I was Googling around for some pics of London, when I came across this site Dan Heller&#39;s Photo Gallery. (http://www.danheller.com/) The site and pics were so good, I decided to use his thumbnails here. Give the place a look, there are not just pics of London, but from all over the world, well worth the visit.

So, this is London, the city of my birth.

I&#39;m not even going to bother. I&#39;m in Orlando Florida, and I&#39;m sure everyone has at least seen pictures of Disneyworld, Sea World and all the other tourist attractions that keep this poor excuse for a city on the map.

Originaly from NYC though, we all know what that looks like. And I miss it soooooo much too. :(

I&#39;ve supported Manchester United since I was a little kid, over 50 years. My grandmother was a friend of Matt Busby, they met during WW2. I also support Brentford, if you can call them a football team, and Chelsea who my son-in-law played for.

Who was he? I may have seen him play, as i have seen hundreds of Chelsea games over the last 26 years. I was born in Wandsworth and now live in Worcestershire, true blue through & through. :D

Billy_Dean
10-22-2003, 12:10 PM
Steve Wilkins, Butch&#39;s brother. He was there since a kid. Didn&#39;t get many senior games tho, played for Brentford too, like his dad.

Edit: Added full stop. :)

My daughter was round Butch&#39;s house the other week, she likes him a lot, very down-to-earth, not stuck up at all. And Steve is the best son-in-law you could ask for.


:)

Please ask your daughter to ask Butch if he still go&#39;s up the Bridge at all? ;)

Billy_Dean
10-22-2003, 12:39 PM
I&#39;ll ask, I don&#39;t think he does tho, Steve doesn&#39;t, he stopped supporting them when they first became a "foreign" team.

PS: How about we move to the football thread next door?
