So I was born a stone's throw from Highbury, the Arsenal home ground in London, and have followed them all my life. I have held a season ticket for decades, and go to games whenever I'm in London (niece gets the ticket the rest of the time).
I find myself in the very strange position of hoping that Spurs do well under Big Ange next season.
Random morning musings while reading The Guardian.
Do you know where I was born? P.A.N.C.H. panel beaters. There's now some lovely apartments there. Every time I pass Bell st I think "I took my first breath there".
my wife was born on the site of what is now peter mac. we make a lot of "its not a tumour " jokes.
Which one, the original site? I can't remember much about the outside only the side street but the inside is etched in my memory forever. It was like a maze in there. Many many green chairs.
Edit: OK I just re-read your comment. My apologies. I'm just a little slow today.
Dunstaffnage no longer exists, but there's an aged care centre at the site now. Fuckers got me coming and going
My kinder is now also an aged day care now. I hope they found the poo Michael did in the sandbox before letting the grannies loose in it.
