If of course you get it defrosted!
Might be more than I'm managing. :x :x

Been crippled with sciatica the past 5 days and also Covid +ve.

Will do a late fitness test tomorrow morning, firstly to get down from two little red lines to one, then decide if Tapentadol, Gabapentin and amytriptyline supplemented with as much paracetamol, codeine and hip flask (Bushmills) as is safe, topped off with a TENS machine will get me through 2-3 hours of standing on a cold terrace.

If all that comes together, I might even be coerced into trousers instead of shorts for the first time this season. :shock:

If the forecast temperature is to drop to minus figures I may possibly even consider wearing socks for the first time in years. Nah, cancel that. That would be just an over-reaction! :roll:
You guys still going to Ravenhill :shock:

Enjoy.

Not me - Failed fitness test.

Still two red lines, although sciatica has eased somewhat.

But it hasn't gone away you know. :roll:

All signs of frost have gone away from the garden though, and the shorts (no socks) persist).
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Has anyone tried printing their tickets yet?

Anything we should know in advance?

Straightforward enough once you log in. Had to do them one at a time, but apart from that - no problems.

Will you be bringing some extra flags for fake Ulstermen such as ourselves? Might as well make ourselves seen as well as heard. :fleg:

Apart from that, hoping that the wind and rain levels things up.
