Excellent!
It is an honour to welcome guests from across the big pond
And to welcome the Grand Heretic himself in the (former?) cathedral of Nuffle

Heh heh.. been looking at flights, found the following text which amused me:

"Picturesque canals form a girdle around the oldest parts of Amsterdam and encompass the cityâ€™s notorious Red Light District. Here tourists stroll over ancient bridges and down the narrow lanes where the aroma of cannabis pervades the air, and at night the streets are lit up by the crimson glow of windows from which prostitutes beckon passers-by."

That post was a good reminder that I'd not booked my flight yet!

So English (and Scottish) chappies; has there been any progress on the apartment front as of yet?

I'm going over on the Thursday so will probably need seperate accomodation for one night at least anyway.

Also, I assume the bar we are playing in is ok for Steeler-Bowl as well? Or will we be watching at a seperate bar?

Cheers

Richard

We're not playing in a bar. I assume you are refering to the super-bowl? That will be watched elsewhere. More news will follow as soon as we have found out on which channels it will be broadcasted.
Waseem (the new owner of the Legendz) is slowly warming to the idea that a lot of BB-ers will show up during the weekend, we have not yet mentioned the super-bowl or the expected behaviour of the English contigent

Hmmm, yeah don't

given how dead "Legendz" is these days I think he will be glad of the custom no matter how lewd and drunken the behaviour...

it might help if he actually tried to do something with the place.. like decorate it... or turn the fecking heating on!

Joris, the one thing your web site could do with is an option to state you dont know what team your taking yet! I am listed as Amazon but I wont be using them, they just happen to be top of the list.

Anyone seen any good flights from the UK per chance? Im going Friday and back on the monday...anyone else?

Yavatol · Post by **Yavatol** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 2:04 pm

Good point. I forwarded that remark to the site admin. But I'm not applying any thumbscrews, so lets hope he will adjust it. Otherwise the only thing that suffer is the prognosis of which teams will appear, about which I am not to concerned.

well.. tell him that last year all of the beer got drunken that was in the whole pub.. that should give him a warm fuzzy feeling.. if he is at least a bit of a business man

Also be sure to add that he'd better not have any sambuca in the bar, or failing that, a really good fire insurance.
