There’s not the same risk of ending up chained to a radiator either
Yep, there's no need for radiators in Beirut!!

It's a 350 mile round trip for me, taking my boy and first time I've done Swindon, spoke to our ticket office today and apparently there's plenty of tickets left, so on that basis, I would say 450-500 would be a decent turn out..

Talking of being chained to a radiator - reminded me of a great non-footy story. Every man of a certain age will remember.
It was in the 1970s, or early 1980s. In this country, Devon from a distant memory.
A young attractive American woman, (McKinley?) of Mormon religion, chained a man/ boyfriend to her radiator. This went on for a long time. Purely for the purpose of having frequent sex with him. He was not so keen. (Why being chained up was necessary is lost in the midst of time). 😁😃
A very big and juicy trial in its day. About par for the course now. Think that she got found guilty but only remember the salacious details. Have had a higher regard for female Mormon’s ever since.

I imagine it will be a very entertaining game with both teams playing decent attacking football, very tempting......

Joyce McKinney rings a bell? Can't remember why it was front page news! Kinky news must have been front page news then!

Made it to my hotel. Sat nav avoided magic roundabout! Beware scammers at Leicester Forest services. Irish fella begging for cash to help him buy fuel to ' get my wife and kids back to Ireland' as his credit card had stopped working. He had me going at first but my mendacity asserted itself in time. He stormed off, railing at my 'interrogation'. Smelt a rat when he said he could take my details and send my money from Ireland. Seems it's a variation on an old service area scam.

Never been to Swindon so IL see if I can get lost on it tomorrow. Having said that it can't be any worse than driving in Beirut last summer.
Beirut is great fun. Porsche s.u.v. In 1 lane overloaded 1970s Mercedes in the next and shepherd with his flock in the other. You use your horn to navigate your way through. Learning Lebanese checkpoint etiquette was a godsend when we drove from Phalangist Bsharri over the snow covered mountains to the Bekaa valley. Great holiday.absolutely loved the place

That happened to me at the same place about 2 months ago! I didn’t feel at all bad telling him I couldn’t fill his tank up because my company pays and I’d get in trouble - not quite true, but his reaction reaffirmed my deep distrust of him. Glad you weren’t suckered in.
