I have a vague recollection from 1960s English Lit that Friday appeared in the follow up to Robinson Crusoe (Further Adventures or More Adventures, I think) but was killed in a battle.

I heard about a Harvard Univ professor on the radio this morning... going to listen to her podcast with Jordan Peterson later and have just bought her book, well two actually... A Proven Way to Think Yourself Younger and Healthier and her new book Thinking Our Way to Lasting Health... Dr Ellen Langer.. Just quickly, one of the things discussed was... they asked 100 non-exercising people to do 100 star jumps and to say when they got tired. Then 100 semi fit people to do 200 and then 100 fit people to do 300 and asked the same question. All of them said about 2/3rds of the way through. SO when you hit the wall doing the marathon its usually at about 18 miles... and I know for me when cycling its usually 2/3rd to 3/4 through when I feel it.. all in the head!!!
Thought I'd give This is the Best Trip I've Ever Been On yet another read recently, I know I've got it but cant find it anywhere, so I've ordered it from eBay, £2.76, a fool and his money ... The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

Have about a dozen 'From Boothferry to Wembley' left. These were returned to me quite recently by the publisher. The book was completetly sold out inside 3 months and should really have gone to a second print. They are not autographed. ps; there is a glaring mistake in 'The Last Trip', one that gave me sleepless nights. The blame lies with the publisher who claimed 'it came out that way on spellcheck'. The club refused to sell 'The Last Trip' in the club shop because I sided with a fan, and sponsor, who had been banned, or so they claimed.
I'm thinking about writing a book about a young man from Hull who sets off to London in 1853 at the age of 22 and invents the modern game of Football, that's both club and international football and the FA Cup. Fact or Fiction?
And is the first person ever to present the FA Cup too? Sounds a bit far fetched I see the calls for a statue have resurfaced on Look North this week. https://x.com/mattdeanbbc/status/1702405014302457992?s=46&t=DAxwWj15XaMBwCrrY9gKFQ
Don't hold your breath. We are still waiting for a blue plaque in recognition of Alan Hardaker OBE, the Hull born, and ex Hull City reserve who was the secretary of the Football League when England won the World Cup. Also the founder of the Football League Cup. He is also an author having written 'Can you kick with both feet'. Born and lived down the Boulevard. Well known Family business too.
Two glaring errors Spurs 1907, glaring idea indeed. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
How many other fans knew that Spurs were the first ever 'non league' team to beat Hull City ? Not me, for one. I always had it down as Hednesford in the FA Cup during the Dol*n days at Bootherry Park.
She's a friend of one of my friends from my own Spiders days, and replies to his Facebook posts. So I've been aware of them since they came out and thought I should read them. Have I ever actually read them? No.
As is often the case it's how the question is asked. For that match we were, in the truest sense, a non-league team. As a league team the first non-league team to knock us out of the FA Cup were Spurs.
