I'm not a football fan but a friend of mine passed away last year who was from Leicester and a huge Leicester supporter. Everyone keeps making reference to the fact that they're sure he had something to do with this up in heaven or something - I'm not religious or anything but the whole thing has made me smile. I do wish he had gotten to see it, though!

Just amazing! I had so much work to get done before tomo, but couldn't not watch that second half!
What a performance this season! So well deserved! |

Plucky little Burton Albion are 1 point away from the Championship and back to back promotions. They only got promoted to the FL in 2009. My team will always and forever be Liverpool, but Burton have been a good back-up in our seasons of mediocrity and I go to a few matches now and again as my friends all support them and I can't afford the tickets and travel for Premier League prices! The true Brewers will want to lynch me though - I was dragged along in 09, gatecrashing the promotion party in Torquay and I'll be going to Doncaster next Sunday to gatecrash that one! ![]()

I'll be shocked if they finish top half next season but I doubt any fan of theirs could care less. Oh to be one of their fans tonight.
And to top off a great Monday, Dundee Utd got relegated from the SPL

Being from Dundee, and a Dundee fan, living through the highs and lows when United laughed at them, and now they are going down!!! And the fact its because its because a Dundee derby makes it even better! I'm a Dundee and Celtic fan though bbg, so we will disagree on that!

Last day of the football season today. Seeing the Burton fans in the party mood is a real kick in the gonads.
At least it's shorts and sunnies weather. 😎 |

Little Burton Albion did it!! Hotter than fire in that mobile oven called the coach! Non-league just 7 years ago and now in the Championship with a 7k capacity stadium!

Certainly was! The party mode had been activated before getting on the coaches I think, I thought I'd got lost on my way to comic con/Disneyland the amount of people that'd gone all out in the dressing up game.

Similar to what we were doing 10 years ago. I hope you sustain it better than we have though. |

I bet President Hollande gets sick of holding these bloody press conferences. Such a shame.

Talking of France..
![]() I came across a bonkers Paddy Power ad for the Euro 16 football tournament to be held in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLq340eDTCA "Paddy Power has spared no expense for the ad, with a host of big name Scottish celebrities lining up alongside Michelle McManus, including The Krankies, ex-footballers Frank McAvennie and Andy Goram, and even a cameo from the Loch Ness Monster."

I've found the perfect pet for you Foxy!
I'm not sure of the legality of actually owning a fox, but this just might be the next closest thing. It is cuteness off the scale and those eyes!https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinst...Q8Z#.acrVYQrR8 |

I've got my next two jaunts away booked! Would be grateful on tips/ recommendations if you've been to either.
I'm off to Ljubljana in September for a week and then Oslo (yes, I know I'm going to be bankrupted) in November (yes, I know I'm going to freeze to death) for three nights. |

Aww, I did think of you on my night shift last week as a fox was foraging the bins in one of our less salubrious market towns on CCTV

I had one wake the up last night at about 3am, have you ever heard one scream? It's the most terrifying sound to hear when you live in a former vicarage next to a chruchyard, it honestly sounds like a woman being murdered.

Oslo is super expensive nearly £7 for 300mls of beer, however if you are looking for a decent hotel I recommend City Box Oslo, its cheap and they have a large communal area with a fridge to store supermarket brought beer, the Vinmonopolet is ridiculously expensive over £30 for Smirnoff vodka so probably best getting some here before you leave. Frogner park for sight seeing and a trip up the opera house is worth the effort. one thing is you won't get a decent cup of coffee though or Kaffe as its called, probably the best one I had was in the burger king. Its probably worth getting an Oslo pass though
BiB - that's the hotel I'm looking at! I got my flights through Norwegian (dead cheap!) but have yet to book a hotel. |

Hey 21stC! If you've got any interest at all in history don't miss out on the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. To actually stand next to a pretty much complete Viking longboat is something else. Looking at it all you can think is...."You crossed the North Sea in things like that?!?!?"
![]() For stunning views across Oslo head for the Holmenkollen Ski Museum & Tower. Standing at the top looking down the slope isn't for the faint hearted though. Enjoy your trip.
