It dealt with a wide range of subjects, including a book review that was very informative and influencial.
It introduced me to the pleasures of the Matt Rudd books about a guy called William Walker.
It’s like reading a male Bridget Jones.
Because I have demylenation disease, it takes me longer to read but the humour in them makes it worth it.

That’s also one of the reasons why I feel libraries must be protected and I’m proud to be a supporter of them, which includes my local library Tokyngton.
Go libraries!

So the Tevez move to Brazil’s Corinthians is off – or is it?
Either way, there’s no point in keeping on a player if they want to leave.
The asking price for this man maybe a factor – perhaps Manchester United were right in their refusal to pay the fee once demanded by Tevez’s reps two seasons ago as it’s clear Manchester City want a return on their investment on him.
I remember seeing Mr Tevez several months ago, training at Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge with his personal trainer a good four hours before their match.
His energy and goal scoring make him a fantastic player – no wonder City won’t let him leave at any price – if the rumours are correct it seems that Corinthians are going to bid for Carlos again, with a new and improved bid.
I truly hope all goes well for him, wherever he plays.

Also on this issue of wishing people well, Northampton, the runners up of the Heineken Cup, are going to need it when they face the Irish team Munster.
I admit I’m not much of a rugby fan but I’ve heard about this team – they are formidable.
Like the 1970’s female tennis player Billie Jean King, they take everything they see.
Don’t take my word for it, read their impressive track record for yourself by clicking here.

WHAT A GOOOOOOAAAAAAL!
The three-point strike by David Villa in the 83rd minute against Paraguay was a stunner.
It kept me and the punters on the edge of our seats.
I have to thank both teams for playing football with such excitement as well as commitment and determination.
They really displayed why football is so important – it really is food for the soul.

Sadly I can’t say the same for Brazil, who were my favourites to win.
When the chips were down, they behaved disgracefully against Holland.
Considering most of their players are from Suriname which, like Brazil, is also in South America with the same history as the Caribbean countries, then it’s not surprising they too have a natural affinity in how the game should be played.
By the time the match was over, I was glad the Samba Kings were going home.
It’s that type of playing which invites the hooligans into the sport of football, so lets hope we never see such deliberate stamping on fellow players again.
*******
I really hope that Diego Maradona keeps his job as manager for Argentina.
This troubled genius seems to have become a man since accepting national responsibility for their football team.
Many men would of made a deal with the devil to of had his talent and fame. The same goes for another misguided genius, George Best.
After abusing the excesses of fame with alcohol and drugs, it really is pleasing to see that he’s finally found his way in life.
*******
That’s why I also feel for soon-to-be former captain of Portugal, Christiano Ronaldo.
First of all, congratulations on him becoming a dad – I’m sure it will help him to be a stronger and better man.
Say what you like about this person but he’s had the strength to remain teetotal – his dad died a few years ago, due to complication attached to his alcoholism.
For Mr Ronaldo to have the will-power to say no to this popular product and to become a dad - with his mum and sisters actively involved - shows true strength of character.
Unfortunately he was caught on camera criticising the team manager’s strategy, led by former Manchester United deputy manager Carlos Queiroz.
He must have been unhappy at being the team’s lone striker, which also displays that staff must have confidence in their manager.
I really hope all goes well for both men. I know that sounds like a kop out but I don’t want to criticize either man – I have total respect for both of them.
*******
It’s a shame that Nicolas Anelka will never play for France again.
The French version of the Football Association have confirmed he will never be picked again after being sent home from the World Cup after his argument with their manager, Raymond Domenech.
*******
Congratulations to Serena Williams for wining the women’s single tournament at Wimbledon.
Most people who started their tennis careers around the same time as the Williams sisters have retired.
So well done on Serena, for hanging on in there and winning the same title again.
I also say congrats to Rafael Nadal for winning the men’s singles – he displayed true humility in getting the top prize.
Bye for now!
