I don't expect to hear we've signed Mbappe in my absence

err, I did mean to but then what with the mother's stroke. I forgot to actually post the bloody forms. In fairness, our 2 votes will make no difference. Trafford is Labour and will forever be so, I'm afraid

Yeah but the good news is that you are no longer surrounded by Greeks or have to eat Greek food.

Yes, I thought that as well as I posted it.

I hoped Luis might offer a token defence of them. There wouldn't be nearly the deranged passion but beggars can't be choosers etc

There was a mandarin duck in a lake near where i live (it escaped from a wildlife park). I was going to post a picture of it but there just wasn't any point.

Ate rather wonderfully well, actually. Simple cuisine but very nice. The lamb shank I had in the town's best restaurant was quite superb. As for the people, they were very nice, couldn't do enough for you. I would much rather be surrounded by Greeks than, for example, Canadian, who tend to be boorish oafs, in my experience.

And finally - :hehe: seriously, how someone who actually chooses to holiday in the cesspit that is Dubai can comment on any other destination is beyond me
