Tempted to have an all-Nuggets selection but settled for Blue Moon, Roadrunner and Green Tambourine.

No question - very different versions.

Not too sure about that Ed, the Barry Biggs version is a big favourite of mine, as are a few of his (e.g. Wide Awake In A Dream).
Not saying it’s ‘better’ - a big Evelyn fan too.

All these years of wrongly thinking it’s Indian Pale Ale and in reality it’s ‘Italian’!
‘Luppolo in fiore’: flowering hops…no idea but it’s fine to celebrate US Lecce’s towering 0-0 draw and numb the pain of a poor Toon performance on the south coast.

Mostly not being put in a cage (see pic) with the 40 away fans since there was a cock-up with my ticket!😮 my small amount of Italian served me well!
Interesting tho!

Half time report:

I’ll be honest, football championship level but really enjoying it. Lecce got a lot of possession but look vulnerable on the break.

Of course!
Disappointed I can’t get a hot Bovril but they do sell beer!

Off to the game today but not NUFC.
Getting the bus to the stadium with a Lecce Ultra. He goes in the Curva Nord where they wait outside until the gates are overwhelmed checking tickets and then push in for free - not a method of entrance for me given Hillsborough. I’m happy to pay £17 for Serie A!
