By the strangest of coincidences, my housemate has started coming along with me to home games and used to be a Maple Leafs season ticket holder! She worked for Air Canada and one of the perks was a cheapy ticket at the Arena.

We'll be in the RBS tomorrow. She won't have any hockey shirt on but I might just have Red Wings jersey on - this is just about acceptable to her as Doug used to play for them! We usually go in the Shrimpers Bar but might just make a quick detour for the Spread beforehand now.

Welcome home...

Rush-hour on the M25, is nothing compared to the 45 minutes it takes me to travel to work each morning! I only live 6 miles away...

That piece of the M25 is the worst, Canada. Should have gone on the A406
