[kj] [OT] 1905

[Antoni Adamiak]

... and yes, Pat, there in lies the significance (for me) of the baby 
naming. The founder of Chelsea Football Club was one Henry Augustus Mears 
... the current owner is Roman Abramovich ... fact, this little baby first 
starting kicking at the Hammersmith Apollo on 29th January 2005 (at a Henry 
Rollins spoken word gig) ... Roman was the name of my Australian based 
Polish uncle who I never got to meet before his death many years ago from 
cirrhosis of the liver ... he's definitely a Henry, and not an AUN-RE (as in 
Thierry) ... though my lifetime hatred of Arsenal is ironic considering that 
Cliff Bastin (from Exeter & Arsenal's all time highest goal scorer from the 
1930's until Ian Wright surpassed his total in the mid 1990's) is in my 
mum's family tree ... of course, it is only a matter of time before Mr Henry 
beats that total ... Dawn herself is a bit of an Arsenal fan but she did 
come to Chelsea vs Bayern Munich on her birthday - that was considerate of 
me !!! Regards, Antoni
