The Countdown

This has been a long hard old slog. We returned from Japan at the end of January this year and have had to wait a full seven months before we would be released from the penury that is life in the UK.
But it is not to be long now until I return to onsen, shinkansen and sushi, the three gods of desire that ever torment my memory as I wait for a delayed train in the cold water of the London rain whilst the smell of kebabs drifts across North London.

Only five weeks to go and my feet will be on the soil of the rising sun once more.

Daimyo Tataroka Enkas

Daimyo Tataroka Enkas is the name of Lord Tatlock's famous football team in the renowned Boozehounds Fantasy Auction League. Before the commencement of the 2010-11 season the team was previously known as Lord Tatlock's Trotters but the noble Lord decided to recognise the long and ancient ties between Britain and Japan whilst celebrating their outstanding World Cup performance in South Africa by re-naming his team in a Japanese style.

Lord Tatlock lives at Tatlock Towers, Tufnell Park, England N7 and is very, very old.
