Re: Today i bumped into...

Currently on a bullet train heading out of Tokyo towards Kyoto, sat two seats away from David Walliams.

Seems quite pleasant even though it looks as if he’s just flown into the country

Re: Club Cash update.

As a long-distance ST holder I use the scheme a lot, and while it has a few faults I think for the most part this is a scheme that the club gets mostly right and should be commended for it. I have used it for Euro matches and home tickets for my daughter, but the bulk goes towards next season's ST. ...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Have to say it was a breeze getting in yesterday no queuing at security or the turnstiles. Has someone organised the piss up in a brewery ? Depends on when you arrived - I was there on the main central bridge at about 1:30pm and the queues were huge, not fun in the wet weather of course, my mate wh...

Re: Football's strangest ball boy [non WHU]

Has anyone managed to kick the ball out of the London Stadium yet, or at least hit the roof or floodlights? I remember a few going over the Chicken Run.

Re: Nah, he plays as a Trequartista - but make sure someone holds in a double pivot

I've been to 500+ games and watched thousands on TV, but I don't understand half the terminology or spot the tactics that pundits (TV and armchair) talk about, so I've come to the realisation I understand very little about football. Which is strange because every 4 years I suddenly become an expert ...

On a similar note there are a couple of foreign enclaves within Switzerland - the German Büsingen in the North and Italian Campione d’Italia in the South. They have a complicated mix of laws, currencies, tax treaties, phone systems, car registrations, etc

Re: Burns Night bash

A friend of mine hosted one a couple of years ago here in Switzerland. As I'm half-Scottish and have all the garb to wear I was asked to address the haggis and read out the Burns poem. As I can't really do a Scottish accent without sounding like Private Fraser from Dads' Army I didn't even attempt i...

Re: Honours List 2024

The honours list is just trinkets for the plebs, another way of propping up the relevance of the Monarchy. Getting made a Sir or a Dame is still lower than the lowest ranks of chivalry. A couple of years ago a good friend of mine was awarded an MBE for setting up a charity that collects food from r...
