Given that I've got to leave before they'll announce the game is off I'll be coming for a pint either way.

For all of its lovely romantic and historical splendour, the site-lines at Highbury were in many places, a bit ****.

Arsene Wenger (i.e. he can do no wrong ever), but you're tired of people being sentimental about a ground that, as uncomfortable as it was (especially the last rows of east and west lower and the NB) had a very unique style and aura to it. Nice one.

home game. That's not the same as constantly slagging off our current home.

Furthermore, I do not hold the position that AW can do no wrong.

enjoyed any of them (apart from the Bergkamp testimonial). Wish I'd been there for the second barcelona game, that sounded quite tasty.

buy you a drink if you decide to go to that one. I may also be going to the game in Munchen. Hope we beat the Hammers, can't stand them, ever since the 80s and that John Dickenson stabbing and all, they were such "nice" chaps :****er:

shame about the bowling. Bresnan is clearly not the same bowler as before his elbow injury and the less said about Dernbach the better. I saw what you said yesterday about Meaker being raw but he has to be worth giving a chance to about his county colleague (silent o).

Though if you have to drive further to get there for a walk then fair enough. Same reason why I won't be walking in Berkshire.

We're working through a book of Dickens-themed walks at the moment. Done Hampstead, Highgate, Islington, Fitrovia, Soho, Bloomsbury so far. Might even venture south of the river for the Southwark one next.

Living in a small block of flats, I am largely surrounded by other flats and we share warmth. Even with snow on the ground, if at home during the day I rarely have the heating on for more than a quick blast every now and then. :scrooge:

Raki/Slivoviza type hooch. Whenever I used to visit my ex in her folks' rural retreat the farmers opposite used to give me a bottle of the stuff. :-

I probably didn't express the shops point very well. Or f**ked it up completely. I believe there is a thing about overall transportation required to resolve the distribution/consumption circle or something.

No offense, of course. I was merely jousting with Nic.
