Spent a good 20 minutes looking at Porto and couldn't find where the photo was taken from! Fair play!

Gotta be the Connacht manager Pat Lam moving there that has you all in a flutter, yeah?

Just when we start getting things right and developing the rug gets pulled out.
And of course it had to be a gimp of a Leinster fan that came running to tell me yesterday.
Now the likes of Leinster will be sniffing around trying to poach the best players as per the norm.

Just as an aside..... does anyone else find themselves watching TV or a film and thinking "That's a big church, and I can see the river in the background......." *opens Google Maps and finds the exact spot*

Just me?

is that building somewhat noteworthy? It seems like a very difficult location to determine!

It is a tough one I will admit but I would say anyone who has been there should be able to identify it.

I didnt say it wasn't. Hence the confession. Shoot me. I could only go by a very indistinguishable photo. We were given the clue Italy, more or less so I worked from there. Most of time search for google image doesnt work at all for google street view so its not as if I have opened a can of worms!

Anyway, here are the "rules". I dont think I broke any of them! But in case I did, I will gladly forfeit my win and pass on the honours to you to post the next photo!!

I'll let you away with it this time but Santa will be informed if you do it again. Post a pic and get things rolling.

You can have the go! If not, I will stick one up when I get the chance in a while! And I promise I will never use google again to help me in a game! I will stick on my hiking boots in future!!
