I’d have risked a scalping for a go on a Native American lass, that sexy ready / brown skin... That’s been my impression of the bars as well. Her Grandad knows I like a dive bar but some of the places I was a bit wary of talking. Most of the places we went were as you described but with stuffed animals etc on the wall. I did like a big mounted elk head in a few places. My wife’s auntie has a lake house past Bute, it is really nice but again, it’s such a long ass, expensive place to get to. Red Lodge is beautiful as well. Her auntie is over from Seattle at the moment and we’re meeting them in York today, I’m going to see if she can get Grandad to meet us somewhere closer to civilisation.

It’s a very picturesque place but there is fuck all to do there. My wife’s Grandad is incredibly racist towards the native American’s. He took us to Custer’s Last Stand and there was a reservation a few miles before it and it was like hearing an American Bernard Manning. “We give them this beautiful piece of land and it’s just full of clapped out cars with about 10 living in each... I obviously didn’t pick him up on the many, many inaccuracies in that sentence! Anyway, Billings is a twat to get to. You can only fly there via Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Las Vegas at a push or in specific seasons, Dallas Chicago or LA. Getting to any of those places from Manchester is a ball ache (or Thomas Cook...) & then I’ve got to plan breaking up parts of the journey for our daughter, who’ll be 5 by then, so it’s not too much. It is significantly easier from London but it’d probably involve a night down south the day before the flight, more cost, more travelling etc etc. It’s fair to say it’s a very sore point in our household at the moment, especially as I not allowed to go to Qatar in December because of it...

Thomas Cook are pissing me off. My wife is from Billings Montana so we’re looking at going there next summer. Cheapest flight is Manchester to Seattle & change but the initial flight is with, unfortunately, Thomas Cook. We’re then looking at going down to Cancun and the cheapest fight home, is again unfortunately, with Thomas Cook. Going to have to see how it pans out. I’m not 100% sure other companies have released their flight prices at the moment for July / August 2020 or at least I hope they haven’t, because they are fucking extortionate.

Apparently <100 people turned up & they didn’t storm the castle.

Repent! Repent! Repent!

Yeah. Klopp made a good point in his post match presser. He asked the room if anybody thought it was a penalty and 1 or 2 said they did (probably local Naples reporters). But the fact a couple did means it wasn’t a clear & obvious error. However, it certainly wasn’t a clear cut penalty either. Personally, I think if it was referred he’d have overturned it as he didn’t stand for any of their shit all night - and IMO it should have been referred. I’ve said before I like VAR, or at least the idea of it, but the implementation isn’t as expected & it’s gotten worse since the World Cup 18 months ago (although not perfect, it was actually decent in Russia IMO). Anyway, I’m over it. Treat it as a minor inconvenience / annoyance and back us to win the next 4.

They do go to the monitor in the CL. This should have at least been referred. I saw a completely nothing foul in the Inter v Sparta game be referred for a red card, which was completely pointless.

The height of masculinity.

Cant you open a pub in the city centre? Can’t be arsed going to Phut-saaay. Looking at Google Maps, it’s only a 10 min drive. It’s also literally round the corner from the old sea who used to run the Harrogate Supporters Club, you’ve missed a trick there.

I was thinking of it as well. Does anybody know how much the tickets are? FYI, Manchester might clash with our title winning parade! Would have loved a few more of the cast there as well, Pussy was only in it 2 seasons, the episode where he thinks he’s in the FBI and crashes his car is hilarious “Fat man is on the move”.

I thought I’d already posted this so double checked before I posted it again. It still makes me laugh. The thousands who died doesn’t make me laugh, that’s tragically sad. The fact somebody thought people would rather watch Val Venus v De Lo Brown over the one of biggest (if not the biggest) news stories of all time, gives me a chuckle in disbelief. Anyway, I still don’t believe the footage in NYC that day. Beyond surreal. Imagine what it’d be like with today’s social media, some opportunist would have made a Cloverfield style film and sickeningly made millions.

The tunes.

Something somewhat lighter than I’ve been posting... I do like Green Day and Weezer. Fall Out Boy are fucking shite though. I’ll be getting a beer and a burger when those chumps are on. Green Days new song sounds a bit like Eagles Of Death Metal. I quite like it. Good to hear Weezer have plugged in the guitars again after they’re bang average attempts a pop albums.

From the new album, The Nothing. Allegedly available from all good torrent sites early. Apparently it’s quite good.
