Some congratulations | Arseblog … an Arsenal blog

Morning all.

For those who’ll forgive me immediately, that is going to be a bit fast and lightweight on Arsenal information (what information?). There’s solely so many ‘Hey, I ponder when Martin Zubimendi shall be introduced?’ blogs one individual can write. I’ve talked about during the last couple of days that I’ve been in London, and past spending time on this unimaginable metropolis, there was a really particular purpose for the journey.

So, let me take this chance to ship my congratulations to my pal and Arseblog colleague Andrew Allen after he acquired 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 an exquisite 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 method will perceive that yesterday was an impeccably fashionable day, and it was a privilege to attend the celebration together with his household (new and outdated), and plenty of buddies. There was meals, there was wine (various wine *boilk*), and a few genuinely sensible speeches – hats off to the groom himself and his finest man (thanks Nick for the Arseblog plug!).

Was 30C the best climate for a go well with and tie? In all probability not, however that’s probably the most first world drawback I can presumably consider. It was an exquisite day, in beautiful environment, spent with nice folks, and I’m simply so completely happy for Andrew. Except for my spouse, he’s most likely the individual I converse to most frequently – even when it’s simply to examine in that there’s nothing occurring that must be lined for Arseblog Information. We contact base day by day, roughly. We’ve been working collectively for 14 years, and it’s such a tremendous factor to seek out somebody who simply understands stuff so nicely.

What we must always cowl, what we shouldn’t, tips on how 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 with no consideration one bit. Generally I’ll get up and see a random story about some stuff I didn’t even know was taking place, with a publishing time of midnight. I don’t ask this of him, it’s simply what he does.

Which is why I need to state for the document that when he instructed me he was bringing his laptop computer on honeymoon I instructed him outright he was forbidden to do any work. He’ll greater than doubtless ignore that, however to the beautiful individual at his facet this morning, I instructed him to not … truthfully!

Anyway, in a digital method, elevate a glass or a cup of espresso or no matter it’s a must to 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!
