A tricky Commute ?

[BaggyTrousers]

Pretty straight-forward compared to what I was planning at one stage. Flying to Manchester on Friday night late, bunking down in a convenient airport doss house. All this as a nod to old age, rest of the boys arriving Manc Airport 9.45 am Saturday, but for me to get up to t'International for a 8.45 flight would have me sleeping through most of the celebrations later on.

Hired car between 4 with a non-drinking driver and a night in the Palatial Premier Inn, Teddington where I hope to meet Two Ton Ted, the blackguard who broke Ernie's heart and did him in with a rock cake & a stale pork pie. I'm going to give him the rounds of the kitchen.

Back for late afternoon flight from Manc home for 6'ish with the feeling I can just about remember of being a European Champion.

Might not be the longest ( no comment BR - I've seen yours!)

What goes on tour ...

anyway - I'd be careful who you're libeling; at least til you have tickets for the final.

You think he'll actually make it?

Tipperary dublin Bristol Hereford Portsmouth ( collect the sons) train Twickers ( got to be able to have a swally) and the reverse the trip.

Aye - but the tricky bit is getting from your place to the N52; the rest is a breeze! No wonder Mrs EiT (god bless her) routinely carries 24hr operational rations and Kendal mint cake in her handbag (as I said... god bless her ... we'd probably be dead but for it)

What about the guy who cycled to Limerick and then Dublin, he said he would keep following even to Twickenham and he was doing it for sport relief, Neil ? Don't remember his surname, hats of to him if he does the trip

I think i might have seen him in Dublin Rooster, he was riding down the N3 Navan Rd about 1pm on match day with a back pack on with a rolled up sleeping mat shoved in. Just for a second I thought it might have been an Ulster fan but then i caught myself on. Hats off to him
