Sadly I am unable to interact with them on a regular basis as obviously the forums on KopTalk are exclusively for Liverpool FC supporters. It’s refreshing to hear what other ‘sensible’ fans think about our club’s progress and I also like to comment about how their clubs are doing. I don’t have time to trawl other websites to create such conversations and if I did, you’d receive the usual response from idiots who just want to put rival clubs down.

Because of this I have opted to create a new community that will enable me to mix with my followers who support other clubs. It’s not a big project, it’ll just be a small community where I can take a break from Liverpool FC discussions to hang out with other supporters who I enjoy talking to. Liverpool fans will of course be welcome but I want to balance things out.

The new community will be called Rosie 47. (There’s nothing there yet so ignore anything you see at the moment). I will also be contributing there as a writer to try and stir things up a little. Membership to Rosie 47 is of course free and will be ‘strictly by invitation only’. Once a member you can of course bring your friends if you can vouch that they can bring something sensible to the debate.

Rosie 47 won’t take up any of my time from KopTalk. KopTalk is home, Rosie 47 will just be somewhere to drop in for a minute or two when my time allows, with people who want to discuss other footballing matters. If you’d like to contribute or help out with the site at all, don’t hesitate to contact me.

If you’re a fan of the award winning ITV comedy series Benidorm, then this book is an absolute must buy. It will have you in stitches.

Yours truly is featured in the The Benidorm Guide To A Happy Holiday following my appearance in Series 4 and providing I can get back to Spain (I’m currently in the UK as my mum is in hospital), I will be involved in Series 5.

Hopefully I won’t be running this time (!) and maybe my good lady @PinkTopazGirl will be an extra again. She was an extra in the last series and wasn’t involved with the cast unlike myself who was a ‘supporting artiste’ – not a piss artist – who enjoyed dinner on the top table with the director, writer and senior cast members… unlike her who was in a ‘holding area’ in another room with the extras <—- LOL I love baiting her!

Joking aside, she did get paid to sunbathe on the beach which makes her a genius in my eyes!

I’m not a fan of tennis if I’m honest… although he says this while it’s on in the background. Apparently Murray vs Lopez is an important match. Is it even called a match?

The reason I’ve got it on is for my good lady. Some of you may recall that I took her to the US Tennis Open in America last September… and boy, did I enjoy that!

I have a few videos from back then that detailed the trip on my old YouTube channel. This video for example will show my excitement at missing a Liverpool game to go to the US Men’s Final instead.

I’ll try and give Wimbledon another go but I can’t see me starting a Tennis Talk website soon.

Football is my life, although I must confess that I’m a big fan of the PDC (i.e. darts, as shown on Sky Sports, not the BDO darts that you see on the BBC – there’s a huge difference trust me!).

And I will of course be watching WBA heavyweight champion David Haye fight IBF and WBO title-holder Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday as I like to watch the big fights.

A bit of snooker is alright on a Sunday afternoon after a roast dinner and of course I love to attend the odd horse race meeting when in the UK.

One thing’s for sure, I’ve lost a lot of weight since this was recorded in 2010! Maybe it was all the running… I’d catch Mateo now, for sure ;)

Check out this video to discover why I appeared in ‘Benidorm’… it’s actually quite funny and it saves me having to type up a blog entry to explain all.

Appearing on TV wasn’t why I agreed to do this, I did it because I wanted to be involved. The ‘off camera’ stuff and experiences were of far more importance to me.

It was an experience I will never forget. I made new friends and best of all, I owned the fuck out of my haters once again. Watch the video for absolute proof that Dunk does know best ;)

I was expecting the trophy to be heavily guarded and in a glass cabinet but then I remembered that this was Spain and not England.

The wait was only about 15 minutes and I spent most of that plotting how to steal it as there was only a couple of guards and the back door was about 8 metres away from the cup. My quad bike and Jack Bauer bag would have been ideal for this job. See, you can take the Englishman out of England but you can’t take England out of the Englishman!

It was a really relaxed atmosphere. The sun was beaming down and the Spanish dads were here with their children. It was great for them to be able to have their photos taken with the cup and there was no pressure from the organisers about how long you took.

Anyway, I was there and back within the hour. It was well worth turning out for. It’s just a shame that my son Robert couldn’t have been here. He missed it by a week as the schools break up for Easter on Friday.
