Fluxie is the worst manager ever. Dave has joined A division and is trying to change things for the better but we have to do it when Fluxie is at lunch or in the bog. As yet he hasn't noticed.
*
The Norman Knight's second ever game is an 8-2 defeat against Brightwell Red Lion. Best goal is right back Barry's beautifully placed shot, (into his own net.)
*
Drive to work but break down on Wally Bridge and hold up the morning traffic 'till some blokes push me off.
*
Go to a disco at Crowmarsh Village Hall and afterwards we help out a lad who has been beaten up by skinheads. We put him in a taxi then decide to share it if he's paying.
*
Mum loses her specs and accuses me and dad of hiding them. When she finds them she studies a map of the London Underground and says she can't find the Northern Line.
"Prehaps me and dad have hidden it." I retort.
*
Decide to try Cavershams night club but you have to be twenty one. The lads make me go first and when the bouncer asks what year I was born I freeze and tell him I forgot. So we go to Top Rank instead.
*
I have bought a K reg orange Austin 1300 for £150 which is a bargain.
*
I can't turn the ignition off of my new car even when the key is out so I have to disconnect the battery every time I leave the car.
*
It has cost me £81 to fix my car.
*
Annie at work is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and it's Thatcher's fault. She lowers interest rates so everyone decides to buy a house and get their mortgages and need their endowments to go with them so we are snowed under with work and Annie is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
*
My bloody car wont start and dad has to buy some switch which costs £12.
I take the lads out in my wheels. We go to Seven Stars at Boldens and the lads are very impressed when I overtake a tow truck though they are very amused that it is towing an Austin 1300.
*
Norman Knight suffers a third defeat in three games losing 4-2 to Habitat. We are disadvantaged by an afternoon kick off as the whole team have spent lunchtime in the pub. Micky S reckons four pints and two double rums sharpen his reflexes.
*
Drive to Southend to see nan and granddad. It takes me four hours but one of them is spent driving around London looking for the North Circular.
*
Go to the Cross Keys with mum and dad. There are a load of nuclear disarmers on their way to Aldermaston to hold hands with other nuclear disarmers. I agree with nuclear disarming but these people are twats.
*
Hammy is in charge of our football team and is making us do training on Sunday mornings. Still, should help get fit.
*I drive to the Knight for a quick bank holiday beer but there is an extension so I decide to leave the car and have a few more beers. After a few more beers I decide I am fully capable of driving so do. Perce is responsible and tries to stop me 'till he sees it's raining and is happy for a lift home.
*
Work is getting worse, Annie has to stay till 7.30 to clear her desk and Tony bhas been loaned to H division as they're in a worse mess. I drive in early and plan to stay late to clear things up. Fluxie sets a grand example by fucking off to Ascot races for the afternoon.
*
The Knight lose 8-2 to Brightwell Red Lion. Barry, our right back, admits to only having one eye.
*
Drive Bones to Reading station. We both agree we are pissed off with our jobs and Bones suggests I carry on driving to the coast and we get jobs as deck chair attendants.
But I don't.
