Nah, they're all wonderkids with a future value in the tens of trillions

Absolutely nailed on.

Was talking about him just the other day as it happens, driving down Westgate Road and my dad casually mentioned that the Young Liberals office was upstairs from Mr Rahman's shop back in the day. (Yes, near the motorbike shops.)

Aye, but you had "Voulez-Vous" on repeat and were doing every "aha!" until the neighbours called the police

I did drive a bit in London, to be fair, but only ever occasional hire cars/Zipcars. Anyway, all I wanted was a reliable little runaround so I'm currently* blasting out Eurovision tunes from a 2019 Hyundai i10. Living the dream. *Not as I type, obviously, that would be irresponsible.

As someone who recently bought his first car at the age of 44, I can testify to this

Took the East Stand good and proper.

Only fair to treat yourself on your birthday, like.

Also good in a Brendan Foster commentary voice, à la Douglas Wakiihuri

Just back from a long weekend on the coast of north-eastern Germany with very similar feelings. Good infrastructure, joined-up thinking, everything broadly works. Also drove to Poland on Saturday morning for parkrun and breakfast on the beach promenade, and (as I felt in Warsaw last year) the place has a quietly prosperous feel to it. I'm aware we were mostly in well-maintained beach resort towns which aren't representative of the two countries as a whole, but we're talking about places that were behind the Iron Curtain not that long ago, and now they're miles ahead of what we have here, frankly (as much as I do love a slightly tatty British seaside town). That said and if it's any consolation, the new Berlin airport already feels old and the German railways are a total shambles these days, so at least we have that in common.

I remember one of the fanzines reprinted a French newspaper article from before the 1994/95 UEFA Cup draw where the headline was literally "Anyone but Newcastle". Nice to be spoken about in that way again.

This is relevant to my interests

Lovely stuff, ta

How's the sizing, about what you'd expect?

Don't worry, it's a Tory promise.

Good call. There's one place that claims to have multiple screens for simultaneous matches so I'll have a look in, but I'm not counting on anything.

Duly noted.

Brave. The question is whether the only sports bar in Stralsund will be showing it liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive. Pray for Meenzer

Looking forward to getting Willock back to bring on at times like these.

Aye fair enough. I'm still being deprogrammed from a decade-plus of good things not happening for us.
