The life and times of Mags Delaney
9 days to go …. 
After a grotty week … 
and a croaky voice am slowly starting to feel normal again …
been for pins 
so should be all chakra balanced and channels unblocked for the next few weeks …
Accupunture has changed my life – it really has …
Life at hh still 
but not long to go …
Cannot mention what is happening to my beloved rugby team … but they need alot of 
…
just a shortie for now ….
Ciao 
22 days to go ….
Greetings from the fridge …. its ever so ever so parky here at the mo – its hard to advise travellers from foreign climes what to pack in their cases … 
Sadly the cold isn’t killing off the bugs been a bit stretched at hh this week with staff off – and I’ve come home tonight shivery and cold …
but am thinking positive thoughts to keep the germs at bay …. 
Things at the JJB still not good 
– 1 win out of 5 ….
its been rumoured on the messageboard that THAT MAN 
will be O.B.E soon ….
(thats Out Before Easter …. 
) … and apparently there’s ‘no rift’ – 
– but the injury jinx continues with another of our ‘returning’ players crocked again – and the best signing so far Mr Feka out for 6 weeks with a torn calf muscle 
I am beginning to think the stadium is built on some ancient burial ground … 
There’s a rather good ad for Lynx for men on TV here at the mo featuring Ben Affleck – whom I’ve not really taken much notice of until now …. 
The fragrance is called Click. Ben goes round with a clicker counting the number of times someone flirts with him 
– which him being him is a fair number – til he meets the lift boy who wears the fragrance whose clicker is way up in the thousands …
well as part of the promo they are giving away ‘clickers’ (I did offer to get one for a certain someone – but he tells me he already has two …. 
)
Our local Sex God 
(aka Mrs Bits’ No1 Son …) has got one – so as a public service I am telling all you young ladies – watch out!!! 
G.E. Rothers is on the pull … 
and he’s threatening to take the 4 legged babe magnet with him!!!!! 
No Woman will be safe …. :tee hee:
(The 4 legged babe magnet will be out of action on Monday tho … has a meeting with 2 house bricks at the vets …. 
Wonder if Mrs B has considered same for No1 Son ???? 
)
Time for bed said Zebedee … 
31 days to go… 
We’ve been doing some redecorating 
around here and have added lots of new smilies to the blog, all thanks to the Fairy Godmother! 
36 days to go …
Well its been on the cards for a while (well in my head any way) but today very sadly
Kris Radlinski ,My GFB , My Rugby Hero for the last 11years – has hung up his boots – very prematurely – because he can’t shake off his knee injury which has blighted what turned out to be the last season of his career :(
Its gutting that a player who has been up there with the greats – and will always be remembered as a Wigan Legend – has to end his career in this way .
I have watched some very memorable games in the last ten years – memorable because Kris has played a major part in them – often saving the teams neck with his never say die last line of defence – if Kris was on the pitch then the defence was almost impenetrable… he supported his team mates play – those fab chip kicks Lammy used to do and you knew Kris would be there to pick up the ball and score …
The last gasp last minute win against Bradford when they’d been leading to nil at half time … still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when I watch the video as he takes the ball from Steve Renouf and that clock says 79 mins and 58 seconds and then he’s over the line …
His hat trick in his first ever premiership final …
and of course the 2002 Challenge Cup Final at Murrayfield – now immortalised as The Radlinski Final – where he got out of his hospital bed with an infected foot wore a specially made boot half a size too big and put in a Lance Todd Trophy winning performance and made all the stains players cry!!!!
Kris Radlinski has shown fantastic qualities as a role model both on and off the pitch – something sadly lacking in most sports.
He is a genuinely nice bloke – no airs or graces – a real Wigan Lad ! – but thoroughly lovely with it.
He’s always smiled when asked for photos (even when concussed!!) and laughs at the mention of my name when things are given to him to sign … 
And didn’t flinch when I launched myself at him to plant a smacker ;)
(couldn’t help myself … he was THERE! )
It won’t be the same without him …
THANK YOU KRIS FOR THE MEMORIES – AND GOOD LUCK WITH WHAT EVER YOU DO NEXT .
(There’s always a cuppa with your name on it if you are ever down Rugby way whilst I’m here!)
