Manchester and Seattle should be twinned - always feckin' raining in both <laugh>

We went out to visit a mate of mine who lives in Vancouver. We took 6 weeks, having just graduated, and drove from there to Mexico, via The Grand Canyon and Vegas.

Just above Seattle is The Olympic Peninsula, the location of The Ho Valley, which is the only northern hemisphere rain forest. Crazily beautiful place, as is so much of that part of the US. Great to drive around. The only drawback? We were camping in a lot of places and a fair few of the sites were 'Closed due to bears worrying campers'. That upset my 'city boy' cool to a significant degree. I'd only camp near to someone with a dog. I was terrified.

Anyone been to Crater Lake, Oregon? OK it's a few hundred miles from Seattle but it's kind of in the North West too. Utterly spectacular place.

Unfortunately not - driven up and down the coast on 5 a few times to SF and Sacramento, but not inland.

We ventured in off the 101 to go there. Truly stunning place. I loved Mt St Helens up in Washington State too - lots of volcanoes up that way. It really is a stunning area.

Twitter boldly predicted an announcement at 5pm that Prince Philip had died
...which soon became how the announcement that Prince Philip had died would actually be at 6pm

All I know is I got 1700+ tweet impressions in less than ten minutes when ripping the piss out of this.
 
According to the hacks, Son, Lamela and Pochetinno were all destined to leave yet all have signed new contracts.
Now they have moved onto Trippier and Eriksen...would be tragic if it were so funny <laugh>

Meanwhile, over in the rough part of Fulham, I can't help but notice Courtois and Hazard aren't signing contract extensions...

Today's blog from the number one source for being a misanthropic bore who doesn't have a clue, how it's appalling that ENIC have made money.

I'm sure Parma fans were ecstatic when Parmalat went belly up as it freed the club from their shackles of their corrupt ownership and the team was finally allowed to operate on their own terms...in the Italian third tier, which is generally what happens to clubs whose bank balance drops to £0.00

Bit like mining or any other business for that matter. When a mine stops producing gold, no one is confident of getting there money owed to them, so employees worth their salt go and ply their skills elsewhere, the supporters (investors) all pull out and what's left is a ghost of what once was.
 
This is the only fan site I visit, the main attraction being the (generally lol) balanced and intelligent discussion :emoticon-0148-yes:

I just paid a visit to TBH and part of me wishes that it is a set-up from the clubs’ enemies, aimed at destabilising us at a key time. I have little doubt that there is an element of that involved - but fear that in the main this mirrors the incoherent and ignorant ramblings of a Neanderthal sub-class, too stupid to put rational concern into a reasonable form of words.

The anger and pure hatred aimed at DL and ENIC on that site is both embarrassing and shameful. The club is not perfect and we all have our concerns - I have friends who were shareholders in Tottenham Hotspur plc one day and disenfranchised without warning the next day following the takeover - but we’ve all moved on with the club we love and have been largely rewarded as a result.

HBIC has perfectly summarised the logical status of the build - it’s on course and largely on budget - and I personally trust both Poch and Levy that any ‘targets’ they had have not been lost by penny-pinching.

Thankfully, there’s at least one safe harbour....... Cheers lads! <cheers>

Rant over......
