Heading out to Italy for two weeks

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Here's the tour I'm doing

certainly gonna see a lot of stuff :jealous:

I've been to Venice (Beautiful and not at all smelly), Verona(they have a McD's and a coloseum (sp) type thing ) and Lake Garda (go out on a boat if its cheap and you can be bothered or go swimming) and take lots of pics

ps oh and apparently Florence is def worth a visit, I notice it is optional. Also tell your mum to have a look in the leather type shops/stalls any woman I have known that went there got a stack of bargins (don't tell your dad ). Worth looking at the market stall for the odd football top if thats your thing too

Aye, every optional excursion is covered - My father likes to holiday in style

Having said that, I know about the cheap leather goods there Still have my wallet on me that they brought back 2 years ago (and a belt as well, come to think of it)

Logging in from a PAYG internet phone at Heathrow

One of our hand luggage bags got stopped at security - Someone thought the camera bag could have held explosive substances

Will probably send an update when I get to Roma - In the meantime, any mods fancy posting the IP of this post to see how "secure" this terminal is?

ATM calling from an internet point in a wine bar in Lucca

Only called in to see whats been happening recently. Feels a little weird not knowing all the national news (English newspapers are available in rare places around the places Im staying, but they are the previous day).

BTW, a special message to Manker concerning Friday - How do you like those (red) apples?

Obviously I'm not happy about any good fortune that you lot get but it is tempered with the fact that you have to pre-qualify for the first qualifying round - and it fecks up your pre-season.

UEFA must be glad that it was a fairly small club that they had to accomodate, rather than one of the big teams. If United were in the same boat in 2000 (the year subsequent to us winning the proper treble) then I'm sure they'd have stuck us straight in at the group stage


Hope you're having a good time, btw
