A Few Things

Hello all. It's great to be back and I'd like to thank Frosty for his usual excellent work in keeping ToonGoals ticking over nicely. Thanks.
Anyhoo being away from my PC due to the recent back surgery I have a built up a few links I'd like to share with you.

GooogIe Search. A funny “Did you mean” Google search generator. For example check this GooogIe Search. Thanks Russ Barker who runs the excellent footballchants.org - The Definitive Guide To Football Chants. Some NSFW language there, obviously. I contributed one of my own involving Sundlind fans and the cliffs of Dover. Ask your Dad. :)

Anyone here remember Andy Hunt?
He was forced to quit football in 2000 due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Andy now owns and manages the Belize Jungle Dome and an adventure travel company in Belize, Central America with his wife, Ex-MTV presenter Simone Angel (Simones Belize Blog). He also writes the Belize Jungle Dome Blog and his own personal blog Escribbler which contains some good reading about his time here in the Toon.

Welcome to the Newcastle Fan Video Podcast Official Site. Not updated much but there may be stuff there that you have not seen before.

Guess which game came top of a recent Observer poll to identify the greatest FA Cup game of all time? Read the thoughts of Supermac, Motty and a certain part-time footballer and joiner (amongst others) about the game which continues to haunt us all (courtesy of the BBC) 35 years after the event. Thanks to the excellent Black & White & Read All Over for that link.

A few other things: Football Heroes - A Photographic encyclopaedia of Toon Footballers, Toonarama, Say it ain't so Emre and nufcmismanagement.info/.

Finally for today here on Rapidshare is the legendary Geordie Medley sung by Harry Palmer. Enjoy. I know I do.

This will be my last post on Toongoals for a couple of weeks as I'm going into hospital soon for an operation on my spine due to the complications caused by my long-term illness. If all goes to plan I expect to be back home in a week or so but there are no guarantees with surgery on the spine. In the meantime I'm leaving you all in the trusted hands of Frosty and I think Toongoals is also due back shortly from working away.
