Everyone still celebrating the Rhinos quite majestic win. Possibly the best 40 mins of RL I have seen that second half. Rob Burrows immense. Such a little person too.
Brilliant game it was. I'm just not a happy bunny today with being lectured about our loyal support because attendances are down. if hes such a super ****ing fan he can tell us how we are supposed to act. oh ****ing great one he is.
Morning all. I spent Saturday watching Colchester draw 2-2 with a Yeovil side who didn't want to play at all. God knows how they managed to score twice, just hoofed the ball up to nobody whenever they got it. Reminds me of the old conference days, except they weren't actually aiming for anyone. Off to Vegas on Saturday. Thought i'd start early and won £300 on betfairs slots last night and won another £100 learning to play craps. Hope I haven't lucked out before i've even got there.
My ex gf's sister got married at Flamingo, we had a free bar there. We stayed at Tropicana on the strip, happy times
went for one of the cheaper flights, frew heathrow - Cincinati - Vegas.... 16 damn hours.. arrgghhhhhhhh.
Rhino's game was amazing. After finishing 5th I knew we would go on & win the whole thing. Amazing game Morning all
I did Manchester, to Philadelphia to Vegas…8 hours to Philly, and 5 hours to Vegas… urgh. Next time I will be doing direct with Virgin from Manchester. I stopped at the Circus Circus, cheap, cheerful and did the job it needed to which was offer me a bed to sleep in. I would want to stay further down the strip if I went back though. Mandalay bay is just beautiful.
We're flying direct from Gatwick with Virgin Atlantic. Doesn't seem worth the stop and it's pretty much a day lost if you do it there and back. Not looking forward to the 11hr flight at all. Think it's going to have to be a massive film marathon.
