Looks like I will be visiting in November, so first things first - are "The Arse" playing at home on the weekend of the 15th or the 29th, and what is the availability of tickets like oh mates, buddies, pals .
Failing that, if I get to London I have to have a drink with Charlie (seeing as he won't come within 4000 km of me here in Australia I'll have to track him down overe there [img]smile.gif[/img] - I am looking forward to meeting you buddy), and catch up with "Chainsaw Nige" . I have an inkling I might be benefitting from a few Senior Engineers leaving the company of late - the brain drain may be the real reason behind last month's unexpected pay rise and now the prospect of another overseas trip beckons. I got told today to make time in the leave schedule so that my absence for 2 weeks could be covered. This time the review will be at the San Ciprian refinery in Spain.

Davros - I've got good news and bad news. Arsenal are at home on the 8th and the 30th and away to Birmingham on the 22nd. There is no game on the 15th. The good news is that you could join me on the 22nd to watch England v New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup Final.

Sorry Donut, I will have to pass on the World Cup Final I am afraid (much as I would have enjoyed being in the same bar as you to watch the mighty Wallabies crapping on your Roses and having me burst into a rendition of "Too slow - meek chariots". Alas I will still be in Spain that weekend, no doubt furiously working through the weekend. My best bet of going to a football game might be if I can get tickets to Deportivo on that weekend.
Darn - no home games on the Saturdays I needed - tell the FA that is mighty inconsiderate of them - I doubt that the company they will be happy to let me stay as late as the 30th unless the boss smiles on the concept of letting someone else do the month end production numbers. Saturday night will probably be the latest they would let me stay, but I will certainly push to see if it is possible to leave as late as Sunday or Monday. Leave coverage should not be an issue - just that darned month end duty stuff. Much bargaining with the boss over leave and timetable in the next week or two methinks.

[/QUOTE]I had my hopes up for a minute when I saw a website that had the home game against Fulham listed on Sat the 29th, but checking with the official Arsenal website confirmed your info that it is on the 30th . Pity they aren't sending me to Spain a week earlier - that home game aginst "The Scum" on the 8th could have been special .
