas, the game deteriorated into what I consider today as a shambles and I lost my love of the game.
