8 days of undulterated bliss in the United Arab Emirates

[Peter]

I once guiltily extinguished a cigarette when I saw a policeman in the street in India which caused him some distress, as he insisted that I lit up and continued to enjoy my smoke, as the law was for 'local people, not white man!'

I lit a fag at Singapore zoo along with my chinese-malaysian colleague. A guard immediately ran over and told him to put his fag out

Fúck all wrong with Clonakilty pal.

I watched Bergkamp's goal at Newcastle in a pub in Clonakilty.

United fans everywhere....

[Burney]

No, but then getting flattened by B52s as a result may have changed their attitude somewhat.

I've been watching thon Vietnam War doodad. I am more convinced than ever that the main problem the US had was being a bunch of fùcking pussies. I'd have invaded North Vietnam and asked China exactly what the fùck they planned to do about it whilst pointing to all my bright, shiny nuclear weapons and conducting less than subtle manoeuvres with the US Pacific Fleet.

You always claim to have no emotional attachment to the club.

I cherish the friendships that are borne by our common brotherhood. The camaraderie on match day, the feelings of joy and despair in equal measures resulting from such things as Bendtner's goal v Spurs or the sight of Giroud coming off the bench.

It is indeed true I feel nothing special for any of the current players, there is no hero in there, no players you would defend to the point of ridiculous in the pub argument.

What of it?

Apart from the weather - cracking pubs it must be said

I tend to agree, but those little yellow-skinned fellas are seriously as hard a fúcking nails, b. Wiry, you know. And they'll march all day on a cup of rice. A tricky opponent under even the best of circumstances.

I agree with you here. However, I do like Koscielney but he is a defender so hard to be excited about. Kolisinac also has the potential to become a favourite.

**** defenders those africans though

You can be as hard as you like, but starvation, disease and massively superior firepower will still soften your cough.

D'you know they always give me the same room at the MO, just because I mentioned once, perhaps 12 years ago, that I liked it. 617, a few doors down from the John Le Carré suite. They never forget.

Indeed. Hotel software is designed to store customer preferences so that should they return the guest can be made to feel special by having their stay tailored to their satisfaction, and hence more likely to return again.
