jimbaxters Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Last day of the school year with the kids on Friday which is always a riot but I'm changing jobs so will be a fond farewell to them. Might be a wee bit sad so having the game to look forward to is a very welcome distraction. In Como there is a pub where for some reason the owner is Italian but a mad Rangers fan. Scarves and strips hanging about the bar etc. Managed to book a table right in front of the big screen for Friday night so it will probably be humiliation in a very public way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday's only the 14th...last Friday on June should be mandatory ! Christmas and school summer holidays get earlier every year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas and school summer holidays get earlier every year. Worst part is mine is a private school, the public ones finished last Friday and they all start up again in the first week in September! It's the poor grannies and grandpas I feel sorry for. Edited June 10 by jimbaxters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as every year. For no apparent reason Dumfries schools finish up on Monday 1st July this year. God knows how many kids are going to show up on that extra Monday! I'm hectic at work at the moment so this week, and next, will take care of itself. As long as I get finished up in time to see the games on Friday and Wednesday on telly! Off to Stuttgart for game 3 a week on Friday. Hopefully we're still right in the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full week of work for me and fully expecting to be thoroughly distracted. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last day of work week for me then off for 2 and a half weeks. Can. Not. Wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
