Palladium by Night

By this time of the day, I was well & truly besotted. Marita Beth had done her fair share of shopping while I did my share of ale-drinking during the day; then we went to the theatre. The Palladium theatre was showing the final run of the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and we went. Of course, what's a theatre-event without a Manhattan or five, right? So, by the time this photo was taken I was a little bleary-eyed. Truth told, I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did. Our trip to the U.K. was nearly over & I was making every last minute count. Arsenal played Tottenh*m on the weekend and pulled a draw out of their arse at the near-death of the match. Apparently, and I've not seen the match yet, the Tottenham goal was a bit controversial and both sides are screaming for apologies. But in the end, it's our own damn fault that we have to fight so hard for fourth place. Now, all eyes have to look forward to tomorrow's game against Villareal. We take a 1-0 advantage to their home. Unfortunately we do it without Senderos who suffered a knee injury against the Sp*rs. So, we're likely going to have to suffer Sol's presence in the back-four since we have to play a heavily-defensive game. Even the concession of one goal is not advisable in this game. So, come on the boys & let's make it 10 straight clean-sheets in a row. Yah! Wastrel On! (Listening to: Vigo Bay by Minotaur Shock)
