At least it is in Munich, so do not have 3 days of bagpipes being played in Berlin. The best fans is the world blind drunk, pissing in the street, sleeping rough and not washing. Moritzplatz U Bahn is already a haven of rough sleepers taking crack and smack and I suspect the Tartan Army...

Ninian Park and the Vetch were 2 that were always a mix of interesting and lethal. That 2-2 draw at the Vetch on a Friday night around 1999 is still one of those how did we survive. Not helped by being thrown out of our digs at 1130pm, breaking back in at 1am, sneaking back out at 7am and...

8 hours and 5 Brewdog beers to choose from in the package. What can go wrong?

German bureaucracy got in the way of doing the legal bit in Berlin, pesky auslander. So 15 minute job in Copenhagen, then beers in Mikkelar.

0630 on the Thursday, Berlin HBF to Amsterdam, return around 11am on the Friday, but just the start of a week of trips. Travelling out to Amsterdam with @Herr Tubthumper . Will be good to be travelling with him again, been a while. Sunday 710am flight Berlin to Gatwick. 8pm Gatwick to Berlin...

Weird reading this having lived through the struggles to actually get a ground in Brighton and Hove. This season the pre game transport has been a bit roulette based, although on Sunday the 138pm from Brighton was empty and one drink post match allowed minimal queuing to get the train and was...

Amsterdam was fairly reasonable, direct train was about €120 return, first class. Motel One was a standard price. Athens not too bad, Scoot flight really cheap, but slightly concerned it will end up in Singapore...

A very pleasant beer as well. Thanks.

The Berlin ones do not generally go from the same gate! Easy enough to work out end of the airport. Gate announced 1 hour before the gates 100 plus. Less than an hour, then Wetherspoons end gates (North Terminal). Fast Track security in the North Terminal helps.

The dentist point was a real surprise in Berlin. Pretty much all included in the public insurance. For instance SBK covered the removal of 4 wisdom teeth, slight worry was the dentist in a former DDR building at Alexandraplatz seemed to enjoy her work a bit too much. If I had to have these...

The strike, plus the U2 being knackered around Alexandraplatz means I have a section of the office to myself today. Fantastic.

Went to it in Berlin a couple of year's ago. Best thing was it was next door to BRLO beer garden and it was a nice day.

Thank you and have a great Christmas as well.

A bounce in hope more than anything

Long time no post, so hello out there. A bit of a desperate stab in the dark, but back for Christmas and after a lift to Southampton on Boxing Day. Staying in Farnham, Surrey, frustratingly 45 minutes from Southampton but carless. Are there any Albion fans, based in the Farnham, Aldershot...

Fine in 2020, but not in 2021 or now where Amazon are.selling FFP2 masks by the bucket load.

It would probably help if the UK did not think that a cloth covering was enough. Research has shown that FFP2 masks do make a difference but for some reason, the UK government ignored this and did not make them the de factor mask. Probably too late now. Bumble***** policy of herd immunity is...

Hopefully at some point Easyjet will put the 0940 on. I could be in the Caxton by 1145am is everything worked. For this weekend it is going to be the U8 from Mortizplatz at 5am and then the joys of that awful new airport. Also there seem to be engineering works on the Brighton mainline this...

It is a real pain, there is only one flight on a Saturday to Gatwick at the moment, that lands at 8am. Long day ahead pre game.

All booked for December as 2 Astrazeneca jabs means you qualify for a booster. However at the weekend they have now said anyone they wants a booster jab can have one, whatever your criteria.
