How weird is that!Quote:

Even pointed it out to my mate. Are they common in London or something?
The one I have I 'picked up' :cool: in a bar in Basel two weeks ago. I thought it came with my £10 single cognac, because I didn't see any pole-dancers trying to engage in deep conversation with me, which is what I normally expect to come with a £10 brandy. Solid silver with Moet et Chandon on the front. I gave it to Conchita to use with her Cava telling her: 'Presents like that you just can't buy in the shops.' :DQuote:

Got an e-mail from my mate in Paris.

If anybody needs a spin down from Charleroi on Saturday 9th about 2.00pm or back up on Sunday 10th morning for the 10.20am home, pm me or post up here. (we're doing the flying visit version obviously ;) )
There's a gang of us with a people carrier hired and we have a spare seat, it'll save you forking out for a car yourself or on train fare.
Are who all redheads?Quote:

has anybody heard how many irish fans the FAI or french FA think are going to be at the match. everybody that you talk to seems to be heading over
Pretty sure that they're not all red heads. I never knew that they were.
Moulin Rouge is the French for "Red Windmill" :)
Irish gunners my arse. Support an Irish club.Quote:

6 More for Saturday afternoon
There's a lot of local pubs in around Clichy - Edward & Sons, Le Progres and Rendez Vous Des Artists. I'll be keeping an eye out for any EL shirts in the Pigalle/Clichy area, should be a good few lads out that way.Quote:

Count another 4 of us in for the tower
Another 2 for the tower pish up...See yiz there lads!
So...how exactly are we to find each other? It won't be under the Eiffel tower (no grass/tourists) but on the grass part in front of it where there's enough room for several thousand people :)
Maybe we need nametags or something !
Just look for the one`s wearing Ireland jerseys and knocking back the flaggens! ;)
I'll be there with my Ireland jersey on but i'll have cans of Bulmers Original :D
Is anybody flying over from Belfast on the Saturday, think it's around 11 o'clock?
You'll be taking it with you or be disappointed in Paris :)Quote:
