  • Thought id start this en route onshore then save the rest for the plane. Nailed it on the boat transfer onshore. Quite good. The story of some survivors and what their experiences were on the day and the following days

    • Started this on the plane. I like Tim Parks. Hes quite funny. Basically hes a uni tutor in Milan but lives in Verona and supports Verona. So for a book he decided to do every game in a season. Started well

      Italian Ways mentioned by me before is also good

      • "French Revolutions" or "Gironimo" by Tim Moore. About cycling the Tour De France / Giro D'Italia routes on a period-accurate bike. Both entertaining.

          Braw read did that on my Spanish hol

          The bus trip to the away game at the start of the season was either Lecce or Bari. Either way a ******* of a trip sounded a hoot you'd need an awfy big carry oot

          Minded me of the old bus trips rom Trumpton to Pittodrie in the 90s

            Aye the trip to Bari is funny. The boys up all night on the Charlie keeping the bus awake. Other guys battering into Lemoncello (how sophisticated)

            Italys a big old c@nt of a country

                • Why on earth did you start that? I got halfway through The Three Musketeers before I realised it wasn't about dugs and stopped immediately.

                  • I’ve no idea.

                    It would be alright & about 3000 pages shorter, if we didnt have to know what every c*nt was wearing at every time of the day.

                    Might just watch the film & say I’ve read it, to sound pure clever and that

                                Good read. Laughed when I read that Hibs used to enter the famous five into 5 a side tournaments at highland games around Scotland and his favourite was Meldrum Sports.
