![]() But it does rather beggar the question - how many other people might have named you in a will and not told you! In the event - I mention it in case it ever happens to you - it is straightforward to download and complete a Deed of Renunciation form PA15 from the High Court (Family Division) and send a copy to the other Executors, effectively giving up your Executorship. OK, you don’t have to indeed, you don’t even have to claim Probate unless there are tax ramifications to the Estate, or certain financial institutions like National Savings demand to see Probate before releasing funds. I have no knowledge of the wife’s affairs, and as she and the other Executers were all Birmingham-based, I thought it best to bow out of the proceedings as rapidly as possible, especially once I learnt that they were not proposing to use a solicitor in the winding up of the Estate. We had no further contact with the wife, so all this came completely out of left field, as the saying goes! But he was suffering from Parkinson’s, then dementia, and passed away about six years ago. When we moved back to Brum in the 2000’s, we renewed our acquaintance on a casual basis, and we met him, his wife and their son on a couple of occasions. When we originally moved South-West back in the 1980’s, we did keep in touch with our old friend, and had him to stay over a couple of times, but like all relationships, it eventually devolved down to an annual Christmas card. I had absolutely no knowledge whatsoever that I’d been so appointed! What eventually transpired was that the wife of an old acquaintance Mrs O and I knew from the 1970’s had apparently died on New Year’s Day from cancer - and I was named as an Executor in her will! The people trying to contact me were the other Executors. ![]() One interesting (non-football) thing that has happened recently is that out of the blue, I received a phone call from my S in Birmingham, saying that a couple from my past were trying to contact me - however, I’d never heard of them! Hmmmm. The bird gets very worried about these things and fears he’ll be cancelled if he gets too stale, despite the fact I keep on telling him that (1) Strictly’s still going despite being well past its sell-by date and (2) if he wants to be less stale, he should try washing his fevvers more often.

The diet, shall we just say, continues to have its ups and downs …. Refreshments, declared to Mrs O, included a steak pie £2.50, a Chunky KitKat £1, and two cups of tea £1 each. I walked round the perimeter of the pitch twice to avoid freezing up. The crowd was pretty low, only 45, as it was absolutely perishing out there. An entertaining but pretty one-sided affair Blackfield & Langley were lucky not to have suffered a right drubbing but Shaftesbury’s inaccuracy in front of goal, especially during the first half, spared them a much heavier defeat. It looked like a classic case of mis-communication.Īfter the interval, Shaftesbury made it safe with the Watersiders managing a consolation goal late in the game. They dominated the first half, but led only thanks to a 10th minute own goal, a central defender gliding a header past his out-rushing keeper. ![]() Superb approach work, spearheaded by Ashley Pope and Tyler Forbes on the right wing - but unfortunately Shaftesbury lacked anyone to put the numerous chances away. So far this season I’ve seen the Rockies lose at home to the bottom two clubs - Alresford and Pagham - but today they didn’t make any mistakes against another side in the relegation mix, and should really have won by a minimum five or six goals. He's still with the club, but wasn't named for this game. They’re probably best known this season for having their goalkeeper Connor Maseko sent off for attending to a call of nature behind a bush during an FA Cup tie with Shepton Mallet, which was, amongst other things, a violation of FA Rules. Last Saturday was a case in point - I didn’t fancy yet another Siberian afternoon at some remote rural recreation ground, so stuck with Plan A on the Master Spreadsheet and made my eighth visit of the season to Coppice Street to see Shaftesbury play Blackfield & Langley, a team I’ve not caught up with before.īlackfield & Langley hail from Fawley way, alongside Southampton Water. I’m conscious this season that I’ve been re-visiting a number of grounds on a regular basis, so when I do, I think I’ll just post an abbreviated match report so as not to be repetitive and therefore boring!
