    Apologies i was being an obvious prick

    Im on a FPSO. Greater Plutonio one of BPs two(more coming). My company has the maintenance contract with Total so ill maybe get moved at some point if not elsewhere in Africa

    Luanda is ok at the bay but its a hell hole elsewhere ive seen. No middle class. Rich or very poor. Did you ever have the pleasure of travelling down Sonils Road to the port or did you chopper offshore. Some place that

    I took both chopper or the honking fast boat, but mostly chopper. I had an office at Sonils so there a huge amount of the time. The poverty is in your face. The shacks outside Sonils were palatial compared to the poor sods on the coastal cliffs beside Sonil base. That's West Africa!

    My memory isn't that clear on the game. I just remembered there was a nasty atmosphere, the melee at the hotel, three of us going up on the train, the score and my embarrassment at hearing the chants at Caesar...


    I've also still my match ticket, although in my defence, it did say "To be retained" on it without any indication of how long it should be kept, so I took to mean indefinitely. I have many match tickets...

    Correct, your lot when down 0-2 at Boghead from the Aryan teuchter supremacists...I promised that I would never return to Christie Park but I've been back twice, once for someone called Russell Guild's testimonial against the Dons, and for a pre-season friendly against Peterhead led by the much missed Tattie Cooper
