Newcastle United v Everton

NUFC v Everton 08/02/22

Form! Yes! Newcastle United displaying some form. And its fan-fucking-tastic. Not to an Everton, nor a Leeds fan; snigger-snigger.

We played Leeds last month, just before the FA Cup premiership break (especially for those who are not in said cup. Ahem. But the team had a ‘warm weather break’ that seems to’ve done wonders too) and we won. For the first time in an age granted, but an unexpected victory is next-level great.


What followed was an exceptionally busy mid-season / January transfer window. Busy and also fantastic. 5 newbies. Improved squad. Quality improvements throughout! Well done Newcastle. Approximately £92m spent (not including add-ons).

Anyway! A quick blog about our (#NUFC) much improved mindset across the board – owners down to the most disgruntled fan – due to rapidly improving team that all can see. Aye, despite still being in the quagmire in truth (at time of writing a measly unsafe 17th), the outlook is good and OPTIMISTIC.

So, the match. A thoroughly enjoyable by anyone’s standards (the toffees obviously not). Old school football. Start to finish action. Aggression! Shown by both teams (we are talking football on the pitch here by the way) that gave at times a near derby feeling! Excitement. I am of course a little bit biased, but try to keep fair appraisals where due.

The atmosphere was outstanding! 52,186 including a sold-out 3,000 travelling Toffees who where the loudest for 106 seconds. The short period of time they held the lead.

They lead via an unfortunate own goal – excellent goal-line clearance by Target that hit Lascelles head. 106 seconds later Lascelles scored a blasting header! 1-1.

The action continued. Fraser got a goal! 2-1

A foul by them not too far from their goal. Up-stepped Trippier to execute a perfect curler into the bottom right past mackem ‘keeper Pickford who’d received shit all night! 3-1



Sound levels off the scale. We even saw a 6-minute cameo of our new superstar Brazil international Bruno Guimaraes who even in that time showed his class to leave us drooling!

2-in-a-row as it stands. That will be phenomenal IF we beat Villa in a few days. We hope. Nothing is a given.

Renewed hope. That has been missing for 14 years. Ownership issues if don’t know. Just remember 7th October 2021. Newcastle United Football Club became the richest in the world.

I’m still excited. Relegation remains a risk. Fuck it. Optimism remains stronger!

Howay the lads!

F1 Aerodynamics in Schools

Being a STEM Ambassador, I keep check with what STEM enrichment activities are planned that I feel I could support with my experience. I saw an “ F1 Aerodynamics ” related request and it tickled my buds somewhat! So I vested my interest via the formal portal/method to/with STEM and this was responded to. What was the challenge? It is a global competition given as per: “ The Competition - What's It All About? You are a Formula One™ team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest Formula One Car of the Future, powered by compressed air cylinders. ” The first of the activities was in a middle school in Whitley Bay, to simply share my experience (having been an Aerodynamicist) with the Year 8 kids taking part in the F1 challenge. I enjoyed helping them with what they were doing at that part of their challenge.  BBC! Wow. I would have loved to have had that opportunity at that age. Unbelievable! Showing my age, a bit?! (my middle school had a

MS blog October 2023

  MS blog October 2023 25/9/23 This week of this, bad sleep, fatigue, affecting speech - #Dysphasia - and fatigue linked problems like forgetting to do certain things, eg. Download Toon ticket properly! Tired.                                                 04/10/23 (Wednesday) Again bad sleeps, bad #fatigue. Here's the thing. More notable 'cognitive overthinking' in that I am not on the money. Yet, was fine for the #MS #Zoom on Monday night. And starting to unintentionally upset Catherine, and therefore me too.   FB post:   #Tysabri At time of writing, I am pretty bloody next-level-tired. Or feeling fatigued, in the #MS world. Those who know that; know. Yes, I AM saying that #MS #Fatigue IS different to ‘just’ being tired. Who am I to say that? Someone who has lived with the twat (#MultipleSclerosis) for maybe 26 years now. Maybe more. I don’t know. So, #Tysabri. Well I started with this amazing #DMD (disease modifying drug) over 13 years ago, and it “made me a new man”

Ocrevus

  Ocrevus . Notes 1 The infusion was completed at 1pm, and I was asked to wait for 15 minutes after the cannula had been removed. I was told to take it easy for the rest of the day, that'd I'd be tired. Body not used to the new drug, nor my mind, given that I had been anxious about #Ocrevus day. Ok then, I'll accept a lazy day. Was planning a curry takeaway anyway! I am tired. A few nights of bad / poor sleep. Ocrevus. Notes 2 Second infusion (second half dose) done by 1ish. Then again asked to rest for the day. Yes, as per, I was tired. #Anxiety due to an earlier taxi booking (for 07:20), with the small alarm fear! And also a few wake-ups during the night. Usual, but! Prepared with laptop, phone (obviously), headphones, sarnie, bottle of water, and chargers in case. And a BBCi downloaded film. The same as my first unknown Ocrevus trip. Slower start than last infusion, but after the paracetamols and antihistamine, the weak steroid infusion did its thing for half an hour; wi
