    We had Harry Kane on loan with us. Unfortunately he suffered an injury which kept him out for a few weeks, but when he came back, he looked sadly out of his depth.
    Millwall fans loved him when he was there however.

    Mr H is not very understanding Dan, but i'm afraid i don't take much notice. He's hating this season...i've made more away games than ever...and aside from Friday nights, i've made all the home games (though i won't be at Cardiff which is already killing me! lol). Ha, we have a similar joke...i'm in Hatch End ;)...there are a few of us who are Watford fans...though most don't go to synagogue lol. Poor you! The Rabbi asked if i would take part in the Purim Spiel but i can't this year...it's one of my best friend's 50th party...so i can stay at the match til the end ;). Traffic is dreadful at that time on a Saturday! lol

    Did you feel the country sink a little as I stepped on to it?

    Made Newhaven, but had a long detour before I even made Orleans. Have eaten and had a pint, so a good night before heading north again.

    It's blooming cold. <yikes>

    Morning all from a chilly bandit country - another day off and out to do a bit of shopping with Mrs W_Y and a spot of lunch and then out to dinner tonight for a plat of pasta and the odd glass of wine.

    Glad you made it back to Blighty OK OFH.

    I see that They have appointed ex- Watford hero Billy Jennings to help them find their next manager. Apparently he has been helping them scout their star players, so fingers crossed Agent Jennings carries on his excellent work and finds a new manager that carries on from the last one :wink:

    Thanks in advance for the frothy AK.

    Welcome back Frenchie, hopefully the 'orns' will celebrate your return with some exciting football and a resounding victory!!!

    It was -1 when I got in the car this morning and for some reason the office doesn't feel much warmer. Going to be very busy at work next week, got most of the John Lewis branches arriving on Friday for product training. Should be fun and we will be firing up the BBQ's so hot food for lunch :)

    This is the line at the top of the BBC News ticker at the moment:

    BREAKING NEWS: South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius seen leaving court complex in vehicle after posting bail

    I'm not going to do the obvious gag about the mode of transport, but having been granted bail, is it really news that he has left the court? Half of the art of reporting news is knowing when to give an update.

    'Star' players? Given that he appears to have therefore been an abject failure, one wonders why they would appoint him. ;)

    Morning all from a cold Jersey. Talk about seeing a contrast - looking at the tele I'm watching England coast to victory at what looks like a balmy Auckland. I then look upwards out of my lounge window and see a covering of snow on the roofs of cars and buildings. Strange as it seemed warmer at 9.30 last night when I left a charity quiz than it was at 6 when I was on my way there.

    I've lived in Jersey since July 96, and to the end of last year we had 3 or 4 days where there was some snow. So far in 2013 we've had it on 2 occasions - one lot even stayed for more than one day!

    We would say a barmy Auckland. Bloody Jafas! It is 9 pm here and 16C, which is warm for the time of year. This time next week we will officially be in Autumn.

    I'm nervous about today - think we will have to fight hard. Could even be a draw - although all of our predictors have a home win :) I just get nervous as crucial games approach

    Afternoon all from a chilly bandit country, just about to leave for The Vic. Trouble with giving up beer for lent and substituting it for wine is the effect in the morning.....a bit of a heavy head!

    Good on him for having the cojones to do this at his age.

    Lloydinho, he's about your age - know any lawyers? If he wins this, I nominate you to start the ball rolling towards getting the Hull match changed back to Easter Monday. ;)

    Morning all from a cold part of bandit country. Loved looking at the league table this morning and seeing us in 2nd! What makes it even better is that we look like we should be there. Normally it because we are punching above our weight but this season I really feel we are good enough to go up. We have a good squad which can be used to cover any injuries . We play some lovely football but we can also grind out results when we need to and that's what will get us promoted. COYH!!!
