I recommend Bravo Two Zero. You can usually get through that in an afternoon.

I didn't mean in the car.

I was just gonna say you're a decent bloke, your missus clearly loves you to bits to put up with you all this time, and you should be proud of how much time you spend on this message board despite your technological deficiencies. Keep your chin up fella x

It's a joke Brian.

What I've done is used one definition of the word 'lift' - helping someone get from one place to another - then pretended I meant a different definition of the word 'lift' - raising someone's spirits by saying some nice things to/about them - for comedic effect.

I apologise for any offence caused.

When it comes to boardin' comedy, take it from the expert, it's best to keep things basic and just stick to what works: Two copies of Panda!

About the same distance as Leyton Tube is to us. So for me that’s slow.

What's the parking like there?

Vaguely recall parking at the ground when we went there god knows how many years ago in the cup. Is there anything on street or is it all industrial park around there?

Plenty of car parking at the stadium but there's residential streets within walking distance where you can park across somebody's drive.

If it's Beradogs' drive you'll need to just duck when the 9-iron comes flying towards your head. But other than that you should be fine.

Which direction from the ground?

If I can save a few pounds and piss someone off at the same time, I’m in.

I think it's unlikely while they still have a chance of climbing out of the relegation places and have a suspended 3pt deduction hanging over them if there's more disruption.
