 That's a good start zz, hope the weather play's ball for the Fiesta- which looks quite possible- the football fixtures have not played ball this year for me- as we are at home against the mighty Spurs on Saturday so will not be attending the Fiesta.  Happy Days Bob

Yes good start- think I would have needed 3 there, so already a few to look out for next weekend.
Shame about timing of football season- I hope Spurs can be as mighty as you suggest.... I suspect a draw this weekend.

Only 4 mph winds between 6 & 7 tmoz according to the weather forecast- would wander down myself but don't fancy fighting my way down the various motorways avoiding caravans etc and lot's of queues-But I hope they fly for you guys- and you get loads Enjoy!!!!!

BTW hope you enjoy the game this afternoon and Everton get three points,the Royals are at Wolves this afternoon.

It's raining now but the weather has been nice apart from the dreaded wind. Tomorrow has looked like the only slot all week apart from maybe tomorrow evening, fingers crossed. I haven't even bothered to get up so far.

Thanks Dave, I will be well happy if we get three points but it will be hard against a very good Spurs side- and hopefully your boys will do well at Wolves and that you and everyone else has a great launch tomorrow at Ashton Court.

Happy Days Bob Poor effort Bob... Leave immediately after the game and you should make it in time for the morning launch...! usual plan for me- park at Long Ashton, stand somewhere up the right hand side, outside or inside the field if I get a wristband. Then I think Lulsgate, Kemble, Brize and Kidlington on way home... maybe see some of you tomorrow |

ZZ, Hope you and the rest of the guys and gal's (off course) have a great day tmoz- with plenty of silk floating around. I know I have let everyone down by not going tomorrow- but it is a long way and I am on a road trip next Saturday when I am hoping for some nice weather. Happy Days Bob

Told you it would be a draw... Yep- we run out of steam in the second half- the manager said we were only 71% fit and he was right- but Tottenham took over and could have won it in the end had it not been for a fantastic save by our keeper- but that's what he is there for- Spurs are a very good side though and won't be far away at the end of the season.
