Don't worry Stiffy as I couldn't resist.
This thread will be fun. More fun than the one macca23 started a couple of years ago "We seem to have lost an erection":eek::p


Jars will be peeved off:p

I received a PM from macca23 early this morning. Apparently our esteemed poster had a bit of a tumble but is OK.

He and his wife were on a steep escalator with their luggage when it fell over and knocked him down. Being the inclusive bloke that he is he then proceeded to take out his wife and they both tumbled to the bottom. They both have bruises and macca23 has a few punctures on his arm and back but is OK.

The Griswalds move on to Finland today!!

Hmm steep escalator - have to be in the tube then - i can't believe that people actually die each year 'cause of those things!

Hope they have a great time in Finland

I can believe it - Yes it was in the tube and it was the longest steepest one. I was sure I was going to build the stats up by a couple more.

Had a worse experience today though in Finland. Our hosts served up dinner an hour ago - fkg raw fish!! I had to eat it too!! :eek:

Then I found out that Port had gone straight thru to the GF.

Has the world gone mad? :confused:

I've just been called back to the table for dessert. What will that be?? I shudder to think!!

Catch you all later!! ;)

PS Haven't found one single person in Finland who wants to talk about Neil Craig. I figure he couldn't have been their first choice either. :p

Ever eaten berries from a swamp on a bed of some unidentifiable sour tasting matter? That was "sweets". :eek:

When will I see real food again? :(

I see electricity prices in Finland are going through the roof as well:p
I nearly gagged yesterday at brekky when that fkg raw fish made another appearance - I just couldn't butter up for another serve of it.

Dinner was better yesterday. Still all mystery foods but edible. Another adventure begins in a minute when I'm off to brekky again. :eek:

At least they have broadband internet in my room which is a bonus.

The landscape here with the lakes, firs and birches is beautiful but repetitive. Helsinki is a shocker of a city -cold, ugly and sterile with virtually zero history. The exact opposite in appeal to London.

Gee I miss the footy even if we're not playing!!

My heart is racing - I've just been summonsed to brekky!! :eek:

Catch you all later if I survive.

Variety for macca23, that will be the day.

His version of variety is tea at Pauls dining on Crumbed Prawns and Whiting OR Whiting with Crumbed Prawns. Toast and Coffee at 9.30pm or Coffee and Toast at 9.30pm.

When will the rest of the world get into line?

Your thoughts Fergus?

I think you have made macca23 look a bit radical. My understanding is that there is no variety at night - it's always toast first, then the coffee!!

The roadshow has now arrived in Ireland - and despite plenty of asking has yet to find a Neil Craig supporter.

macca23 has spent the last 5 days in Ireland and hasn't had a chance to get near an internet cafe. He's been spending every night down the Irish pubs and can't stop raving about them. He reckons the Irish people are fantastic and has absolutely enjoyed his time there - they move on to Wales today.

He managed to kiss the Blarney Stone to help with the gift of the gab (like he needs and help) so he reckons watch out KG when he is back.

To all the Port supporters - macca23 asked me to pass on his congratulations. In his words - the best side all year and a thoroughly deserved result.

Yes it is quite grey and ugly. Spent 7 hours there a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed...was also hungover though!

Tell me about it-that's how I found out they won-from the first sms I received-rubbing it in of course :(
I'm supposed to be going out tonight and I am seriously debating whether I should, don't think I could bear the celebrations...ah there goes my phone again... :(
