My brother was about 200 yards away when to bomb went off, took hours to get the message out that he was ok.

Times like that make you realise how much you care for someone. Same when my girl was looked in during the Westminster Bridge attack. The waiting is agonising.
Yes keefy you can see why anxiety and depression claims have tripled since 2019.

I surfaced next to half a dog in Bali.

It was also in Bali where one year after the bombing I was at the airport and there was a large red suitcase left unattended. Everyone asking each other whether it was theirs. Went to alert security and they asked me to bring the big red suitcase to them. Er, no mate.
No Defence, not talking about AFC Wimbledon!

a4e - if someone gave me an all expenses paid trip back to go back to Bali, I would probably say no thanks. I have seen one or two programmes recently showing how bad tourism has made it and it will never have the innocence I remember.

We were invited into a traditional Balinese house back then. Also, to the funeral of the Queen of one of the "kingdoms" and that of her sister at the same time. Quite an experience
*mind you, someone did nick my best tee shirts off the washing line in the courtyard of the place where we stayed in Bali, so that was annoying….

Kite - I’m sure you’ll love it!! Surrey Bob - it’s so much more developed now than it was back then, Kuta seems to be like the costas now, whereas I remember it as basically a village with home lodges and bars, albeit full of Aussies as it was cheaper for them to fly to Bali for a lovely holiday than to go to the Gold Coast. I’d love to go to Ubud again - it still looks gorgeous!!

No excuse REPD, your mother being there, even if in labour, would have counted

CW once had a go at me for missing Dartford in the 1975 London Senior Cup, despite me not being born for another 5 hours after the full time whistle...

Baku, Azerbaijan. It's quite wealthy.
SB-you missed Preston away to go to Bali? Shame on you 😀

CW - yes, I spent a little while there and also in Darwin just before embarking on the Asia overland bit of my trip… So incredibly humid…

Remember being in Brisbane watching torrential rain fall then half an hour later the streets were dry very bizarre tropical weather

nervo - the attenuation tanks must be huge…. I bet that’s not the only game that’ll be delayed because of thunderstorms - anyone who’s ever been to America in the summer (especially Florida and other southern states) will almost certainly have experienced the convectional rainfall, it can be spectacular. I recall being in Bali for a while in 1982, and every day at around 2pm the shops/stalls would all close up just before a torrential 1 hour or so long downpour, after which they’d all open up again whilst the gutters took all of the surface water away within minutes. Amazing days - backpacking across south east Asia for a few months with no mobile phone or satnav or anything - just paper tickets and an occasional pay phone…

To be fair, that stadium had amazing drainage, Laurence.

Where was the England match that was postponed for 24 hours. Poland?
Hash, you should invite my brother round. Last time he looked after my cat when I was away pursuing the high life, there were loads of £1 coins in my sofa, presumably after he adopted a horizontal position. Went toward my next trip

Nervo - think that is excellent where it rarely rains. Ooops and haha. Did you see the pictures of the pitch with lying water?

delayed kick off, meant I saw second half, when I got home - thank you rain!
