hoping to be in a celebratory drunken stupor by this time next week

And whereabouts unknown but presumably at the bottom of his VERY deep pockets.

Theres no way they would give a licence to the team at the bottom of the table is there.

So people kept telling us for some bizarre reason!

6 days left! Jesus. I've been in queues longer than that!

How's this for a scenario

ONLY SIX MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!! HEAD IMPLOSION IMMINENT!

Just you wait until Monday, it will be madness on here absolute madness.

I’m becoming more and more confident by the day

Have you got the day booked of yet?

I did have, but we are as busy as feck at the moment and struggling. A colleague of mine needs those days off, in order to pick his son up from HMS Cumberland when it arrives back in Britain. He needs me to give up those days so I can cover him. Under those circumstances, I have agreed. It all depends on whether the ship needs to stay off Libya, waiting for Gadaffi Duck to be over-thrown. I should know early next week.
