When I lived in London I did day trips to Europe quite a few times. Proximity to airports and cheap flights made it very easy and affordable as it tends to be accommodation that's expensive. It was often cheaper than visiting somewhere in England for the day.
Milan was always good, could leave my house at 6 and be in the city for brunch. AC Milan tickets were cheap as well, not sure what its like now.
Done nights out in Dublin in a similar way before with friends, fly about 9am, be on the p1ss by 11:30 and get a 6am flight back on the Sunday. Didn't bother booking accommodation, just straight to the airport from the club via a kebab shop. |

I remember when that FT article came out and was peddled as some sort of 'gotcha' moment, it is and it isn't. He's quite clearly embellished his success, and the most pertinent point in that article is that he would never know how profitable other traders at Citibank were globally, so its almost certainly a baseless claim. Its important to hold people to account when they spout stuff like that don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure it really detracts from a lot of what he says. Ultimately he shares his opinion, he's attempted to build credibility and an audience based on exaggerated career claims, in hindsight perhaps unnecessarily bullish and inflated. I've no doubt he's an intelligent guy who has done very well for himself though, and he articulates his views well. I can't help but think had he been a bit more realistic of his successes it still would've served the same purpose for him. Or maybe the soundbite has helped him 'cut through', who knows.
I think he has to be taken for what it is. Even if his claims of being Citi's most profitable trader were true, it doesn't change a great deal and wouldn't guarantee what they're saying is necessarily accurate or would transpire. He's offering his opinion, its up to people listening to form their own conclusions. |

They are, and cars don't do well when they're not driven regularly, but mine is on lease and I already exceed the permitted annual mileage without football. |

And not putting 500 miles on your clock.
3 of us go away together, we normally drive or part drive for London games. Probably do about 10 this season and take it in turns, driver just pays and generally find it evens itself out over the course of the season. Its not the petrol money I'm bothered about (helps that my car is electric) but the miles. I got stitched up in our promotion season, the way it fell I got Preston and Plymouth about a month apart. Well over 1,000 miles.
Blackburn and I think Leicester will be my 2 turns this side of Christmas. |

Yeah, we're leaving BSE at 8am so hopefully get there with plenty of time for some lunch before the game. Its my turn to drive unfortunately. Home by 10pm with a stop I would hope. |

Also had the conditions to do it, finding him early on the counter attack, with others making intelligent runs to create him space. Rather than facing up against 10 men parked inside their own box like we saw at Preston and against Derby. |

There's an element of that, Philogene was cooking and on his day he's too good for this level. It was a perfect storm of both being true I think, the 1st was far too soft and Godfrey wasn't tight enough, there was already a warning sign a few minutes earlier that Cooper saved. similar for the 3rd albeit harder to stop when Billy can go both ways and punish teams like that. 5th was just dreadful, Clarke had no right to do him so easily.
2nd a bit unlucky to be fair, he shows him inside and Matos steps across him.
Godfrey's getting binned after that performance for me though, nowhere near good enough but certainly still a huge amount of credit to Philogene for punishing that. |

Yeah, very frustrating. Could've made a difference in those opening couple of games and left on a high rather than under the cloud he did. Feels very short sighted as well, while bridges aren't totally burned perhaps it does makes a return here a bit harder to do 1 day, and there's a finite amount of clubs in this country he'll ever likely play for.
I'll never respect the way that was handled tbh, but its done now. |

I don't think I've ever seen anyone with the same fridge as me. |

I think that's the way forward, I'm not buying any more.
Maybe my fault for buying cheap but when I consider what I've spent on printers and cartridges relative to what I actually print I'm probably averaging somewhere in the region of £5 per page in the past 10 years. |
