    Morning

    Big fan of the bloke who without fail Monday-Friday morning is sat outside the Caffè Nero by the gym not drinking coffee but drinking a can of Scrumpy Jack and wearing a Liverpool beanie hat. Routine and consistency to be admired.

    I agree with Bobby, pretty cool that.

    Reminds me of an Earthshot prize winner, who converted a bicycle into a solar-powered ironing cart...

    When I was a kid, there was a fella who used to come round on a bike and sharpen knives, axes, garden shears etc. He had some kind of sharpening stone on his bike that was operated by the pedals.

    He was there again just now. Absolute bloke. Clearly just celebrating the PSG result.

    Looking at train tickets for QPR away Easter Monday.

    Six of us, with a friends and family card, £400 for the tickets.

    Thought **** that, so tried it for Millwall the following Saturday, £350 for the rail tickets.

    Tried for tickets to Clapham junction instead; £200 the lot. And they are via Paddington anyway!

    Wierd, but useful to know, eh?

    Millwall it is then.

    It was £11 to Swansea as I recall ... and might have had a student discount... just remember that the difference to trains was significant ...

    Millwall away on the Flix bus with no beer doesn't have quite the same ring to it!

    Admittedly, it's cheaper though.
