So what. It's not our money! Small price to pay for the sheer feel good factor of it all.

Unfortunately Old Trafford today was a complete joke with massive queues to get bags searched. Took me an age to get through compared to Lords and the main Olympic site yesterday. I suspect it's one of the places the G4S fiasco is having a major impact

Anyway, back to BOO and Sunday is a rest day (phew!!)

Spoiler: So I'm heading over to Leeds to watch some cricket

(you think a football ground would be fairly geared up already , or people turning up as fro a norrmal footie game whilst other venues people were turning up earlier (we aimed to be at our venues 2hours before start time)

When my grandfather was sick we rubbed his back with lard. He went downhill really fast after that.
