Feeling Happy
Hearing carl jenkins
so there I was, hanging around outside yet another shop in The Mall at Cribbs Causeway (Joan only needs a couple more for the full set) and this young lady comes up to me with a clipboard and says "Are you interested in football?" well, I pointed to the badge on my coat and replied "of course not, I'm a Sunderland supporter". (I've been wanting to do that gag for years). "Ah well" she says sympathetically, you may still like to see the Barclays Premiership Trophy that's on display near the food hall. When Joan finally emerged from the shop we were heading for a coffee anyway so I swallowed my pride, stood in the queue with all the mums and babies and put my pound in the charity box. (Actually I only had a £2 coin, but far from me to boast to be 'holier thn thou') and here we are, the closest a Sunderland supporter is likely to get to the cup for many years. I could go on about St Paul pressing on to win the prize (Philippians 3:13-14), but hey, do I ram the bible down your throat every time?
