I recently became a grandfather for the first time, June 26th to be exact, so he is now just over 3 months old and I was blown away at how it felt and the impact it has had on both mine and mrs 2112's lives. I can't even remember feeling this way when my own two daughters were born. Probably...

A week apart and last Tuesday I was in Pompeii to see Wardruna in a hushed 2,000 year old Roman Amphitheatre. This Tuesday just gone I was up and over the hills having a last tango in Halifax watching the Smashing Pumpkins blow away the 245 year old Piece Hall with a blistering set and light...

I am currently sat on large open terrace overlooking Pompei, it's a beautiful warm night, almost 1pm with a bottle of Peroni and the Moonlight to keep me company, oh and Mrs 2112 of course. We have just spent 3 fantastic days here, having seen the ruins in April we have come back to see what I...

The M6 is closed for work and we're all off travelling through country lanes until god knows what hour. Does nobody in planning think for one night only we'll close the motorway at midnight and let 30,000 people get past and then start working. Trucks caught up in it and god knows what the cost...

I'm ageing, into my 52nd season of following City "LIVE" as Martin Tyler would say and 47 years a season ticket holder and I'm just about hanging in there with modern day football buy by Christ it's a struggle sometimes. So much I could write about the changing face of the game some for the good...

I've been away from here for a long time, although I still like to lurk and read what goes on but the pull of posting again is growing ever stronger - so here goes. 40 years ago today I can remember exactly where I was - Middlesbrough, the magistrates court to be exact. A train up to Darlington...

Arrived in Poznan today for a stag weekend and so far its been absolutely brilliant. Great vibe, beautiful women, everyone chilled out and the qeather is great. Game of football this afternoon and can't believe im 58 and holding my own where the drink is concerned. But everyone I meet asks...

There was a recent thread where I think the question was asked does it bother you the amount of stick we get in the media and it was split with people saying no fuck them and others saying yes it gives us an unfair and bad image. I think if we were all truthful with ourselves inside it hurts...

My 15yr old Nephew Matty is a big Oxford Utd fan, he's a season ticket holder and gets to a few away games every year and he's as loyal a ''U's'' as they come. This season they have a new owner Darryl Eales and he is trying to take the club forward. Last week they held a fans Q&A at the Kassam...

Can anybody recommend me a good carpenter or furniture maker to make a set of drawers/cabinet for a childs bedroom? Wasn't there a Bluemoon job thread on here at one point. Would be a really good way of passing on work to fellow Blues.

Very late in the day but I have a spare ticket for Kate Bush at the Hammersmith this coming friday night, it comes with a single hotel room next to the arena, the Novotel think its a 4star. Tickets for the concert were £150 alone so it's not cheap (sorry) and with the hotel room it was £332...

It's gonna be a heavy couple of days with people staying over and calling in then there's Monday booked off work and hopefully a lot of celebrating and replaying of the match so need to have plenty of fuel in the fridge to keep going. Various Ciders, German beers, Spirits and loads of different...

We're going on a cruise this Summer and two of the ports we call into I need some advice on please. Firstly Villefranche, is it worth just having a look around Nice on our own having never been there but I'm guessing there's plenty to see and it's a lovely place? Or is it worth spending the day...

Since we beat Everton all I've fucking heard is they'll be one more twist and it's always been directed in a conversation about one of City's remaining games. Well Stevie Gerrard Martin Tyler, Sky Sports, Talksport, MOTD, Alan Hansen, Mark Lawro, Alan 'Dumpling head' Brazil Neil 'Pellegrini's...

Well well well whats happening in the world with planes going missing, the Russians invading Crimea, waves detected on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan and the wonderful Kate Bush announces her first live dates in 36 years with 15 nights at the London Hammersmith Apollo (nice touch Kate) with...

I have some old VHS tapes of when my daughters were babies and growing up. I want to transfer them to DVD but want to do it myself and not take them in to somebody to else to do as I want to spend some time putting them in order of their growing up. Also got loads of old VHS tapes of City stuff...

All last week I got sick and tired of hearing how great Sunderland were when all I saw was the odd punt upfield, a long chase and a goal with their only real shot on target. Every other punt resulted in a miss or a poor cross or our defence mopping it up. They had a long shot that Pants parried...
