Ha! I know exactly what you mean.

Ah man. So missed. Not heard this before. Will rectify that immediately.

I’m praying to the pagan god of the earth, as is my wont

Btw Turnstiles, I hope the match is on on Saturday. Tell the groundsman you’ve got 5 VIPs heading over from far flung lands (Shields).

I have a vague memory of this happening, although I certainly wasn’t there.

Fond memories of The Casa. Cans of red stripe seemed to be all they sold.
