Has everybody gone to watch the match?

Post by reddevil »

Where has everybody been these last few days - the weather must be shining where you guys are, or you have all gone to watch the big game?

The weather is absolutely corking in Kingston today, the sort of spring day that makes you wonder why you would ever want to go abroad - also the sort of day that happens about twice a year here. So I have been to Richmond Park and the playground today, where my 1-year-old has been hurling himself down the big slide with great hilarity. Didn't see any other Lay My Hatters there though.

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in very wet cardiff killing time whilst the Newcastle v some other team match is on. My friend has travelled over from L.A for this match but on Ncle's recent form I fear the worst :cry:

oh ladies, ladies (and charles),

I know women are difficult to understand but when they say "what match" and "some other team", then I am completely flummuxed :roll:

What would you ladies say if we yawned the same way at the thought of spending 1.1/2 hours looking for a dress??

Be careful here red devil - these so called super stars that kick a ball around now spend more time AND money in the beauty parlour than us girls do - they make us out to be complete amateurs...and some of them are known to wear the odd frock, never mind hair bands and pretty things in their flowing locks :lol:

Top marks to Sue for dedication to Lay My Hat. She went to Cardiff for the FA Cup semi-final and still found time to post on the forum! :D

Sorry it didn't bring you any luck in the game (my team won). :cry:

What with Lisbon and Cardiff it's not been a good week for "the Toon".

All over the world adopted Geordies are in deep mourning.

Imagine how real Geordies (those born within the boundaries of the City & County of Newcastle upon Tyne) must feel!

Tansy - yeh, you are right, although David Beckham is a bit of a girlie anyway (probably I'm just jealous of his looks and money - but not his voice - haha) and enjoys wearing Posh's thongs :oops: .

Paolo - I just knew you were a cool guy who makes great choices!

What match....?! What would this world be without football? No scandals for the media to harp on about, no managers earning 5 million a year to throw tantrums, financial managers would be unable to find jobs handling the pittance some of the more renowned footballers making....!
Seriously, it's the worlds favourite pastime and second to none, so I'm not the only fool addicted to this small round piece of leather kiched around a rectangular arena by 22 overpaid players, cheered on by thousands. :!:
Malta – always in the sunshine!

I confess... being an American, I know very little about football (or soccer as we call it here). But I find it very easy to watch an American Football match! :)

Cricket, now, don't get me started. I think I may actually know the rules pretty well by now, but most people from the US are just baffled by cricket.

But I think it's more fun to play... it's a gorgeous day here too and I was just out in it playing softball for a few hours. Got really dirty and I'll be sore tomorrow, and what great fun!

Ah, I didn't have a match ticket, the guys went off to do their guy/football stuff at 11 a.m, killing 5 hours alone in very rainy Cardiff is very difficult so an internet cafe seemed a good (and dry)waste of time. There doesn't even seem much point shopping as every city centre now is an exact clone with the chain stores, chain restaurants and even chain pubs.... Still, match score aside we had a great weekend. And yes, re true Geordies, I saw lots of grown men nearly cry today :cry:
