BAIBS Tuesday 30/04/13

Two things occurred to me as I wrote the date up there. One: What the pigging hell am I gonna talk about?and two: Who nicked April? I lost 4 days at the start of the month in the biggest show and don't feel I ever really got them back. I've always liked April and I'd really like some more of it.

Another late and short blog. The excesses of a promotion weekend have finally caught up and with work tonight a nap was in order. It turned into a full blown snoring session so I better get a move on.

The final throes of the promotion weekend at The Keepmoat last night as Rovers received the League One Trophy. I'm meant to stick the sponsors name in there but they get enough from me every year so they can get bent. When we do the the match day music we have a script we pretty much stick to. Last night for the celebrations it was all pretty much last minute but as Shaun Lockwood pointed out to me he'd had to plan for  three different possible outcomes from Saturday, and us being champions was probably the least likely. Shaun and the commercial staff at Rovers do an amazing job, largely unappreciated, and often blamed for anything that goes wrong including, it has been known, Rovers losing. So as enjoyable as last night was I've heard Chelsea Dagger enough now to last me a lifetime. Still, me and Rob managed to sneak on the pitch after for a photo with the official board thingy!

Standard walk home today. The Peruvian jazz band and the Famous Villain selling kitchens. I was accosted in the Frenchgate though by someone wanting to sell a used £1.50 bus ticket for 80p. He struggled to comprehend how that just wasn't a bargain and decided instead that insults were maybe the way forward. His selling pitch left a lot to be desired.

Bit of a manic show today. Started two competitions, tickets for the Jamie McDonnell title fight and Sandall Park Fake Festival and got a message halfway through the show from the organiser of the Crooked Ways Festival in Pontefract asking if I wanted some giveaways for that too. All good fun.

Anyway, must dash. It's a live music while you work night.
