Nope, still "Suspicious".

The NAF site, as well as my own, are both blocked due to "Sports", so it might just be an extention of that. :shrug: not that worried, personally :)

No there's not. *sigh* Sometimes I wonder why I post important information. :roll:

On the first pass I misread that as 'no love for Geggs, Mr Sod?' !)

I was sorely disappointed with the preceeding conversation when I filped back a page to see what brought that comment on. :lol:

Mantic are here till 7pm (assuming they show), so by the time I get out, it won't be such earlier than that.
And yes, I'll get a head-count and phone ahead this time.

Wait what?

There was one last year. And the year before. I can even remember covering Luke's hand with burger juice via the pre-match handshake at my first ARBBL.

Talking of McDonalds, the one in the town centre has shut because they now have a shiny new 24-hour one on the outskirts (don't ask, doesn't make sense to me either), so anyone looking for a fast-food alternative just ask. The new one does have drive through now though.

Apparently they didn't want to renew the lease for the town centre.(girlfriends sister worked there part time)

Don't understand it myself, they lose a lot of walk in trade and the local college trade as well.

I went into a diner in the same shopping centre as McDonald was last year. Didnt look much from the outside but I highly enjoyed my food there.

Wow.

IIRC that place was absolutely packed last year and it is incredibly close to the college. Weird. Thinking about it reminds me how much I like Andover town center, never understood why some of the local folks rag on it.

It's great if you want empty shops, mobile phones or greeting cards...


Anyway, in shock news, the Prez has picked his team, so he can manage it, no excuse for anyone else. ;)
