    Yep. Been to england quite a lot recently, and i'm amazed how much nicer everything is. If anyone thinks birmingham is bad, they should go to Cwmbran.

    During WW2 the minister of work was Ernest Bevan.Because most of the coal miners were in the forces they used to put mainly public school boys down the mines.They were nicknamed Beva Boys <ok>

    I went to Cardiff last week and had a run in with the Welsh family branch of the Mafia. The Taffia.

    They made me an offer I couldn't understand...

    It's hard for me to go to games now. The train fare up to london is a killer on it's own, forget arsenals ticket prices, and since i've been made redundant and living off benefits, it's impossible. Thank god for the internet.
