Had a great 2 day break from work – apart from having this head cold…oh well, at least I got to see how good a nurse Marina can be 😉 (I’m fairly sure that a temperature shouldn’t be taken the way she did though – nor quite as often…)

And no, there are no pics 🙂

Oh yes, I forgot to mention: It’s far easier for me to travel to London by train – a Travelcard gets me there and I can use the public transport (which is VERY good in and around London) all for the price of £21 – bargain!

So Marina met me at Finsbury Park – last stop before Kings Cross. Now you may not know this, but Finsbury Park is just down the road from the ‘rubbish dump’ (aka ‘The Emirates’ – Arsenal’s stadium), and as such, is a bit of an Arsenal area.

So, we meet and she suggests having a quick drink. Off we toddle to a (from the outside) lovely looking pub, where I wander to the bar and get the drinks in.

I settle into my seat with a weary sigh (poetic license FTW!), sip my pint and glance at the wall…*COUGH, SPLUTTER*

“What’s up baby?” she asks worriedly…

Unable to speak – I point to the wall, where a large Arsenal flag is hanging.

“YOU BOUGHT ME INTO A BLOODY GOONER PUB!”

And that dear readers, is the first (and hopefully last) time I ever leave a full pint. We then drove to Tottenham where I relaxed in a PROPER pub 🙂

And to think – I WAS going to wear my t shirt emblazoned with ‘YID ARMY’…I really wish I had now – do you think I’d have got served in the first place?
