    Retirement n/g

    I voluntarily left an insanely busy job last month and the initial plan was to take the summer off before looking perhaps for some part-time work. I underestimated how ingrained the routine of work is, regardless of whether you enjoy it or not. Consequently, I've struggled to fill the time a...

    Cas on Bruce

    I don’t know whether Cochrane and Shearer pre match routine of various Gillingham pubs is myth or fact, but it’s a great story.

    Any chance the Gills could ask for the goals to be widened?

    Keith Peacock & Cascarino

    If I recall correctly he initially came on loan. Sir Keith was looking for a dynamic midfield player and looked no further than across the kitchen table. Played one full season, head and shoulders above everyone else in a team that got relegated. Happy to be corrected, I’m used to it in our house.

    Points prediction for top 7? Ever the optimist

    I admire the optimism, but the only thing consistent this season is the inconsistency. I’ll be happy if we are still battling for a play off place with a game or so to go.

    #IFELLINLOVE

    Late 70s for me - I want to say a 2-2 draw with Lincoln, but I've looked it up and can't see that match. I'm not not sure about fell in love, sometimes it feels like a life sentence with no prospect of parole. However, I wouldn't have it any other way.

    LUNCH

    Second day of voluntary unemployment - cooking up a pumpkin, sweet potato and harissa soup, which should hopefully last the rest of the week.

    Stan Bowles RIP

    I haven’t spoken to my brother in 6-7 years, so maybe.

    Stan Bowles RIP

    I was given a football kit for Christmas every year as a young kid in the early 70s. One year it was the hoops of QPR and I followed them for quite a few seasons before discovering the Gills. It coincided with the team that included Bowles, Francis, Givens, Thomas, with Phil Parkes in goal. The...

    Replica Shirts vs Authentic Shirts

    I've still got a couple mainly used for exercising these days. I can sometimes be seen running around the mean streets of SE16 in the 'Kool' away shirt. Slightly quicker if there's some Millwall fans around

    Brighton

    When the Gills were away, I used to go to see Maidstone, when they were playing Conference football in Dartford. I wasn't quite ready to let go of Sir Keith.
