to wonder if I'll ever go again.
I mean my last game was about 5 years ago and that was only because it was a corporate entertainment gig. I can't think of anything that would drag me there now and seriously begin to wonder if I'll ever bother again.
The thought made me a bit sad - albeit not sad enough to actually want to attend a game. :-\
Someone posted a video on facebook yesterday of a display at City airport airshow in 1999. It was 30 seconds in before I realised it was me in the driver's seat. :hehe: This induced a wave of nostalgia, almost immediately followed by a rush of relief that all that is behind me.Quote:

Wise words, I think you'll agree.
You still owe Ms A a pint from that game, btw. So if you have a shred of honour and decency ...Quote:

You will wire the monies? Excellent.Quote:
