I'm good Ohso. I just got a phone call from our Mallorcan solicitor to say that the deal has all gone through this morning and he now has posession of the deeds and keys to our "new" house. So it's out with the Veuve Clicquot this evening
How are you doing buddy?
Well done mate, you'll have to fill me in on the details.
Same old down here mate, very little change just now.
Bloody hell, is Uncle Pervert still on here?
^^^^^UH draws the baggies out the bins yet again
......never fails !

By the way i had no idea the disaster in the Philippines was so bad, must have caused you a hell of a lot of grief and worry Bute?

Sorry - just seen this. Yes, we were up half the night after it hit Leyte and Samar, rearranging accommodation for guests that had flown in to Manila that day. Internal flights were cancelled everywhere. The situation is mainly confined to a narrow path that the typhoon took crossing the country. Iloilo and Coron Town were hit quite badly too. However, for much of the country's tourism and resorts it's "business as usual". http://goo.gl/EmPHtv
Yep, people need to keep visiting now more than ever to generate money.
The news has us believe the Philippines is destroyed, hell they even sent Anderson cooper out there as the man on the ground

I've thought for some time now that he's a Baggies fan and as 50/50 has pointed out he only listens to matches on his radio.
Herb knows a hell of a lot more about Wolves than some posters on here and can actually name more than two matches he’s attended. If he is a Baggies fan (and there’s no doubt in my mind that that he isn’t) at least he’s done his research.
Many people on here rely on radio coverage for games they can’t get to. I regularly listen to away games on the radio as the best available option compared to watching a vidi-printer or relying on whats being said on a website. Given the choice of radio (which Herb and many others have) or nothing (which is what you have) which would you prefer Sunny?
You just can't help it 306, can you?
You have no bleedin' idea how many matches I've seen, but it's a whole lot more than what you think. I even made a special run up to Molinuex on the day we landed, when we were last in the UK.
Surprised you're sticking up for someone who has nothing positive to say about Wolves. Actually, I'm not.
What’s up Sunny? Like to dish it out but can’t take it back?
I’m well aware you came to Molineux last time you were in the UK. You’ve mentioned it several times before and I’ve seen the pictures on your wife’s FB page.
I’m also aware, because you mentioned it, that you came to Molineux once with Sunny Junior and got all scared when the nasty people in the underpass took the mick out of your cocker-knee accent.
So as per my original comment that’s two games you’ve ever confirmed you’ve attended. If you’d like to share your reminiscences about any others please feel free, I’m sure it will be a gripping read.
Going off on a slight tangent but following on from Tatts comment.
I'm thinking of taking my two sons to the MK Dons match in December one is 20 and the other is 3 and a half.
Anybody think its a bit too young for the younger of the two?
If we do go we will be the ones with the Celtic/Borussia Dortmund flag.
"Anybody think its a bit too young for the younger of the two?"
Yes.
But I am a miserable git that thinks children shouldn’t be seen or heard in public until they are at least fifteen. Last thing I want while I’m eating out, drinking in the pub, watching football or any of life’s other great pleasures is someone’s mewling brat crying, puking, shítting, running around or screaming anywhere near me.
My own self interest apart would it have the slightest idea where it was or what was going on? Wouldn’t you just be putting it through a cold noisy uncomfortable experience for nothing?
Ha Ha "it", thats my pride and joy you're describing.
Let me know where you're sitting so I can bring the other 3 as well.
He watches a lot of football with me so he is definitely interested will be tough keeping him interested for the 2 hrs though.
Will make sure we get tickets in the family area so we don't disturb you.
Sorry Tara that wasn’t meant as an insult I re-read your post after I’d posted mine and realised you’d specified sons rather than children. If i’d paid more attention I’d have referred to “it” as “him”.
I never thought you’d bring them into the South Bank so you’re not likely to impact on my “match day experience” <shudder> but I do think that 3 is too young.
No explanation needed Tatts.
I didn't factor in the 2 hrs of sitting in the cold.
Might just be me and my eldest "it" then.
But I am a miserable git that thinks children shouldn’t be seen or heard in public until they are at least fifteen.
Fifteen
Far too young, 30 at least. If they are Cypriots, then add 10 years to that as Cypriot lads don't mature until they are in their 40s imho.
I know you’ve mentioned your eldest being a Celtic STH but what’s the Dortmund connection?
What can I say Cyp? I’m overly generous and tolerant, it’s one of my failings!
"generous and tolerant"
I feel a name change coming soon for you Tatts.
I don't know why, maybe Wolfgang knows, but Celtic fans support BVB.
Might have been after a game they played I really don't know.
I would ask my son but he's probably still sleeping.
Can't help feeling you are missing a trick here tara?!?!
A 20 year old who will no doubt enjoy a beer with his dad, why would you take a youngen to get in the way of a complete matchday experience?
