Well we actually said goodbye to Golconda, Illinois, yesterday, and today we're in Evansville, Indiana, sat in our room in a Drury Inn with a fat 10MB free internet pipe at our disposal. Which is good.
And tomorrow morning we're in Leeds, Yorkshire, where we're going to embark on the exciting adventure of forging a life for ourselves in England, UK.
In about two weeks' time we'll be house-sitting for three months for some friends of ours, and it's a fucking palace, I tell yers. There are about eight bedrooms, huge kitchen, the works. It even has the internet on the wall! Imagine that.
So: how about a LeedsMeat sometime this summer (July, early August, for example)? We could probably put up just about everyone from TMO for the night, the house is that big. And there's a huge park right next door, where we could play footie or something, and then a big pub just over the road from that, all in the lovely leafy suburbs of Leeds' fashionable Roundhay.

That would rock, I was thinking just the other day that it seems like ages since I last saw most of you. That's assuming I'm still allowed to come now that I rarely even find time to post the occasional rubbish I used to.. Posts: 2337

Hasn't this thread been done? The TMO Brideshead Revisited Orgy?
Can I put a vote in for AUGUST, as July is full of hen nights, weddings and locust experiments?

When I saw the little lamp next to announce, I secretley yearned for a meat - I haven't been back to the mother country for 6 months, and a proper meat is indeed the stuff that stirs the desires to return home.
And Yorkshire sounds like a plan indeed - proper people, proper beer and hills! Yup count me in - just give us enough notice to get my flight booked.

Hmmm.... verr interesting. I had been considering an odyssey to the 'north', to take in pals in both Sheffield and Ilkley. Such a Leeds meet would make any such weekend complete.

I will check with the people whose house we're going to be occupying, see exactly when they're coming back so we know what we're playing with (I'm not sure if they're returning early, mid or late August).

Definately interested, but commitments aplenty over the summer, so we shall see.
Will start training for the 'kick about' now though.

Is this going to be one of those school-lunchtime afternoons? You know the ones. Or maybe you don't. The boys realise I can't kick very well and start keeping the ball away from me, even - especially - the boys on my own team, so I give up and skulk over to the girls sunbathing on the grass, but on noticing my approach they turn all nasty and ward me off with scowls and shout GIRLS ONLY, GO AWAY, and I spend the rest of the afternoon sitting alone on a wall, kicking my heels against the bricks, picking at my fingernails, watching clouds, waiting for the bell.

Perhaps Fionnula, you could sneak along to classroom 2S and play Strip Spin The Bottle. That's what we did with the one boy who never played football with the others. He is a gay now.

Doc d, I feel a strange obligation to defend Forest, but then I look at the league table, think about how they shat on Pearce and hired David Platt, and I realise that I've just given up caring.

well it would make a change for their to be a defender at forest..... wah wah wah.
i feel sorry for forest to and not in that patronising way. my mate is a sheff wednesday fan, and that division is a killer.
getting rid of hart seemed to be a mistake, giving platt the reins was definitely a mistake. as was kinnear. getting 8 million for dawson and reidy, when we only got 2.5 (if he jumps through all the hoops) for huddlestone seems a bit of a steal.

It's been one long line of mistakes from Frank Clarke onwards.
Lucky that people have bought from us for inflated prices (Reid was worth it, Jenas can be good, but Dawson is clumsy and gets away with murder).
Good luck for thursday night though. I have none of the inbuilt er ram-amosity as I'm a Londoner so don't really care about local rivalries (in fact I was completely ignorant of them the first time I went to see Forest play, staying at a friend's girlfriends house, I got off the train to get a drink when it stopped in at Dderby station on the way back in my shirt and didn't get why I was suddenly surrounded by a bunch on Derby fans in a bad mood).
