My father, Victor James Delahunty died on Thursday 4th December 2003 at 7:30 am.

My mother wants a version of Danny Boy to be played at his funeral next week as he used to sing it all the time. So I've just downloaded a few and cried my eyes out!

I found a few versions on Kazaa, and here's another by The Three Irish Tenors as a free download.

My father is dying. He has pneumonia and is being kept in Ealing Hospital. The doctors say they that although are treating him he isn't responding.

He is occasionally awake, but can't comunicate - for one thing there's an oxygen mask in the way - but he sometimes smiles at us.

Tell your father you love him now.

Another great result from Fulham Football Club: "Arsenal 0-0 Fulham ". But even I (with my black-and-white eye) admit that we knicked the point. They had something like 24 shots to our handful! Here's a good report from ESPN and the game stats look scarey! click the link to the gamecast.

Blimey. We're fourth!

There's a programme on BBC4 now called Fascism and Football, there's mention of the greatest footballer of his generation Matthias Sindelar 'The Paper Man' , who was (probably) killed by the Nazis.

Went over with Lesley and my beautiful daughter Maisy to Richards for his Jamie Oliver Five Hour Lamb. Got nicely drunk, then went home and watched the channel4.com - one hundred greatest singles Have to admit more than a tear in my eye at a couple, especially Nothing Compares 2 U, the Prince song sung beautifully by the gorgeous Sinead O'Connor and Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum which was #1 on my birthday, 6th July 1967. Okay I'm pissed.
