Fancy the day advertised on the WBA site Cliff Newcastle where you get to have lunch with Sir Bobby Robson? You'd need to take a few drinking lessons! Some colleagues of mine were at a function with him during the Euro tournament in Holland. Word his he could hardly stand very early in the morning and no-one has a clue how he came to add his expert advice to the commentary later in the day. Did you go Saturday? It was deserved but they sat back a bit after scoring I thought. My voice still hasn't recovered from one of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen.

Anybody got anything to say about THE UNDERTONES?

Does everyone know that a gig has been confirmed for September 26th in Letterkenny?

Yes, Dave, we heard whispers! Minibus is now being booked!! It's about 20 minutes from Derry to Letterkenny. JULIUS: I now have about 5 screenings confirmed in Holland for October.

are we still on for the chat room tonight at about10.30 tssy ps thanks for the bad jokes alex d

I hopefully have my video recorders working properly taping the galway video for Jackie as I type. If it works OK I wil do a tape for Derek after. I was planning one for Julius but presume that you have already sent one Wilke. Is there anyone expecting a tape who hasn't got one yet. I will get round to doing the DAF tape for you as well Donald.

George-ta! It might cheer me up. I see from the news that Washington is now going to have proper road signs rather than 'District 4' or 'District 15' I must admit that after driving round Washington for 20 years I still dont know my way round. For those who have never been (lucky you!) its based on Washington DC and consists of 'Highways' which contain no footpaths,roundabouts galore (all look alike) and lots of box like houses with very large numbers stenciled on them. And you think I'm joking. But George likes it! Actually the real George Washington came from there. I think. You can tell I've had a stressful day!

Anyone not living in the northeast will be very confused by that last post-sorry!

I have just sent a new list of screenings to those of you whose emails I had, please pass on to all concerned!! It includes DERBY, NORTHAMPTON etc this time as well as 5 in Holland!!
