So after the fire this  morning I visited Brentford v Rotherham United and Brentford were on Fire. Running out 4-2 winners. It was bloody cold & very wet.

Persons Reported

Received a call this morning about a fire/explosion at a house in Guildford. Unfortunately it turns out that a 70 year old man has been found deceased at the scene.

Good Win!!

Nothing in the diary for Saturday so ended up at Guildford City v Bedfont Sports. A good win for City, the first goal was from a saved penalty awarded for a foul where the Bedfont Player had no intention of playing the ball. The second goal was by captain Greg Haydon, who bundled in after a bit of pinball in the box. It wasn’t all one way traffic as the City keeper Kallum Lunn was voted man of the match.

Well that was different…

11/02/2017. Aldershot Town v Barrow AFC. Aldershot’s Matt McCLURE celebrates

The day had originally been planned to include a couple of GVs first, and then Egg Chasing at Walton followed by Football at Ashford Town. I get to  the Rugby early, sitting in the car waiting, when the day gets turned around. So I head for Aldershot v Barrow AFC instead.

Bloody cold this afternoon with a little snow, just to top it off.

SSD in 6th Gen iPod Classic

The hard disk in my iPod Classic had started to die, intermittent clicks & strange behaviour  and freezes each time it tried to read from a bad sector, so it seemed the right time to replace the disk with a Solid State Drive. So out went the “Corbyned” (excuse the language) 80GB spinning platter & in went a new 128GB SSD replacement.

Pleased to say that despite Apple’s best efforts to make it impossible to open the iPod without damaging the case, I eventually succeeded & after a couple of trial fits reassembled the iPod & reconnected it to iTunes and did a restore.

I am now the owner of a 128GB iPod Classic which, as I listen to it in the car will be slightly less vulnerable to all of the pot holes in Surrey’s roads.

The drive that I purchased, just in case anyone wants to try it themselves is the Zheino 128GB 1.8″ ZIF drive.

It’s been a little damp

Back in the News

From Paul Burgman. 19 May 2012. Shannon Matthews mother Karen Photographed today leaving her Bail Hostel.

Seeing as it is back in the news, I was sent to photograph Karen Matthews the woman that plotted to kidnap her own daughter to fleece a £50,000 reward for her recovery. I was sent on the 19th May 2012 to snatch a frame of her at her bail hostel.
