Leicester City
Leicester have sacked Craig Shakespeare (allegedly the man behind the sacking of Claudio Ranieri).

Right who put an instagram filter on the sky?
Quite weird light this afternoon as dust from fires in the Iberia peninsula carried over by Storm Ophelia made the light go weird all over the UK.

The Sub-Aquatic Steampunk Weekend Portsmouth.
Long trip to Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago.
Actually it wasn't too bad: a stupidly early start and had to walk between Charing Cross & Waterloo but an uneventful journey otherwise. Got there a tad late and then onto the Gosport Ferry. On the other side it started to rain. Heavily.
We got there easily enough and had a good wander round & listened to music from Victor & the Bully, Captain of the Lost Waves & Mr B (also Alice's Night Circus was on while we were chatting to Kerry & Ash).
Lou went on a sub (the Alliance) and I entered the nerf shooting challenge: got 120 points & was 3rd ended the day in 5th so happy enough.
We also went on a really old sub & chatted to a bloke who makes & pilots 18m dreadnauts that fire at each other.
We also discovered a superb beer - Post Impact Porter - from a local place, the Staggeringly Good Brewery.
Back to Portsmouth and taxi to airbnb. Bloke we'd rented off was in hospital so his mate let us in. Clean & comfy room.
Went out looking for food. Couldn't find greek place but did end up on the pebble beach. Think Lou re-setting my internal sat-nav broke it.
Finally found somewhere to eat which was a bit like the Brewhouse.
Back to room with brandy for sleep.
Up & out next morning and out for breakfast at Shenanigans Irish bar: doorstep bacon butty for Lou & boxty & sos for me. Really good vallue and the fried breakfast's were HUGE. We also spotted the greek place we'd been looking for. We were really close - just round the corner in fact!
It was nice & sunny day so we walked to the ferryport - the walk only took half an hour. My internal sat-nav had reset overnight and we got to the vicinity easily but every sign was trying to point away from where we wanted to go. Got to the ferry in the end.
Found Tinker & got medal & badge from Asylum & had a quick chat then bought a Dr geoff medal from Malika. Listened to some short stories, including 1 that made us LOL. [We bought the book it was in too].
After more music we went to 'Cooking with gin' by Malika - it was good! :¬)
By the mid afternoon we were getting cold so we headed back to the station. Got on 1 southern train that went to London via Brighton then got off & got onto a SWT to Waterloo. Walked back to Charing Cross & back to Kings Cross. Missed 1 train to Cambridge by seconds then I spotted a faster one. Some right little twat & his scooter with some dipshit bint made the journey a bit shit. The fucking tosser9s) were even in the queue behind us for a taxi.

Click & collect my arse
What a fucking waste of an hour of my life!
Bought a military back pack from eBay to take to Portsmouth at the weekend & thought I'd get it delivered to the new Argos on the Eddington estate (often that way for nosh from Sainsbury's).
Saw from tracking data that it had been delivered.

Argos can’t find it (should say though that the staff were very apologetic about not being able to locate it).
eBay/PayPal did refund me but that's last time I use ‘deliver to Argos’ option!
Off to Mountain Warehouse this PM to get something else.
Update: got a 65 litre rucksack that normally sells for £80 for £36 as it was 1/2 price & then 20% off on production of a university card :¬)

Lost keys
After loading paper delivery into the cupboards Bruce somehow managed to lose the keys.
Given his propensity to just dump stuff down randomly wherever he happens to be it's a surprise that it hasn't happened before.
