    ........ had a great day in Barnsley today - spoke to loads of people.

    Went and sat next to a women called Pat - who took a book out of her rucksack with 32,000 types of beers in it that she had drunk.
    Then a guy who has epileptic fits sat with us and he was telling us that he went blind with medication doctors prescribed.
    Then a guy walks in with a Barnsley shirt on and a white stick - so I waved him and his helper over to sit with us - and asked him how the hell can a blind man watch football.
    His name was Martin - very inspirational.
    All 5 of us sat round having a chat
    It’s great in town.
    Very friendly with some weird and wonderful people in it.

    Judging by your posts on here, I’d have thought you’d have known that already...

    Martin Wilson. He's a mate of mine.

    A blind man can't watch football, but neither can he break the habit that that he acquired when he once could see.
