Question What is making you happy today?

Noooow this is a story all about how
My life got flip-turned upside down
I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called E10

Iiiiin south west Orpington, born and raised
A sh*thole suburb where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all learning some Latin in my super selective school
When my old man, who was tryin' to do good
Took me to a Charlton game like a good father should
There was one little fight and my mum got scared
She said "you're going to a football club that much worse than there"

I begged and I pleaded with her day after day
But she packed me a halftime snack and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and handed me a season ticket
I put my Walkman on and thought 'but Orient can't even kick it'

Worst class, yo this is bad
Drinking bovril and watching them fail to pass
Is this what Peter Eustace got them playing like?
Hmmmm, this won't ever be alright.

But wait I hear they're professionals and all that
If that's the case, then why they playin' so crap?
I don't think so, I better join in the swears
I hope they're prepared for the prince of E10

Well the whistle blew and I tried to get out
There was a dude standing there with a shirt with my name on it
I ain't trying to support them yet I just got here
I sprang with the quickness of lightning, disappeared

I headed for the tube and when it came near
The license plate said Bank and there was lice on the interiors
If anything I thought I wouldn't go there again
But I couldn't forget it - now my home's in E10

I went to the Orient about 7 or 8
And I still going strong - about twenty years later!
I look at my daughter
And it's happenin' again
Cos she's gonna sit on her throne as the princess of E10

We out *drops mic*

Sitting here thinking that at this time 44 years ago that Billy Best was about to score the goal that was going to knock Aston Villa out of the FA Cup , and the foundations of Roots Hall were about to rock .

44 years ago, phew, I can remember that game so clearly. I just wish my memory of what I had for dinner yesterday was quite so vivid.
 
Not only did I do well in DODTS prediction league, but managed a second in the last TBAA beach fishing series, giving me enough points to win the beach league. Also only 3 points behind the overall leader (beach, evening, pier and boat) with 2 matches to go.
Pall I can say is don't vote just yet for Sports Personality of the Year.
 
Excellent weekend in Hinckley - started with my missus employing her first staff member; then hiring a decent motor for the trip up North (Mercedes A-Class, an excellent drive); then on Saturday watching AFC Hinckley beat their rivals Leicester Road 3-2 after being 2-0 down at half-time (after a sending off and a missed penalty). The rivalry between these two teams made this a decent contest. Then, a pint of chilli cider to top off the evening.
