    I'll look around and see where to stay nearish to you and let you know. Be good if we could meet for a beer. I'll have an US colleague with me, but he's a good lad and knows I am nuts so he'd understand me meeting to talk soccer over a beer!!

    I'll check that out and let you know. Can't believe I've opted to head that way during Glastonbury week.

    Hey Chilcs, what about the Best Western at Midsomer Norton? That can only be 45 minutes max from Melksham/Westbury? If I can get rooms there, would you be up for a beer on Wednesday evening? If so, and I get rooms, I'll drop you a pm.

    The Centurion? Yes, quite handy for Westbury and Melksham, and only about a mile from me! See you Wednesday then, hopefully.

    If McLaren don't put Stoffel Vandoorne into the F1 team next year, they're utterly mad (even if just for his name). He's Hamilton levels of good.

    Sad news.... my and many others all time great R"



    Just read this on the QPR board, very sad news indeed. Stan is a true England great and played with a rare skill and imagination. He was one of the subjects in the excellent Football Mavericks programme on ITV4., which made a nonsense of the pitiful amount of caps he got for England.
    Heartbreaking for his family my thoughts are with them..

    Okay, just a warning, really cheesy post below... but it's not about girls!

    So last night I went to a house party (bbq, although for some reason I didn't have much bbq food) but it was great because it was a culmination of a year since I first met group of people I first met back in September, when I joined the local Harry Potter society and I'm so glad I did because I've met some amazing people and have had some incredible memories as a result (the girl I like is also a member, so I wouldn't have met her) but it's great because for like the first time in my life, I feel like I'm accepted. I feel like I actually belong. Kinda sad really that it's taken so long to reach those feelings, but... It's just a nice feeling to finally have that sense of belonging. :)

    Sorry for the cheesy post. Is it even worthy of a post? I don't know, some would probably argue not. But I just wanted to share this.... feelgood situation. At least it's feel good from my pov, probably the rest of you don't care, and I would understand that view.

    Good on you Pomps, it's easy to feel alone sometimes, but a quick look around and you'll find a lot of people just like you. Nice to hear.

    I am deeply offended. We've all gone out of our way to make you feel welcome into our not606 family PL and now you've only just felt that welcome feeling.

    I particularly made an effort for you :)

    I used to have the same problem as you, until I stopped being sad and became awesome instead.
