Orlando for match

[cjx blade]

My reply to Vintage Shirt was a bit blunt in hindsight. I meant it to sound more like "is this a serious request", sorry.

Ha,

yeah I read it in a Jon McEnroe type voice.

There's an 8" black and white TV in the Waiting for Death Arms I believe.

shorehamview tells me he pulled there.

I'm on holiday in Orlando

The real reason for posting.

The rest is just waffle.

shorehamview tells me he pulled there.

What? Where? Who? How? Why?

I'm on holiday in Orlando and am hoping to catch th middlesboro game, anyone know where they may have it on. I'm based at universal but have got a car so can travel.

Buffalo Wild Wings by far your best shout! Close to universal, infact just down the road from the knocked down wet and wild.

Sports bar with great food! Highly recommended!

Exactly! This forum used to have standards.

Anyway, here's my view this morning from my attempt to run

As it happens I found a bar showing football last night but it appeared to be some local game. I've got them to prepare a lobster or two for the match and I'll be going there anyway to see

Oh, fuck off.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Oh, fuck off.

He does, regularly, normally by 1st class!

Chauffeur, I'd heard. And none of that "economy" nonsense with the riff-raft either.

Nice view! I strained my eyes looking at that, trying to work out which country it is. I have to say I haven't a clue. But it does look rather nice - at least the sun is out there.

I've got the Sky Sports TV package on my mobile phone - I don't know if that works abroad - I haven't tried it - but if it does then that will come in handy. I know having a Sky box works abroad. I had one fitted at home several years ago just so I could take it with us, when we went to live abroad and keep in touch with what was happening back home.

If I'm travelling abroad and want to watch a game it's usually easy enough, in major cities, to find a bar with Sky. The exception is America. The most foreign country I've ever been to. Even there, I have found a few bars with Sky in the past. Googling "Irish Pub" is often a good bet.

Have you tried asking the catering staff at the Lane to prepare you a lobster or two for the match? I'm sure they'd be up for it? Make a pleasant change from serving pies, crisps, chocolate bars and Bovril and I'm sure it would catch on. I think you should insist on "fully dressed" lobster though because it would be totally entertaining watching them young kids, who struggle to serve a pie and Bovril, "dress" a lobster at half-time.

It's how emirates like to transport people like me.

It's the island or Syros. A very pleasant little place with a low population of riff-raff... but a million steps.

Scoped out a bar so I'll either watch it there or on the phone/ Mac using the DNS

I might ask for a lobster on the kop next time I'm home

Don't be fooled. It's just a screenshot of when he opens up his computer and the bar he found was him just looking through a Dixons window at the teles inside doing trailers for the match. When he looked down he noticed some fish and chip paper with discarded Scampi. His mind wondering where it all went wrong for him.

Very nice that Swiss. I was thinking of doing a last minute getaway next week, once my son's 'A' level grades are confirmed on the Thursday. That's assuming he's got the place he wants at his Uni of choice. If not, we'll have to spend the next two weeks chasing our arses around the country trying to get him in somewhere else!

I'd thought of the Greek islands also. In fact, I was there back in June. I was invited out to Athens on a speaking assignment, so I took the missus with me (at my expense) and then we had a few days on the island of Poros when my work assignment was completed. Poros is ok for a weekend, but it's very small. We hired a car and drove around it all in 20 minutes!

Some years ago, when my eldest was just a babe in arms, we went to the island of Ikaria. Again, very nice, but very small. Not a lot to do and after a few days you've done it all.

The big islands are great for variety of course, places like Crete (which is probably my favourite), Rhodes and Corfu. But they can be very touristy in some places and personally, I don't go on holiday to smoke, play cards and wear me football shirt all day long and talk to other Brits about football in a bar all day. In fact, I go to totally switch off from everything and just enjoy the weather, the food, the scenery, the relaxing, the local sights of interest etc.

In any event, if we do dash off somewhere it will probably only be for a week now - so a small island would be rather nice - one where there isn't a football shirt in sight preferably.

If you fly to athens, santorini etc you can easily get the ferry to the smaller islands.

Not been to the Greek islands for years so this trip is a great little taster, Athens & 8 islands in 19 days
