So Close Yet So Very Very Far

And so Pompey have won the FA cup!
The entire city was a shade of blue all weekend as the team headed to Wembley to beat Cardiff 1-0.
Everyone packed into bars, clubs and houses, the common had a big screen showing the game to a packed castle feild and almost everyone in the city was tipsy by 4 oclock in the afternoon.
and where was i?
Working!
That's right, I was at work, just round the corner from the many bars that played the game. and I have to say that by the end of the day i was thoroughly hacked off. not because i was working, but because i wasn't part of something so big that it swept the whole city into ADHD!
For the first time in 70 years Portsmouth lifted the cup. McBride was on a balcony overlooking Southsea watching as hyper football fans filled the streets, My dad was ah a huge BBQ lapping up the pride, Even Steffi was watching the game. everyone i knew was having the time of their lives being full of pride and respect for the city in which they lived.
And I was working.
Still, onto better things, The July Production rehearsals have begun, and from what I've seen, they're going to be bloody great plays.
Producing is fun!
