My trip was sadly interrupted by a killer virus that wiped me out for the trip - fly to belgade, sleeper train to Podgirica, into Skhodra Albania, ferry from Bar to bari on the day of the game, vomiting, crying and a 1AM coach to Ancona to get the next mornings ryanscare flight back to Blighty.


we lost the coach at a desterted service station near to lecce and then walked for 4 hours through to the train station to get the train that got us to Ancona with minutes to spare.


Every single step was agony


I cant remember much of the game as I was lying down on the crumbling terraces


I have to admit that my worst Italian experiences as detailed above were Champions league games v Inter & Juve - unpleasant, if only for the final result- hence my tainted viewpoint



now last months game in Prag was another matter...

I didn't expect you to want me to spell out that Scotland have never got past Round 1 (assuming they'd entered or not withdrawn) of the EC or WC.


Having said that, I'm not feeling particularly big in my pants about Italy's position in their group.

maybe, but we won the Kirin cup the other year.


now thats not something the likes of Pele or maradona can boast about

Wouldn't you just know it, Germany win via a free kick, scored by my favourite German player Mr.Gonad, aka Bollock. They were so average last night it was painful. I really hope they don't progress any further because the quality and standard of their play is woeful.

I think Italy and Holland will both come through from that group.


France = England if they'd qualified. Meaning the prevailing assumption that by just scraping through a poor group, they'll be fine once they get to the real thing, because they have so many world class players.



Ahem....

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
