Technically, a grocer of the 1960-1969 decade would be a 1960s' grocer. So no.

If Abi goes on a weekend getaway it'll be while he's playing.

Been very happy with ESPN so far. Pundits are generally good, Hiddink excellent, and I've been enjoying the Italian stuff too.

ESPN is 10 times better than that Setanta shite. No offensive colours and better pundits, Joe Royle, KK, Hiddink etc. No anti-City 'David Dunne' Craig Burley twat either.

Somerset - you remind me of a guy I know who used to say he couldn't afford Sky, then go down the pub every single Sunday and spend 50 quid. Get a subscription you tight bugger!!

Got Sky, just not the additional ESPN subscription - yes, too tight to pay for that! Will actually be down in your neck of the woods (Falmouth) with work for the Villa game, recommend any pubs to watch it in?
