    @smithy in nl I'm in Holland for 5 days, 7th Nov - 12th Nov. On the 8th, Feyenoord are home to Ajax but Arnhem are also at home to Alkmaar. Would you have trouble getting me a ticket for Feyenoord with it being such a big game? Sweet if you can't like cos I love Arnhem and was going to spend a day there anyways and I should have no bother getting a ticket for that game.

    Sounds like you made the most of your break <ok>

    Paying for your lass to go to a west end show <doh> Dubai would've been cheaper <laugh>

    Don't catch anything you can't explain away in the next 5 days either! <rofl><rofl>

    Got a degree in Thickology, haha. Nah....never went there. Got me A levels. Worked in a bank, then studied accountancy with
    the NCB (Gateshead). Dropped out, and into NCB Estates Management. Didn't finish that either. Got a job in Saudi oilfields (1981),
    knowing nothing about it. Laid off recently. OK.....63 now. I'd go for apprentice-ships.

    Yes mate, called in at Runcorn and seen the house where I first lived for the first time too. I expected it to be a right **** hole but me Mothers always been very decent and it wasn't a bad street at all. Chester was lovely, went to the Cathedral and round the town then finished off going down by the river. Went to the zoo on one of the days too. I'll definitely go back, top place <ok>

    Really? I was talking to a couple of members of staff, one in the bat enclosure and one when I was looking at the Rhino's. Wonder if I have met one of our posters without realising it!

    I love watching the bats.
    There is various species of bat. Some small, some quite big.
    What's the biggest breed of bat - cricket or baseball?

    Not really a bat either mate & even if it was, it's not the biggest.
    I mean, if some **** was gonna twat me around the napper I'd rather it be a tennis raquet than a cricket or baseball bat. <ok>
