That's it until the new season, going to leave you all to discuss the "ins" and "outs" and I am getting the hell away to Sicily for AGES!! Hope Floors is back next season with his dry humour and I hope you all have an immense summer because I'm going to have an absolute flippin ball. All the very best to you all, cheerio for noo.

Happy and well deserved holidays, Marko - sure you'll have a great time in lovely Sciliy. Ice cream and Peroni diet is highly recommended! I think we're headin' there later in the year - just research purposes.

Thanks for running the cation comp - good clean (mostly!) fun. :D

He's probably on the police most wanted list, hence why he has fled the country :D

It'll be the Sevco Rangers board who'll be running for the hills.

And no, still very much in Edinburgh but busy closing down a couple of job sites before heading to the "Sunshine on Sicily" with the Mrs and few friends and family. Really looking forward to it, although the Hibs have made my summer before it's even started.

But this news just in:

Official announcement from Hibs FC:
"An investigation into the full time events at Hampden park on 21/5/2016 has taken place. It has been concluded that The Rangers FC were pumped 3-2 and Hibernian FC won the Scottish Cup."

Get it right up ye!

Ah, I'll unfortunately be well home again by September, buddy. What part do you go to? We do the train trip direct from Edinburgh. Paris - Milan overnight sleeper. Day in Milan, then Milan to Rome overnight sleeper. Day in Rome. Then Rome - Messina, (train boards ferry) then down to Taormina. Sounds like a hassle but it's a great adventure. Then we fly back from Catania to Edinburgh. We did do the train back to Edinburgh one year, but you need a holiday again by the time you get back! :D But we love Taormina. Little place called Castelmola is also an eye opener. Mount Etna is close by and if it's relatively settled, a trip up there is always good. Don't know what it is about Sicily, but it's just superb and unique. And the wife speaks fluent Italian as she once lived there, so that helps! :D

Sounds like a hell of a trip. Bit more relaxed for us quick flight from Bologna and a tour of the island. Thanks for your recommendation on Castelmola. We are hoping to do the night walk up Stromboli but sadly it sounds like there isn't much activity there, Etna for sure and Taormina is on the list too. Then off to Montenegro for another wedding.
Have a great trip, you'll be there for the unmissable sounding couscous festival :-P

Google Castelmola before going........, it's weird! :lol: The town of "fertility"......., everywhere you look there are phallic objects. Walked in to what turned out to be the only pub, and there was a wooden pole above our heads. We did wonder why it was there. When we got inside the pub and looked back at the doorway, it was a massive peNi$ on a wooden statue! :lol: Hilarious!
Just warning you in case the Mrs hasn't got a sense of humour......., me and my mrs were laughing our asses off the entire time.

Every time you entered, you were in the top 5 scores....... But you missed weeks here and there. It was mentioned that if you'd have entered more, you could've challenged the title. Understand work etc though.

Enjoy your break Marko, I'm sure it is very well deserved. With Hibs triumph followed by this trip you are in for a good summer.

Thanks for the Caption Comp: I still think my 'Swallow It Bitch' caption should have been a winner!

Enjoy yourself.

Work tends to get in the way of fun...still waiting for my British roots to reveal some sort of regal fortune haha...not holding my breath!

Enjoy your holiday...have the octopus!

Didn't want to admit this but the final week was very very close. One buddy scored Ando quite high and that's what swung it.

And yes, Barmy......., the Delia "swallow it bitch" was very memorable! I'll keep a list of the top scorers next season and award the "caption of the year" award. Probably add 5 points on to that persons score. Might make it more interesting. Probably safe to say you won it with that Delia quote. :lol:
