Wellington's own barmy army! Lads day out.
 
Right. Who's up for it? One of the reasons to move 12,000 miles for me was to be able to spend 1 Saturday every 8 years watching England play abroad.
I am not missing it. 1 week tomorrow,2000 tickets left (I rang yesterday!)
$20 for adults,and $10 for kids under 18.

Couple that with our unrivalled ability to sing down anything that tries-and we've got a Saturday made in heaven!

Then it's back for Katie's party!!

Wasn't this something we were going to "discuss" - anyway Katie might not want you tunring up to her party pi$$ed again, 1 drunken Fearon is usually enough at any 1 party!

Heard there was a few brits working there, Lisa starts as Midwife on Monday and she is a bit nervous, I think a few beers this weekend might put her at ease a bit
