Some people, especially if they don't get a lot of time away from work, see as much as they can when they are on holiday, as quickly as they can, taking lots of photographs, and then when they return home, they build a photograph album, and then they can relive their holiday at a more relaxed speed....

I now have a big smile on my face!

Hi Frank, I hope you and Cornelius make it to Athens, it would great to see you! I have never been to Athens before - but the Stanley Hotel where we are playing Kick Off 2 is only 2km north of the Parthenon, and lots more... After enjoying the World Cup in Bremen I will keep a lookout for a German c...

Great news Steve! Yep will be a bit of a change for me too, furthest from home I've been since 2019 was Kent.

Yes, Standard Room, thanks for the booking code. First time in Greece so I might get the M3 to Monastiraki to have a look at the Temple of Hephaestos before a walk to the hotel for check in.

Thanks Alkis. Flights booked, touching down Friday 13:10. and taking off Sunday 21:15. Hotel booked and I have registered on the official site. All very exciting!

Buongiorno Pietro! We do have friends from Italy on this forum, from Milano, Siena, and Cagliari at least. It's been a quiet year because of the pandemic, and sadly it was necessary to cancel the World Cup in Athens, but hopefully we will be back to normal later this year. Maybe we will even meet in...

That's no surprise, I hope I can join you all for a World Cup in Greece another year.

Hey all, I hope this isn't a surprise given the ongoing pandemic but I think I'd best formally postpone this from 6 June. I'd still like to host a tournament in a few months, depending on circumstances, although I don't want to clash with the World Cup which I hope will still be able to go ahead. Ch...

Hey all, hope you and those you know are all keeping well, particularly John and Jorn. Good work with the horn and finger Steve, sounds like you had influenza which can be as bad as covid. I work on national health statistics and I had to work a 60-hour week for the first time at the start of the mo...
