Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all on this cloudy day here in Hyvinkää .I hope all had a great kip and are ready for the new day ,who is watching tonigh ? I intended to take an international membership so I could watch the preseason games but when I started it became obvious they wanted another 8.99 to post some stuff over ! What and why would I want superflous tat .So it looks like it will be on a game to game basis and I will have to forego the pleasure of "exclusive footage of their training and interviews with players whose favourite internet game is ludo ".Rant over ,have a great day all.
 
Standish was a nice place once

Just a concrete jungle now with long rows of traffic to contend with
To be fair it’s still nicer than a lot of places. Sadly, over development, lack of supporting infrastructure eg GP surgeries, dentists, and roads that just can’t cope with an influx of two car homes has created the current situation. The new bypass should help with the traffic problem when it’s finally completed albeit at the expense of lovely green space. There are now a few decent places to eat and drink though.
I don’t live in Standish by the way but near enough to enjoy the good bits eg new leisure centre/gym, nice eating places and a few decent independent shops - oh and a Galloways (you can take the girl out of Wigan ..etc etc)

Yes I’ll be watching and have also got my tickets for the Bolton and Wigan games. Have a great day in Finland 😊

Not been to Standish for a while but always quite liked it. Is the Owls still going? When I had an office in Skelmersdale we used to take the staff to Henry Africa's for Xmas parties but I know that closed ages ago
 

Fred tells me that he doesn't eat chips.......unless it's treacle tamarind fries! My word they were fantastic.
That's not quite true Jazz. I have on occasion been known to partake in the odd chip. One of those is whilst enjoying fish and chips at the Ferryboat, the establishment that Blue was referring to.

Those tamarind fries were delicious though.

Just had a distinctly average sausage butty and coffee at Dublin Airport. 13 euros. Think I'll skip lunch🙂

Yes the Owls is still going - the road down to there is where most of the new developments are. Henry Africas 😂. OMG I have been there a time or two and Cassinellis across the road. The site of Henry Africas is now The Charnley Arms and a premier inn. I used to work on Community in Skelmersdale- the days when you had to drive round with an A to Z propped up on your steering wheel. I once set off to do a home visit and never found it 😂
 
By the way , what is it about alcohol that makes you so hungry?
After a delicious Indian in Mowgli and a few glasses of vino , hic , in Queens Arcade my homing pigeon instincts got me home safely where Mrs J made me a couple of burgers which I wolfed down!
Did you sit on a swing in Mowglis? I always thought it would make you feel a bit sick eating on a moving seat.

Good luck to Fred today doing him inpersonation of Tom Hanks in Terminal. 7 hours in Dublin Airport, that takes some doing!
