And So, All right, I was going to say quick reaction pods, but we're a day late. Partly because Wayne is back from a trip to Birmingham.

How was it?

Yeah, it was great.

I'm going to qualify this because I didn't go to Birmingham.

I went to Birmingham for the match, but in a roundabout way so my best mate was over from California

from from your side of the world and he spent 10 days over here and we saw a couple of games together.

Brilliant time.

He was over for Sheriff, Westam and Villa, and he got, he managed to get two tickets

for the Villa game.

It was a train strike and the guy he was traveling with they were the guy who got two tickets he tried to get me tickets I couldn't do that but being the good

dutiful friend I am I still took him down but I'm resigned to watching it on a stream anyway because of the fact that they didn't show it in the UK.

So I knew I was going to be watching on a stream and I thought I'd just find somewhere local to be able to watch it.

And I did. I did. I was able to do that. But I sampled everything else apart from the 90 minutes.

And considering the facts of the 90 minutes were probably the worst part of the away day

I think I probably got off lightly. I did sample some of the local delicacy for the first ever time.

I've been to Birmingham before, I've been to the Midlands before, don't get me wrong, it's the first time I've ever, I don't know why I had the curiosity for it, but I wanted to try battered chips and apparently they were a thing in the black country, not Birmingham.

And I was being corrected on this multiple times today

because I lumbered Birmingham in with it.

So I tried the batter chips.

I'm still probably going to need another three showers to get the grease completely out

on my system. But yeah, when in Rome you've got to do, you've got to partake,

having you. You need it really the batter chips and a bolty, no?
