    the R&W family are off to Lisbon today for a week - any tips? Good bars? Restaurants?
    It’s my first ever trip to Portugal and ironically my company is sending me back there on business 3 days after I get back!!!!!

    Will watch the Europa final there but we are back home for the CL final.

    Crazy, last time you were away I was sat in my bolt hole down here in Cornwall, I'm here again on the beach watching all the action, we have 'Tunes in the Dunes'.https://tunesinthedunes.co.uk/lineup-2019/

    Have a good time mate, keep an eye open for any possible signings, <ok>

    No no no. As wings said get your chompers around a Belem tart (careful on that one) because the pasty may contain horse.

    Wow. I’m not into custard tarts at all, but the Belém one I’ve just had was amazing. Queues out of the shop door into the street. Apparently it’s a secret recipe handed down by the monks of Belém and the shop that sells them is right next door to the monastery.

    Off to Lisbon again in the morning for work.
    Something spooky is happening - there was a Portuguese bloke in our Atrium at work today selling his version of the Belém Pies.
    All these Portugal related coincidences within 3 weeks - what’s going on? <nahnah>

    Perhaps it’s all pointing to us signing Cristiano Ronaldo...........
