Got BBC 1 with great quality - just hope it doesn't drop out.... First bottle of beer open ... German - keeping the English for later...

Well, before the match, otherwise you'll be up and down those stairs... Afterwards is another matter: my visit at the beginning of the season with various friends we lost count...

Have one of their jugs of ale for me then in Italy. 06.40 Wake up, have pee go back to sleep 07.40 Wake up, turn over, think that the more I sleep the sooner the match starts, go back to sleep 08.40 Finally get up after waking up. 08.40 --} usual stuff 09.00 load of washing on after footie training last night 09.30 log on, read a famous thread in Lounge 09.35 (Now) on second of 3 mugs of tea; beginning to function soon off to check contents of fridge - one bottle of Pedigree and one of Fullers 1845 to be put in there later - plenty of other stuff German and Italian stuff available 09.39 post this 09.40 start to clear the decks for action

I'll be watching an internet thread at home: if it's warm enough I'll wear my birthday suit. Probably get dressed if I go out afterwards though!

Bloomin 'eck FC. Can't you set up a macro so that every time you type in "teh" it puts in "the"? I thought _my_ typing was bad..;-)

Indeed. Until it actually fails I'm not even sure that businesses can write off the debt against tax.. Clapham??? Incidentally, where's Corp these days? He may be a WUM but he's definitely not _quite_ as stupid as PFC, hence his absence here.

I regret to say it, but I'm old enough to be able to tell you that it's Hiley.. or at least, if this wine is stronger than I reckoned - definitely NOT Le Saux...

I burst out in genuine laughter when I saw that.. creased myself more when I saw your post...

Only an hour ahead here so a fine time and, even better, my team has a rest day on Sunday and fortunately the manager hasn't organised a friendly so I can be suitably misbehaved on the beer front...

No women's game, and sod the FA who won't allow mixed teams according to application form. Actually, I thought that particular ban didn't apply to charity games and the like. My team often play training matches against guys: usually juniors or scratch teams though.

What about those of us with overseas addresses, post codes and phone numbers: any experiences? I don't fancy being a tester - I did enough speccing and test plans when I worked in IT.

Exactly what I was thinking...

Ta, but I won't bother. I'm feeling nice and relaxed, we won away in our championship this evening and I didn't have a bad game, I've had half a bottle of a nice Sicilian wine and I'm off to bed with a spare set of rechargeable batteries: why spoil it all? :-) Night....

I hope Turkish isn't replying to me as I can't read his posts. Incidentally "turca" mean one of those squat toilets - I always think of him as Mr Squat Toilet...

No problems, I assumed so, but I'd very much like to say the same words personally.. I wonder what the next poster said, busy little bee that he is. None of us know what the future will bring, but as I think I've mentioned elsewhere on here, I'm already thinking about tickets for the early games of next season when I'm over. I certainly won't be leaving it until the last moment to get them after the excellent attendance records of this season, particularly towards the end. But then I'm motivated and won't have a chance later in the season. Other people won't bother or won't do it in time, but might if it were easier. There's a lot of different dynamics going on in ticket sales and some people here have a very simplistic view of it.

You might want to say "Ma cazzo, sono dei tifosi deficienti e depressi sul forum Saints Web. Non hanno un spicchio d'ottimismo e sono sempre negativi". I won't translate coz Italian is such an easy language.

I think Icarus flew over their heads.. Incidentally, where on earth did that homoerotic picture come from? Shame somebody couldn't hack the original source and put in the amended picture...

Thanks for reminding me. I'll start taking the heart pills now.

It's just as well I always read this thread at home as if I read it in an office I'd be getting a reputation for outbursts of manic cackling at regular intervals.

Or on the other side of Mont Blanc there are some camp sites in Val Veny at 1600m that I've stayed at during the Celtica Festival: a more dramatic setting you couldn't get: http://www.celtica.vda.it/

"Enzos, pictured, are so rare that every time one crashes the others increase in value." Suggests also that the people driving them are incompetent: bit like that multiple super-car pile up in Japan last year. Multiple fines just suggests stupidity and selfishness. As for comments about small appendages; I think DP has already summed that up!

Just seen this thread again. For Italian lakes you might want to try Lago Maggiore or one of the smaller ones like Lago di Orta. Torino is a lot more compact than Milan and for a quick review of the city and some of the mountain roads why not watch the original The Italian Job again?! Just had a look at the Ferrari museum in Italian but there is a ticket booking page in English: https://www.mioticket.it/galleriaferrari/show.asp - 13 euros but you need to prebook. To be honest I've got no real recommendations on places as when I'm off to the UK, France and Switzerland are just places to cross! I can second Window Cleaner's recommendation of ETAP, usually handy if you're in going places mode. I avoid Formule1 as prefer my own loo and shower. When I travel over in the winter I tend not to pre-book hotels as you can get caught out by the weather but that has resulted in driving slightly longer than I would have wanted, occasionally with lucky results: 18e for a room once.

I play football in a regional Italian league...

Funnily enough people like you make me feel sick. Not only stupid and bigotted but prepared to express it as well. Vile.

Good! I hope it's ****ing terminal.
