My Football Season (Part 2)

Chelsea 1 vs Brighton 1 - 29th December 2021

I was in the East Stand for this one and the atmosphere was very flat indeed with most fan expecting the 'home banker' that Chelsea needed to keep pace with Liverpool & Man City. I was impressed with the 3,000 travelling Brighton fans though, who were noisy throughout.

Things started well from Chelsea perspective, with Lukaku giving them the lead with a header from a corner in the 28th minute, but the performance looked laboured off the back of a tough game at Aston Villa a couple of days prior.

In the second half Brighton took control and went close on several occasions, before a 91st minute header from Danny Wellbeck gave them the point they thoroughly deserved. All in all, a disappointing evening.

Sutton Utd 2 vs Colchester 1 - 4th January 2022

Say what you want about the Papa John's Trophy, but the games are excellent for socially distancing - only 977 at this one. Gander Green Lane is a 'proper' little ground, with porta-cabin loos and a lovely old lady selling cups of tea; it really is what football is all about, even if the quality on the pitch left a little to be desired at times.

Colchester went behind early when a speculative long range shot hit the post and cannoned into the net off the back of on-loan keeper Jake Turner. The U's then started to play a little better, with Skuse & Weredu running the midfield, and found a deserved equaliser when Tom Eastman headed in from a corner.

Sutton took the lead again in the 55th minute though and despite a lot of huffing a puffing, and some squandered chances, Colchester couldn't force themselves level for a second time and take the game to penalties. With my completely feet frozen through, I was grateful for the short journey home to Wimbledon after the game, and have to applaud the 114 that travelled from Essex on a bitterly-cold Tuesday night so close to Christmas.

Manchester City 1 - 0 Chelsea - 15th January 2022

The 12.30 kick-off time meant a very early start for this one; heading up North for what was always going to be a tough game for Chelsea, but a must-win one if they were stay in the title-race. After a couple of sleepy scotch eggs and a cursory flick through Total Film magazine on the train, I was ready. This was my first time at The Etihad; the stadium is impressive, if a little soulless, but I like Manchester as a city, so always good to have the chance to go there.

The Blues defended well on the whole, with City monopolising the ball and pressing hard, as you'd expect at home. The only goal of the game in the 70th minute when Kevin De Bruyne curled in a fine 25-yard shot past the despairing reach of Kepa.

Was left thinking on the train home that, while the scoreline could have been worse, Chelsea also could have made much more of the ball when they had it, with Ziyech and Lukaku especially being poor, and Mount curiously relegated to just 10 minutes off the bench. Oh well, can concentrate on the cup now (as no one ever says).

Sutton Utd 3 vs Colchester 2 - 18th January 2022

Seemingly a glutton for punishment, I made the short trip to Sutton again for the league game, with Colchester in desperate need of points to keep themselves out of the relegation zone. The game got off to a great start with debutant Owura Edwards firing his first goal for the club after just 3 minutes. But Sutton soon equalised and took charge of the game.

Against the run of play though the U's were awarded a penalty when a Sutton defender handled on the line (only the referee will know why he didn't send him off!), which Freddie Sears confidently dispatched. Unfortunately, the way that The U's are defending currently, few were confident that they'd hold on to all three points, and Sutton duly equalised in the 64th minute.

The U's looked to be heading for a extremely valuable point, until they were sunk by a gutting 92nd minute winner. A great away turn out for this one on a cold Tuesday night, the fans deserve better (sigh).

Chelsea 2 - 0 Spurs - 23rd January 2022

Got a last-minute ticket in the Matthew Harding Lower for this one. After a swift couple in the Old Fields pub in Southfields, we jumped on the District Line and made it up the steps just in time for the teams to see the teams come out.

A good atmosphere, as you'd expect from a London derby. A tight first-half with not many chances. Harry Kane had a goal ruled out for a push on Thiago Silva, before Chelsea took control in the second half. A brilliant curler from Hakim Ziyech and a header from Silva giving The Blues the win over Spurs for the third time in a couple of weeks.

AFC Wimbledon 0 - 2 Ipswich Town - 25th January 2022

Got a work crew of people curious to check out the new stadium together for this one. After some pale ales and sausage & mash in The Wandle pub, we made the short (but cold) walk to the ground.

As Ipswich are local rivals with Colchester, this had a bit of extra spice for me, but the first half was one of few chances, with Ipswich having the lion's share of possession, but not creating too much. Wimbledon hit the post in a goal mouth scramble early in the second half, before two goals from Welsh Winger Wes Burns gave Ipswich the win.

The Tractor Boys brought an impressive 1,200 people, on a cold Tuesday night, and I'll begrudgingly say that they deserved the victory. I'm still yet to see The Wombles win at the new stadium, in five attempts, maybe I'll stay away :)

AFC Wimbledon 1 - 1 Sunderland - 12th February 2022

My wait to see Wimbledon wins continues after a heard fought draw against a decent Sunderland side going for promotion.

After a catch up with an old friend, and an excellent Wagu beef burger, at the nearby Pig & Whistle pub, we made the 25 minutes stroll to the station, in time for a couple of 'Crazy Gang' ales before kick-off.

The Wombles took the lead in the 20th minute, Luke McCormick confidently dispatching a penalty after Man City Loanee Callum Doyle was somewhat harshly adjudged to have handled in the area. But the lead didn't last long with Pritchard equalising for the Black Cats with a fine 25 yard free-kick.

Despite a lot huffing and puffing in the second half neither team could find a winner, and the Wombles, winless in 11 games, remain perilously close to the drop!

Liverpool 0 (p) - 0 Chelsea - 27th February 2022 - Carabao Cup Final

A trip to Wembley on a surprisingly warm February evening for this one. After a couple of Budweisers in the fan zone outside, we made our way into the stadium. After a mediocre steak and ale pie on the concourse (I feel there's potential to do so much better with the food there) we made our way to ours seats. To our surprise we found we were sitting in front of Paul Weller (I found myself using his flowing grey locks as a marker to find my way back to my seat throughout the afternoon).

After a slow start the game, the game sprung into life with chances for both sides. Mendy making a great double save, and Pulisic and Mount both missing decent chances for Chelsea. Liverpool thought they'd taken the lead through Joel Matip only for it to be overturned by VAR. Lukaku and Havertz also had goals disallowed for marginal offsides for Chelsea.

The game headed to penalties (annoyingly down the other end). An excellent standard of spot kicks meant it went down to the keepers, and after Kelleher scored his it fell to Kepa (who had come on for Mendy especially for penalties) to keep the Blues in it. Unfortunately he ballooned it high into the Liverpool fans behind the goal, handing Liverpool the trophy.

A very entertaining 0-0, that could have gone either way, meant I wasn't too despondent leaving the stadium. Probably the swiftest journey out of Wembley i've ever had too which also helped ease the pain somewhat.

Chelsea Women 1 - 3 Man City Women - 5th March 2022 - Continental Tyres Cup Final

The short trip to Plough Lane in Wimbledon for this one. A strange wail of feedback and white noise proceeded the National Anthems (the PA sounded extremely ropey thereafter) on what was an unnecessary cold March afternoon. Chelsea took the lead in the first half against the run of play after Sam Kerr mopped up a spilt ball by the City keeper. Manchester City took control in the second half though, with goals by Caroline Weir (2) and Ellen White landing them the trophy.

A good turn out of 8,004, and great to see so many kids and families experiencing the stadium for the first time. Highlight of the day for me was probably the post-match fish & chips from nearby Vintage after the game though.

Bristol Rover 1 - 0 Colchester United - 15th March 2022

After a stroll through Bristol, I had a pre-match IPA and vegan pizza (how hipster) at the Lefthanded Giant in the city centre, before catching a bus out to the Memorial Stadium.

The vibe outside the ground (a live band and stands selling beer & food), was enjoyable, but the stadium itself was pretty no thrills, with the main stand looking more like a cricket pravilion than a stand. The 200 or so U's fans (a good effort for a cold Tuesday night) were housed in an open terrace to the side of the goal.

After a pretty even first-half, with Noah Chilvers and Owura Edwards looking especially lively, Newcastle loanee Elliot Anderson won the game for Bristol Rovers with the only moment of real quality, curing a shot past Shamal George in goal. Colchester put in a valiant effort and had the chances to equalize, but alas it wasn't to be. With just nine games to go, they ended play just 8 points above the relegation zone.

After a tense race against time across Bristol to catch the last train back to London, I eventually got home very sleepy at 1.30am.

Colchester United 0 - 1 Forrest Green Rovers - 21st March 2022

A fantastic gesture by the club to put all the tickets down to a tenner and donate all the money to the Ukraine appeal for this one.

Sadly the U's faltered in front of a bumper crowd and the Sky cameras.

Top of the league Forrest Green took the lead in the 9th minute and had the majority of possession throughout, with the U's lacking the aggression and urgency to win it back. Shamal George made some smart stops to keep the score at one, and although Colchester had some decent spells, they never truly looked like equalizing.

Due to Covid (and living in London) this was my first time at the Jobserve Community Stadium in two and a half years, and it was reminder of what a pain in the ass it is to get to. The free program is a nice touch, but as an overall football experience, it is still sorely lacking.

Why Second-Hand Office Furniture is a Smart Choice

In the dynamic realm of business, where the aesthetics and functionality of office spaces carry immense significance, the choice of office furniture can be a pivotal decision. While there's often a natural inclination to opt for brand-new furnishings, savvy businesses are discovering the multitude of benefits associated with choosing second-hand office furniture.

Far from being a compromise, this choice is proving to be a strategic and resourceful approach for companies aiming to strike a balance between financial prudence, environmental responsibility, and creating a workspace that inspires productivity. Let's delve into why second-hand office furniture in the United Kingdom is emerging as a smart and compelling choice for businesses of all kinds.

Cost-Effective Solution

One of the most compelling reasons to consider second-hand office furniture is the cost savings it offers. Setting up or renovating an office can be an expensive endeavour, and allocating a significant portion of the budget to furniture may not always be feasible. Second-hand furniture provides a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality or functionality. In many cases, businesses can acquire high-quality, durable pieces at a fraction of the cost of new items.

Consider this: a sleek conference table, ergonomic chairs, or modular workstations that may have been used for a short period in another office can often be found in excellent condition. By opting for second-hand options, businesses can redirect their budget to other essential areas, such as technology upgrades, employee training, or marketing efforts.

Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly

The growing awareness of environmental issues has led to a shift in consumer behaviour, with more individuals and businesses actively seeking sustainable practices. Opting for second-hand furniture aligns with this trend by promoting recycling and reducing waste. When furniture is reused instead of discarded, it minimizes the demand for new production, thereby reducing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing and transportation.

By choosing these furniture, businesses contribute to the circular economy, extending the lifecycle of products and reducing the overall carbon footprint. This not only resonates with environmentally conscious employees but also enhances the company's reputation as a socially responsible and sustainable entity.

Quality and Durability

Contrary to common misconceptions, second-hand furniture in Essex doesn't necessarily equate to worn-out or inferior-quality items. Many businesses regularly update their furniture to stay on top of design trends or to accommodate changes in their office layout. As a result, a considerable amount of second-hand furniture is nearly indistinguishable from new items.

High-quality materials and craftsmanship can endure years of use, and purchasing second-hand often means acquiring furniture that has stood the test of time. Additionally, some well-known brands offer robust warranties on their products, ensuring that even second-hand items come with a level of assurance regarding their durability and performance.

Customization and Variety

Another notable advantage of choosing second-hand furniture, particularly from your trusted office furniture supplier, lies in the diverse range of styles and designs available. Unlike purchasing brand-new items, which may be confined to prevailing trends or specific catalogues, the second-hand market unfolds a vast array of options spanning various eras and aesthetics.

This rich variety empowers businesses to curate a distinctive and personalized office space that authentically mirrors their brand identity. Whether the preference leans towards vintage pieces for a touch of character or modern, modular furniture for a sleek and contemporary ambience, the second-hand market, particularly when sourced from a reliable office furniture supplier, provides the flexibility to seamlessly mix and match styles to align with the company's unique culture and preferences.

Conclusion

In conclusion, selecting second-hand office furniture emerges as a strategic choice for businesses seeking a harmonious balance between budget constraints, sustainability objectives, and top-tier workspace design. By championing the principles of reuse, businesses not only contribute to a more sustainable future but also craft an office space that seamlessly combines functionality, style, and productivity.

In the ever-evolving business landscape, the discerning choice becomes increasingly apparent – second-hand office furniture is an investment that yields dividends on multiple fronts. When on the lookout for unparalleled options in second-hand office furniture, look no further than Diamond Office Furniture Limited. As leaders in providing quality second-hand office furniture, we offer a curated selection that meets the highest standards of durability, style, and cost-effectiveness.

"Queen of the Iceni tribe during the Roman occupation of Britain. In either 60 or 61 AD Boudica united different tribes in a Celtic revolt against Roman rule. Leading an army of around 100,000 she succeeded in driving the Romans out of modern-day Colchester (then capital of Roman Britain), London and Verulamium (St Albans).

Her success led Roman emperor Nero to consider withdrawing from Britain entirely, until the Roman governor, Paullinus finally defeated her in a battle in the West Midlands. Shortly afterwards Boudicca died, probably either by suicide or through illness."

A DOUBLE WARNING TO EVERYONE IN THE TROLLS DREAMWORKS FANDOM.

⚠️⚠️Do not interact with they. For your safety block and make others aware.⚠️⚠️

TW: Grooming, approval, justification and defense for abuse (incest and pedophilia).

1 Stay away from jade-green-butterfly also known as HealerCharm and Jussy (Justine Louise Heverm. She is from Colchester, United Kingdom). She’s on Tumblr, DeviantArt, Skype, Furaffinity and Discord. In the last few years she has been active and gaining recognition in the Trolls Fandom as if what she did to so many minors never happened so I want to spread awareness on what being a pedo really looks like and if anyone (especially minors) is friend with her they will know what kind of horrible person she is.

She was already exposed before with proofs, a lot of screenshots and testimonies of minors and Discord Mods that we can't invalidate or deny it really happened. She groomed minors on Discord: she sent them porn drawings to the chat, wanted to play a “sexy” RolePlay with minors and with a character that represents a little toddler girl. Her tastes are very clear. She is a very manipulative person and always plays the innocent victim card who made a simple mistake, but she knows what she is doing because she spread a victim blaming discurse, gaslighting and ignores all the screenshots and testimonies against her, she says they are not evidence and they are taken out of context, she is no fool.

These are not "slips" (as she wants to make them out to be), she does it on purpose, that is her true nature: an abuser.

I see, it happens tho, but why Kaitlin practically dissapeared after being accused of grooming 14* years old kids in discord chats? (*It was 13).

Jussy: “It was THEIR FAULT. They were in wrong for doing NSFW too”.💀 By the way, I think I was told that this person is or was a caregiver.

2 KaitlinEXE (Maria Romina Auxiliadora Fernandez). She is from Cadiz, Spain. Is her friend, best friend, like a sister to Jussy. She also groomed minors and therefore deleted her entire existence from the internet in 2021.

Let's be honest, an adult or even a teenager is not interested in spending their leisure time with minors, no matter how much of a “babysitter” she is. If you like spending time with children as an adult, you become a teacher or nanny, and so on. Seeking to spend time alone with minors, giving them gifts, "friendship", flattery, adults "feeling" like children or liking children's things (drawing, watching cartoons, RP, toys) are all -together- characteristics of grooming.

Although she is a TEACHER over 35 years old, yet she is looking to spend time alone with minors. It seemed normal and right for her to accept the invitation to join a Discord group with its own NSFW section where she was the only adult there and they were all minors, as she gained the trust of those minors by being nice, giving them drawings, and "befriending" them. Wanted to RolePlay being a couple, kissing, dating on Valentine's Day and then she was planning to get married. Since they had a NSFW section I think you know where this is all going: to the "honeymoon". Interacting NSFW without her putting any kind of limits on them, she even encouraged them when they drew her porn drawings.

She is a fan of porn material that mimics the sexual exploitation of minors (mangas porn loli/shota), shipping a Gohan kid with and adult Piccolo (who is like his father), drew her own manga porn with her OC Kaitlin Classic with an Elecman Classic (who is his brother and they are both children), and was a big fan of a kindergarten little girls porn comic “Irina’s World” (El Mundo de Irina, Irina Isekai) all this while she was studying to be a kindergarten teacher because being with children has always been her dream.

People, don't be fooled. Be more critical of people. Just because they're “nice” doesn't mean you should overlook the nastier things they do because then you give them a free pass to continue being this way. Jussy and KaitlinEXE are old enough to know what they’re doing is wrong. For they the internet is some fantasy world to do whatever it feels like and It's not right. The people here are PEOPLE and are not here just for your entertainment and twisted fun.

"The original "Uncle Tom",

Rev. Josiah Henson and wife; Dresden ,Canada (c1907)

Josiah Henson (June 15, 1789 – May 5, 1883) was an author, abolitionist, and minister. Born into slavery in Charles County, Maryland, he escaped to Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1830, and founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn, near Dresden in Kent County. Henson's autobiography, The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself (1849), is widely believed to have inspired the character of the fugitive slave, George Harris, in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), who returned to Kentucky for his wife and escaped across the Ohio River, eventually to Canada. Following the success of Stowe's novel, Henson issued an expanded version of his memoir in 1858, Truth Stranger Than Fiction. Father Henson's Story of His Own Life (published Boston: John P. Jewett & Company, 1858). Interest in his life continued, and nearly two decades later, his life story was updated and published as Uncle Tom's Story of His Life: An Autobiography of the Rev. Josiah Henson (1876).

Josiah Henson was born on a farm near Port Tobacco in Charles County, Maryland. When he was a boy, his father was punished for standing up to a slave owner, receiving one hundred lashes and having his right ear nailed to the whipping-post, and then cut off. His father was later sold to someone in Alabama. Following his family's master's death, young Josiah was separated from his mother, brothers, and sisters.His mother pleaded with her new owner Isaac Riley, Riley agreed to buy back Henson so she could at least have her youngest child with her; on condition he would work in the fields. Riley would not regret his decision, for Henson rose in his owners' esteem, and was eventually entrusted as the supervisor of his master's farm, located in Montgomery County, Maryland (in what is now North Bethesda). In 1825, Mr. Riley fell onto economic hardship and was sued by a brother in law. Desperate, he begged Henson (with tears in his eyes) to promise to help him. Duty bound, Henson agreed. Mr. R then told him that he needed to take his 18 slaves to his brother in Kentucky by foot. They arrived in Daviess County Kentucky in the middle of April 1825 at the plantation of Mr. Amos Riley. In September 1828 Henson returned to Maryland in an attempt to buy his freedom from Issac Riley.

He tried to buy his freedom by giving his master $350 which he had saved up, and a note promising a further $100. Originally Henson only needed to pay the extra $100 by note, Mr. Riley however, added an extra zero to the paper and changed the fee to $1000. Cheated of his money, Henson returned to Kentucky and then escaped to Kent County, U.C., in 1830, after learning he might be sold again. There he founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn, Upper Canada. Henson crossed into Upper Canada via the Niagara River, with his wife Nancy and their four children. Upper Canada had become a refuge for slaves from the United States after 1793, when Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe passed "An Act to prevent further introduction of Slaves, and to limit the Term of Contracts for Servitude within this Province". The legislation did not immediately end slavery in the colony, but it did prevent the importation of slaves, meaning that any U.S. slave who set foot in what would eventually become Ontario, was free. By the time Henson arrived, others had already made Upper Canada home, including African Loyalists from the American Revolution, and refugees from the War of 1812.

Henson first worked farms near Fort Erie, then Waterloo, moving with friends to Colchester by 1834 to set up a African settlement on rented land. Through contacts and financial assistance there, he was able to purchase 200 acres (0.81 km2) in Dawn Township, in next-door Kent County, to realize his vision of a self-sufficient community. The Dawn Settlement eventually prospered, reaching a population of 500 at its height, and exporting black walnut lumber to the United States and Britain. Henson purchased an additional 200 acres (0.81 km2) next to the Settlement, where his family lived. Henson also became an active Methodist preacher, and spoke as an abolitionist on routes between Tennessee and Ontario. He also served in the Canadian army as a military officer, having led a African militia unit in the Rebellion of 1837. Though many residents of the Dawn Settlement returned to the United States after slavery was abolished there, Henson and his wife continued to live in Dawn for the rest of their lives. Henson died at the age of 93 in Dresden, on May 5, 1883.

For anyone who wanted an example of Colin's thoughts on Ed... This excerpt from a 2000 interview.

Ed: "Colchester United versus Oxford...........Have you ever been jealous of another member of the band.......(pauses deliberately).........................Colin?

(everybody laughs)

Colin: "Jealous of another member of the band? What? I mean......

Ed: "Have you ever been jealous?

Steve: "Do you have any specific examples?

(everyone laughs)

Ed: "Envy? (laughs)
