Yes, the wife and her "Tesco Voucher" weeks away......., usually to places where the nearest phone mast is probably in Chelmsford. No reception. Lets me log in for a split second......., then "No Service" for three hours!
Very enjoyable weekends....., did you know you cant put the word "c**t" down on a scrabble board without the missus going mental?

Apologies to Saint and everyone else taking part for the chit chat. I'm bad for that.

The answer could feasibly be the Reebok Arena also ?
(Must be awkward for clubs when they have to change their stadium name to keep up with team sponsorship)

Re: Where is that venue

You're not supposed to cheat damn it, or use referencelucy wrote:It's called Google
Sorry and you're not alone in this, but the purpose of these things is to use your own knowledge - not other peoples
I'd ask that no further instances of this are seen again - please do not use searches if you do not know the answer, it spoils it for other participants and it's not really deserving of another attempt.
Edit sorry Mark I hadn't seen your response after, but the fact remains, don't like it when these things occur
We'll allow Lucy to continue

Don't remember him saying at the start using your brain power only.
I was right just looked at the start of this thread and it does not say you cannot use aunty Google for help.
