I met one of the children he rescued when in my teens - the wonderful Milena Grenfell-Baines. As the generation that lived through the holocaust slowly passes into memory, I consider it our duty as the next generation to keep that memory alive. Never again is now.

Grok eventually found an account called onetallteen which claimed to have been a passenger on the train. Last night that account posted, then quickly deleted, an obviously AI generated image of a train ticket as proof. If it weren’t so grim it would be fucking hilarious.

You’d be amazed* how many England fans at home games, particularly friendlies, scan in then walk straight out just to get loyalty points for future matches.**
* You wouldn’t be amazed.
** Not me just in case anyone in authority at the England Supporters Travel Club follows Neil on here.

I love it when you get a generic reference to “meat” on the English menu. I remember ordering “meat plate” in Kiev during Euro 2012. I say “remember” - the quadruple measures of premium standard Russian vodka caused significant memory leakage.

A mate of mine stood for the local council. Swears blind that the returning officer ruled that the fact that the jizz from a drawing of a spunking cock landed in the box (ooer missus) of one candidate was a valid vote for them.

I was at that game - and bizarrely ended up driving to St Helens straight after. I go to the Little Taperia a couple of times a year. Last time was in June celebrating end of exams. Excellent stuff.

Not like 6 years ago in Sofia when we were on our way back to our hotel after the infamous 0-6 game. Genuinely intending to call it quits when we heard Robbie Williams’ Angels blaring out from a nightclub above a shopping precinct. 5am finish as I recall.

There was some event going on with local music at a bar between the hotel and the restaurant we’d been at earlier. But having had a 5.45 alarm to fly from Zagreb to Belgrade that morning, middle age and sense took over.

Don’t blame you! We got lucky in the second chance sale. Credit to the FA and Serbian authorities - buses from the city centre to the ground and back meant it was safe as houses. Though most places were closed when we got back so we attacked the minibar in our hotel.
