Today I learned that I descend from a family where my great great great great great grandad was married to a woman 25 years his junior. Personally I feel like I can never achieve better than that and I don’t know how to feel.
Can't remember if I have posted this before, apologies if I have. Was trawling through Youtube and came across an old episode of 'The Comedians'. One of the turns was Charlie Williams. Charlie was an ex pro footballer, played for Doncaster Rovers. Towards the end of his career he was player/manager of Denaby United in the Yorkshire League. I played against him once. He was a centre-half and I happened to be playing centre-forward. He was as hard as nails. Even though I had several inches height advantage, I didn't get much change out of him for the 90 minutes.
I remember reading an interview he had with Michael Parkinson in the Sunday Times. He said that Doncaster were playing Millwall away and he clogged the Millwall centre-forward who had to have the trainer on for treatment. Charlie said that some Millwall supporters came over the barrier so he walked to the side of the pitch where a policeman was stood. He said that the policeman said 'we're going to let them get you'.
I just had a 4.5 hour interview. The first 4 hours went ok. I don't care if they liked me or not as I was myself, and if they don't like that then I shouldn't work there and if they did, then they know well what they're getting. The last 1/2 hour interview rolled into a 1 hour one as we were getting along like a house on fire. Then he asked me a question that I am fully conversant in and I drew a complete blank - like total mind fart. Anyway here I am back about to start work on the exact topic he mentioned and made me look like a dim bulb. If I'd have got out of there 1/2 hour earlier...
Still not in the top 5 things I had to worry about this week and meh, it happens. Who in the world gives 4 hour interviews anyway?!?
