New Year new experiences :-0

New year, new start...I went to a football match, yes you did hear right, a football match! Well at least I can say I have been to one. I treated Nige to a ticket to see his beloved Man Utd and sort of got roped in myself. Oops forgot to say I was actually working, bringing a coach load of fans from Scarboro via Malton and York. Guess my pay for the day will just about cover the cost!! Was it worth it? Shhhhhhhh well......I can think of better things to waste my money on. It made me realise how much value a days racing is!!
The trip down was not so nice, horrible wet, foggy, lots of spray and seeing that it was new years day were the roads deserted??? Unfortunately no......surprised at how many morons were on the roads today. It started from Scarborough with being stuck behind a couple of 'Sunday drivers' tootling at about 40-45 mph followed by a line of people who were either not in a rush or too gutless to pass thus causing a long line of traffic on an otherwise quiet road. Most annoying when you are in a bus and cannot overtake. Ho hum nevermind. The weather was actually better over the Pennines and to the west.
Anyway, Man Utd duly won, so the bus drive back was cheerful enough! Not much else about today, had a quick look around the Imperial War Museum, quite an interesting exhibition about animals in war.
Oh, forgot to mention, had a nice recital of Aul Lang Syne with drums, piano, fiddle, guitar last night over the airwaves and ocean!!! Very professional, next year vocals eh??
