Likewise squire. See you on the stairs at ALFOS in December.

It was definitely one of those nights when I wished there were two of me so I could be upstairs and downstairs at the same time.

Not on FB, so no. Do give me a shout when you find out when the next one is.

I need to get along to one of those some day. Have a good one.

Is that tonight?

Used to love my local PMU in Toulouse. Met and chatted with loads of people. Improved my command of colloquial French no end.

I wasn't aware of these. But given I've been a couple of times and have no need to go back, I'll swerve in future.

Any suggestions as to what to put in the 'What would you like to see the former shop re-purposed as' section? It's a fair few years since I was in the pub and have zero memory of the surrounding area due to having been in the pub all afternoon, so would appreciate any pointers. Ta.

I watched from about halfway through the Australian innings and thought it was all over at the halfway stage despite India having pegged them back a bit towards the end. That batting performance was sensational, though.

Astonishing, wasn't it? What an incredible match.
