Hey Imps, our politics may be at odds, but I'd rather hear your rationale than not. Always provoking. Hope the move goes smoothly. Am writing this somewhere about 60 miles West of Oviedo walking the Camino, roughly 250 miles gone and 150 miles to go. Going through the mountains. Home in time for Chelsea all being well.

I enjoyed the Martin Sheen film. How do you do it for real? I'd be very interested to hear the actual details!

Details later, started from Irun and followed the coastal rather than the Frances path. The coastal path is challenging but is a bit like walking from resort to resort. Since Oviedo we have headed to the hills and now the mountains. Serious up and down but the views are just incredible. We are doing a mixture of hotels and hostels. Seriously I'm 67 and pretty fit, and this is a challenge. 23 miles today and over 2000 ft of up. But I'm on my 2nd beer and the aches and pains are washing away... More of the same tomorrow..
Love is the drug... Use it or lose it.

Didn't book anywhere. on one level just followed the signs.. In another way, wherever you plan to stop, get there early.. Today we walked across the mountains 4/5 thousand feet up. The golden eagles were close enough to talk to. I've had a beer with a Polish chemist and an Italian police detective, and it's only just begun.

So which way is Mrs May going to turn? Is she really in the hold of her eurosceptic MPs that she is prepared to put the interests of the few ahead of the country? Surely, she must realise that Brexit has run its course, and it is time for the UK to become a particpating a progressive member of the EU.

All PL clubs should hold up banners telling her to f*** Brexit!! It is not in anyone´s interest to pursue the matter any further.

"All PL clubs" Are you suggesting there is a "different type of fan" attending PL games? Why have you come out with "all PL clubs?"

In case you did not notice, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Fulham, Watford, Leicester, Newcastle, Brighton, Southampton are cities that voted "remain" in the farce of the referéndum. As things stand, those designing Brexit cannot make up their minds what constitutes Brexit, so the farce should be just dumped in the bin. Besides which it is not in the interest of the fans of these clubs having complications added to their journey when travelling to support their team in Europe, and the yo-yoing of sterling against the euro is certainly in nobody´s interest. .

Just out of interest. Do you think the attendees of games in those stadiums have the same ratio remain:leave as those cities? Or could it possibly be that football fans might actually be t'other way? Should "PL Clubs" get involved with something like this at all?

Should they ask the question before selling season tickets so they know the make-up of their support and thus can more accurately state "Southampton football club is anti-Brexit."

Southampton voted leave didn't it?

Either way, it's got **** all to do with football.
