[HwoodMike2umate]

So, despite the fact that we will miss the Liverpool v Everton game ( kicks off at 12.30pm), 3 of us heading to Parma. Slainte

Any bar suggestions for the 1/4 finals on the Friday and Saturday?

[Dave]

Is it on TV?

[HwoodMike2umate]

More importantly will I get on the telly? It’s been a few years since I have. I no who I blame.

[Roidster]

Will tickets be available at the ground? 2 of us heading over.

That’s been the case previously.

Probably no need to worry about them getting a load of new fans on the back of Italy’s performances in the WC!

Well anyone else on the 1.40pm flight to Milan Bergamo tomorrow from Belfast Int? its looking a bit damp in Parma tomorrow and even damper on Friday so we may well just have to stay in bars (or churches or museums) all day but saturday and sunday looking good and sunny.
Staying in Air b'n'b on Borgo Santo Spirito , a stones throw from Parco Ducale. Slainte

I heard mention of a transport strike in Italy on Friday. Usual curse of Ulster rugby.

[Roidster]

Flying from Gatwick to Milan on Friday morning and then getting a train down to Parma. This is all subject to the Italian general strike that's been called. I'll count myself extremely lucky if our transport plans are unaffected and we get an Ulster win!

Well I was going to be but I’ve still time to make alternative arrangements!

Pleasantly surprised to receive a bowl of monkey nuts with our craft beers last night.

Probably the best I’ve had too.

Unusually, there were also monkey nuts available at breakfast.

I didn’t try those.

I had told them HWM had a severe allergy to nuts.

He swells up into a big red & white corpulent thing, his hair goes from grey to white and he loses bladder control.

Wondered what, if anything they might do about that.

Did you notice if anything happened?

I reckon he must have had a few handfuls.

Zebre score 4 tries again this weekend . . . and lose again this weekend.

Zebre score 4 tries again this weekend . . . and lose again this weekend.

I might be happy with that tonight.
