I was mugged , attacked badly, etc etc etc and i was lucky to survive. But the reports in the media said i was in my 30's. Im 44 in 2 months. Woo hoo.

First of all, I hope you're OK?

[Sir Harvest Fields]

At a family wedding yesterday, my sweet, gorgeous, severely autistic 32 yr old niece walked into the resplendent hall set for cocktail hour food, saw all the tables decorated beautifully and her face lit up.  My heart jumped to see her reacting so joyously.

She shies away from all but her parents, but as the DJ was playing Summer Wind by Sinatra, she walked onto the dance floor and holding her phone as though a microphone, lip synched the words as she swayed to the song.  I looked at her dad and he was beaming.  I was in bits

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Thats beautiful mate.

Cracking, that's made me happy, too.

I start my new job a week today and I can not wait. I moved to the States at the end of January to marry my wife, and it's taken until two weeks ago for my right to work to come through the post. Been a horrendous wait of just sitting in the flat waiting. Now I can crack on and contribute. I also had to retake my driving test (as my UK license wasn't allowed to be switched over for an American licence); which I could not do until the right to work came through, so got that done Saturday and passed. Absolutely buzzing! Felt part of my life has been on pause and now I can resume and can not wait

When you hear a song from years ago and it takes you back to her for three minutes and six seconds

I'm sure she's had lads that have lasted longer since then

Arnold Layne has that effect on me, but only for two minutes and fifty seven seconds.

Mind you it was fifty years ago.

Summer dresses 

Totally with you on that one mate; they provide much-needed ventilation to the balls, and also come in such divine floral prints

I hope you remember to accessorise properly. And wax your back.

Went to the park with my friend in Zagreb.  She climbed a cherry tree and stripped as many branches she could reach.  Then we lay in a hammock for about three hours eating cherries as she drew in my doodle pad (no that's not a euphemism!).  All the while her dog raced around going mental at the crows.

Best cherries I ever tasted.  Arguably the best three hours of my entire life.

Reading this straight after the idyllic, innocent and slightly poetic post from Red Beret.

Sitting in a beer garden with your closest mates, literally ripping each other, your clothes, your past exploits, but knowing these lads are like brothers to you.

Love going to this beautiful creek every now and then, but my favorite part is my dogs reaction after simply saying "wanna go fishing?" (in dog voice mind you). They sprint across the entire house doing parkour off the couches for a minute, run out the door and throw themselves into my car.

Had a good laugh at that bit...

Out house hunting, which I normally hate. The missus has just gone with beer for breakfast!

Don't say I'm a bad influence on her.

Despite being a viewer since 2009, today marks one year of Andy Hunter on Rawk.

It's gone very fast and some quirky moments to say the least

Annual Review

Highlights

Being the 2016 bumper, of the annual Roy Hodgson Christmas Carol thread.
Being asked 'I thought you were dead?' and shown a video of me falling of a bridge.
Seeing the love for Rafa by Black and White Paul and Toon Mick et al, in the General Newcastle thread

Lowlights

Overly posting in the Word Association Game in February.

Reccomendations
Learn more about the clubs history beyond 2001. Shankly documentaries aside.

Overall Summary

Such a great community at Rawk towers, always here to help and have a laugh. Great to be back in the Champions League and look forward to pandemonium around 9.45pm on Tuesday and Wednesday on European nights

The priveledge of having a practice training session with Mané,Bob,Phil,Lallana & Hendo.
Fucking amazing experience.
During the session there was a tackle in midfield where the ball flew up into the air heading for the touchline..i sped towards it as it dropped out of the sky,controlled it & layed it off instantly to which Klopp clapped wildly laughing aloud.
Then a tackle out of nowhere..from Harry Kane,hang on a minute..what the fuck is he doing here?
The training session finished & i was getting fotos & autographs etc and then i fucking woke up.
Bastard dream.
Regardless I'm still on cloud9 right now.
