Glasgow Tigers 3rd game f the 2003 season.
Posted May 26, 2003
So it came to pass that on the Sunday of 25th of May, 2003, the Dundee Hurricanes travelled to Glasgow to face the Tigers. Many had predicted that Dundee would cruise through the game as they had beaten Edinburgh by 42-0 the week previous, while the Tigers had struggled to win the game against Edinburgh three weeks earlier.
Dundee were also the team to draw first blood, after the Tigers opening drive had stalled and they were forced to punt. Dundee connected on a looooong pass for a score to lead 6-0. HOwever, the Tigers never gave up, and at half time, they had evened the score at 12-12 after a TD run and a TD pass from the Tigers and a blocked punt recovered in the Tigers end zone by a Dundee player.
That was the final score of the day for Dundee, though, while the Tigers started moving the ball in the second half, scoring on a short TD run and successfully running the ball in on the following 2-point conversion.
After that, the Tigers never looked back, the defense shutting down the Dundee Offense, while the Tigers O moved the ball well in the last quarter and was about 6 inches away from another score, but the Dundee defense held firm.
On the following drive, the Hurricanes went pass-happy and moved the ball down to the Glasgow 15-yard line, however they ran out of time and the final score was Glasgow 20 Dundee 12.
That measn the Tigers now have a 2-1 record for the season.

Games 1 and 2 of the Glasgow Tigers...
Posted May 5, 2003
Well, here we go, then.
Games 1 and 2 of the Tigers' season are finished, and with mixed results.
Our first game was away against the Gateshead Senators, who played i the First division last year, so we knew it was going to be a hard game. The fact that we were right about that assumption didn't make the fact that we lost by 43-2 any easier. As usual on our away games, we didn't have the full squad travelling, which made life difficult for most of the players as we had to play both offense and defense and we rarely got off the field.
Our second game of the season was at home against Edinburgh's newly started team, the Wolves. Again, this was a tough game, and the Wolves will most likely have a good season, however on this occasion, the Tigers came out on top with a 14-6 win. Hopefully, that will be the first of many wins for the Glasgow Tigers this season.
I'll try to keep everyone posted with how things go.

Edited!
Posted Apr 17, 2003
Just got a mail telling me that I had a couple of posts edited. I think it's beacuse I had spelled out the whole word "s**t" in the posts, and the Mods hadn't gotten round to editing it before..
I think it's a bit unnecessary to get a mail about it if they intend to send one every time they edit something in one of your posts. Especially since it's in a conversation that hasn't been active for about 2 years. Ah well.. Such is life, I presume...

Why am I even surprised?
Posted Apr 12, 2003
Earlier this week I was happy. Now I'm not so happy. I'd probably describe myself as feeling somewhat disappointed and pi**ed off.
Then again, why am I even surprised?
Background: Last week I was told that I was getting a bonus from work 
, which was really good. And considering the bonus I got last year was about £190 I was pleasantly surprised to be informed that my bonus this year would be close to £490. That caused me to walk around this week, being generally happy about that fact.
This evening, though, I found something out that caused my mood to drop considerably. Most people at work didn't get a £490 bonus. They got a £1200 bonus! 
Then again. As I've said already, I shouldn't be surprised. The bonus is something that's recommended by the manager of the department (with the help of the Team Leader) and the sent off to the HR department for the manager there to approve. And since this all stems from the TL and the manager I really shouldn't be surprised, considering how they've sh*fted me in the past.

No alcohol for VRHG for six months.
Posted Mar 11, 2003
So, for the fourth time in about 18 months, my leg started getting red, swollen, itching and hurting.
Since it was the fourth time, I recognised it as being Cellulitis (an inflammation of the tissue just under the skin) and it has gone away previously with the help of antibiotics, so I headed up to the local hospital to get some pills and then go back home and pop pills for a week. The doctor, however, didn't agree that I should go home the same day, so I had to spend a couple of days in the hospital, being their pin-cushion for two days while they took blood tests and gave me an IV with the antibiotics.
After they released me from the hospital, they told me that I'm not only going to have to stay on the current dosage for 12 days, but I'd have to stay on a lowered dosage for another 6 months to try to erradicate whatever it is that causes these reoccurring infections.
And since Antibiotics doesn't go well with alcohol, I won't be able to drink alcohol for the duration of the medication, hence the title of the journal entry. 
Usually, this wouldn't be much of a problem, cause I don't drink that often anyways, but with the Scottish Easter meet-up looming around the corner as well as the football season, and its get-togethers, it could get a bit rough. But I'll manage.
I hope....
