After 30 matches Aldershot had reached the unlikely position of 2nd in the League Two table, in the club’s first post-promotion season. We were five points clear of the playoff places and the team had just won nine of their last ten league fixtures. The results were beyond anything I’d expected, but if asked (not […]
When we last spoke of Aldershot’s… well, let’s face it, it was a brilliant start to the 21/22 season… the team had found itself in the automatic promotion spots. It was early days, and in truth I didn’t expect a team of Aldershot’s resources to stay there, but considering the primary objective was to survive […]
Continuing with the general theme of exploring the concept of morality, I’m going back to some old arguments and responding to them with new ideas. Specifically, I am addressing an argument frequently put forward over at Blogging Theology – namely that atheism is a bloodthirsty, immoral philosophy. The (mis)representation of atheism is that it’s a […]
Previously I’d guided Aldershot from a struggling place near the foot of the National League, to playoff glory and promotion to the professional realn of the Football League. This is where things would get real. League Two is not like even the pinnacle of semi-professional football. This is where clubs of various sizes mingle. This […]
Not for the first time, I’m finding myself drawn to discussing the morality of God, specifically God of the Bible, and in particular a number of Old Testament verses that lead me to question the morality of God. I’m also responding to David Tee of Theology Archaeology, who has written a response to an earlier […]
Greetings ‘kats! I may or may not turn this into a series of regular posts, but I’ve been inspired by a tweet to try something… If I Could… The premise is easy enough. What if I could do <insert idea here>? To begin, we’ll tackle the question posed by Ms Duane’s tweet… The trouble with […]
Greetings ‘kats. It’s that time again, when I regal you with recent tales of my epic exploits. Alright calm down, it’s not going to be remotely that interesting. The ‘exploits’ involve little more than the cycle of work, work, and more work, albeit with one or two curiosities… Work The situation has reached the point […]
Greetings ‘kats, welcome back to Meerkat Musings, I am your host Darth Timon, aka Ben, and I will be leading you through this possibly lengthy and certainly fascinating post, as we dissect the words and commentary of recent posts I’ve stumbled across elsewhere. We’ll be pondering whether or not there is truly unreasonable censorship at […]
Time for a change of pace. Up until now I’ve given a fairly blow-by-blow account of the season, and that’s ballooning this diary considerably. In the interests of not boring everyone to death, we’ll be addressing proceedings in a slightly sweeping fashion from now on. March began with the Aldershot board once again declaring they […]
We left our Aldershot boys on the back of eight wins after ten games in charge, and a decent climb up the National League table. It was fair to say I’d enjoyed quite a good honeymoon period, so to speak, but would this form be sustainable? My 11th game in charge would be a home […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
