Had a weekend away planned before the date of the game was changed. Was hoping City got through to the semis as it meant I could go last night, but can’t go tonight.
I only ever managed to persevere and collect the full 1998 France World Cup album. Cost me a fortune but luckily my first wife (RIP) managed to confiscate a few stickers from the kids she was reaching in Bewley at the time.
I can’t vote for City as they have bought their success with oil money. I can’t vote for any team that has supporters who think it is acceptable to appropriate a Brighton pub and call it the Brighton Kop to watch their games on the TV. By default, that leaves Arsenal.
If you don’t go tomorrow but are planning to go in the future, try and book up the Sky Gardens in the City. It’s free but you need to reserve a time slot which gets booked up well in advance. It does give great views looking South from the North side of the Thames and overlooks the Tower of London.
Go early and definitely the Science museum. Eating out in London is expensive but if you don’t mind Weatherspoons, they are good value. Look for 2 for 1 deals and I think the tube is free for young children but best check that before you go. Do they still do kids travel for £1 offers on Southern?
If it took him so long to lace up his boots, why didn’t Dave start changing earlier?
Changing the subject slightly, I was in a pub once and a tortoise crawled up to the bar and ordered a pint. The barman said he didn’t serve tortoises, picked him up, walked to the front door and threw him out...
