Okay, so hopefully you are getting this. I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5, which went well. I mean everything looks okay doesn’t it? Any problems, please tell me and I shall stare intelligently at it all and then spend a couple of hours Googling the problem until someone far more knowledgeable than me posts an answer. There are, yes, a couple of issues with the theme around here but I will fix them… potentially tomorrow…

But this isn’t a post about Wordpress. Oh no.

My local local local football team, Kirkham & Wesham, won the second leg of the semi-final of the FA Vase meaning I get to use the immortal phrase ‘We’re going to Wembley!’.

I would like to see the entire town go down and support the club but I foresee a couple of issues.

• The town of Kirkham and Wesham has(according to Wikipedia 7127 people living in it, and Wesham has 3245 (holy crap, really? We have 10,372 people here?)
• Wembley has 90,000 seats. So it may be a little empty
• If half of us travel down by coach (well 5,000 anyway) - we will need about 100 coaches.
• See this - bullet points - never worked for me before - is 2.5 good or what?

Anyway, I am going. May 11th - down south! Breathing the sweet sweet London air baby!

But this post isn’t really about K&W’s excellent win either.

And it isn’t a post reminding people that British Summer Time is here again, which of course means that we are all about to be flooded out!

It’s about the fact that I forgot about it being Earth Hour today which, yes, I feel very very bad about, and to show how bad I feel about it I am ending this post here.

On a day when two football (yes, football) teams you may have heard of (Chelsea and Manchester United) were dumped out of the FA Cup (a competition you may have heard about) by two smaller teams (Barnsley and Portsmouth) and England lost against Scotland in more Six Nations Rugby action it doesn’t seem like a day when I would be smiling at sports news but there is a puffing of chests and a smile from ear to freakin’ ear right now because… big breath…

Kirkham & Wesham FC - my home town football club - won - 1-0. In a real competition. The FA Vase. Meaning, they are now in the (pride pride pride) Semi-Final. SEMI-FREAKIN’-FINAL!

Now, join me in raising a glass to them.

And now I return to doing the website which is causing me a ‘more than a little’ pain in my arse.
