A goodly few years back, Squeeze did a tour called the ‘pop up tour’, and I saw them at that time in the Philharmonic in Liverpool.
Afterwards, you could buy the concert on CD in a gatefold, then get the whole band to sign it. They were very nice to all, and I believe Gilson was in the band at that time.
You have a decent team, players know where they are, you leave alone, as success breeds success, and a team becomes harder to beat, each player knows each other player and what that player is likely to do.
You then go on a run, build a longer run and get feared by other teams. We are the ones to respect, not fear other teams.
Mind you, we won’t get far with a donkey in between the sticks. At present our keeper will cost us points every match, and he, and the reserve keeper just cannot hack the game. Never championship standard, as the keeper isn’t learning his game, he’s a liability.
It seems like madness out there, regarding manager turnover.
Care to have a fun guess that once the very last kick of the ball in the very last game in all non ‘premier’ leagues has finished, what the grand total will be?
At the far end of the metro, you come up to a bus to take you the 5 minute drive to the Free aircraft museum.
Yes free
And a great selection of English and Foreign aircraft. Totes recommended.
Or you could go to the bend in the road that sympathisers tried to kill the nazi that must not be named Or visit the church where the partisans holed up , which is riddled with bullet holes.
This evening around 4.45pm I was passed by a small silver car, full to the boot, haring up the centre lane.
Car was as mentioned, quite small, maybe a corsa, jazz etc. it definitely looked an older vehicle.
Why I’m bothered by it, was the fact that the driver had on his rear left window / quarter light a stick on strip, in blue and white, with what looked like the ‘legend’ ……. ‘The finest football team’
I did flash my lights at him, but he was off like a scalded whippet.
Went on holiday to South America, about 10 years back with British Airways, The route was Heathrow to São Paulo. The aircraft was a trusty old 747, and I was in standard class.
I got on the aircraft and its rammed to the gills. A partner of mine was travelling with me, so I wasn’t going to be lonely.
I found our seats easily enough and started to get into my seat, only to find that my seat was covered in fresh sick, and stank, and so was my partners with more of the bile etc on both seat belts.
The stewardess loudly told us both to sit down, and I said no, the other passengers were restless as we wouldn’t sit down, and the plane was ready to go.
Anyway, I finally got the stewardess to come over as she wouldn’t, and she told me close up face to face almost to sit down or else, I refused.
I then told her of our predicament, and off she sauntered (cabin doors were shut by then) when she came back and gave me and my partner gloves, cleaning equipment and a mask each to clean our own vomit covered seats. (Remember this wasn’t our vomit).
Well, that ain’t happening and more discussions were had between the staff. The stewardess made a call to the flight deck, and out pops the first officer, takes a look, goes back to the flight deck, and ‘bing bong’, ladies and gentlemen, apologies but we have a technical issue we need to rectify before we take off for São Paulo.
Some 20 minutes later and the sick starting to pen and ink a bit, we are still stood in the aisle, when it is announced that due to this situation the flight will be further delayed as specialist cleaners will need to be summoned from the bowels of Heathrow to come and rectify the problem.
Only it’s a Saturday, and no one is around. An hour later, some guy comes on board to check the situation again, and goes off and 20 mins later comes back with 4 guys who remove the seat backs and then seats, and clean / change the seat belts etc.
10 minutes later Stores had found 2 clean seat backs and bases etc, and it was time to fly.
The flight left Heathrow fully loaded 75 minutes late.
No apologies from the ‘worlds best airline’ when I wrote to them
I just wonder how much that delayed flight must have cost them? Dirty Feckers!
I will never fly with BA again after that. Clean my own seat indeed!
