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I didn't expect you to want me to spell out that Scotland have never got past Round 1 (assuming they'd entered or not withdrawn) of the EC or WC.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

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....

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
