Some congratulations

Morning all.

In case you’ll forgive me at the moment, that is going to be a bit fast and light-weight on Arsenal information (what information?). There’s solely so many ‘Hey, I’m wondering when Martin Zubimendi might be introduced?’ blogs one particular person can write. I’ve talked about during the last couple of days that I’ve been in London, and past spending time on this unbelievable metropolis, there was a really particular cause for the journey.

So, let me take this chance to ship my congratulations to my good friend and Arseblog colleague Andrew Allen after he bought married yesterday. I do know he’s a person who performs his many playing cards near his chest, in order to respect his privateness, I received’t go into any particulars, however suffice to say he’s a really fortunate man to have discovered a wonderful spouse, and I’d additionally say she is a fortunate girl to have Andrew on her arm.

These of you who know Andrew in even a passing approach will perceive that yesterday was an impeccably fashionable day, and it was a privilege to attend the celebration together with his household (new and previous), and plenty of pals. There was meals, there was wine (various wine *boilk*), and a few genuinely sensible speeches – hats off to the groom himself and his greatest man (thanks Nick for the Arseblog plug!).

Was 30C the perfect climate for a go well with and tie? Most likely not, however that’s essentially the most first world drawback I can probably consider. It was a wonderful day, in attractive environment, spent with nice individuals, and I’m simply so completely satisfied for Andrew. Apart from my spouse, he’s in all probability the particular person I converse to most frequently – even when it’s simply to examine in that there’s nothing occurring that must be coated for Arseblog Information. We contact base day by day, roughly. We’ve been working collectively for 14 years, and it’s such an incredible factor to search out somebody who simply understands stuff so nicely.

What we must always cowl, what we shouldn’t, the way to write one thing, how to not write one thing, distinctive transcription expertise, the lot. From day one he has made my life simpler and I don’t take that without any consideration one bit. Typically I’ll get up and see a random story about some stuff I didn’t even know was occurring, with a publishing time of midnight. I don’t ask this of him, it’s simply what he does.

Which is why I wish to state for the document that when he informed me he was bringing his laptop computer on honeymoon I informed him outright he was forbidden to do any work. He’ll greater than probably ignore that, however to the stunning particular person at his facet this morning, I informed him to not … truthfully!

Anyway, in a digital approach, increase a glass or a cup of espresso or no matter you must hand this morning, to the brand new couple. Benefit from the time away you two, and we’ll cowl the striker signing as and when it occurs!
