I have two in my house. I fitted one in the front room last autumn and endured mockery for it during the winter.
However, come this summer, everyone has accepted that I am a genius for doing so.

He often did in big games. Let's face it: Dennis was a sublime player, but a bit of a bottle job.
Why else would he have been playing for us? :shrug:

Absolutely. I said it throughout his career. He should have been at Madrid with Zidane and Figo winning European Cups, instead of taking it easy with us.
Of course the truly big teams would never have allowed his non-flying clause...

I hope you remind them of the mockery meted out when your fans cool the occupants down
Do they take a lot of juice ?
Now is the time to install a wrought iron fireplace

I always imagined we crammed Dennis into a Mini Metro for the drives through Europe

Regularly. I'm not letting them forget it.
Not a huge amount. Generally, it's heating elements that really burn the leccy.

Yes. Our relationship with Dennis always felt like we were the ugly bloke batting way above his average and just desperately grateful that the beautiful girl was even with him.

Right. So he was practically perfect for us and our aspirations, at that time.
Though, I've always said allowing such snowflakery, even back then, was essentially the thin end of the wedge.

Fear of flying is simply arrogance, of course; a grossly inflated sense of self-worth. Perhaps that was what made him so fine.
