Such discipline is to be admired. One of my mates was locked in our toilet once. We were having such a good time, he had to break the window to escape, nobody missed him.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-2189478181637292692010-07-13T14:10:45.703+01:002010-07-13T14:10:45.703+01:00I stopped looking when Germany lost...I could care...I stopped looking when Germany lost...I could care less about 3rd place! <br /><br />WV=hytocra?Subbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969166266526522612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-43152140381320507432010-07-13T13:50:04.469+01:002010-07-13T13:50:04.469+01:00Ah, now if you only had a home video of the event!...Ah, now if you only had a home video of the event!

Both at the imagery of you being locked in a bathroom and being saved by a woman weilding a battle axe (my jaw dropped in astonishment at how cool that would have been to see) and at the fact that you were waiting to drink your beers for each goal, only to be met with a scoreless match for 115 minutes! Thanks for cheering my day by sharing these amusing stories. I know they should be met with sympathy, but I can't help but grin.Wild Celtichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839331422541811675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-9917441161520168912010-07-12T18:40:36.279+01:002010-07-12T18:40:36.279+01:00Hi Alan, I just included a link to this entertaini...Hi Alan, I just included a link to this entertaining post including my impressions of soccer.
