lapal_fan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I leave early, if I want. I tend not to if it's a close game, but if it gets to 90 mins and we're 2+/- then I'll skip extra time if I feel like the tempo has dropped. The 3-5 mins I leave earlier, will save me upwards of 15 minutes on my journey home to see my family. That's worth more to me, in those specific situations. If it's 0-0, we're winning 1-0 or we're pushing hard to get a goal at 0-1, I'll stay. It's a science Value _____ Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm going away in February, same place as I have done for the past god knows how many Februarys. Last year I waited to book my flights to get them cheap but I got stung and ended up paying through the nose. This year I set up a price alert and watched it go up to the price I paid last year. They went down 200zl (40 quid) so I pulled the trigger and I was actually pretty happy with myself. They've gone down another 300zl (60 quid). They're 494zl now which is around 100 quid. I know I couldn't have predicted it and I got them cheaper than last year but ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I like it when they give Gary Numan a go on the radio every once in a while and he gets an hour to talk about himself and play his own records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yes, I was using the non-standard definition of like. As in, the guy's a boring self serving nihilistic retread with bad taste in music, shit self serving anecdotes and poorly applied eyeliner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm from Sweden there's normally no problem for me to get in. Especially as I have a Lion's Club membership. But I think it's first and foremost for ST holders. But I don't think you need to book anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be a ST holder and it's first come first served I believe. Anytime I've tried to get in the queue has been too long to bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
