Can't remember who we played that day but it was April and we drew 0-0.

I assume he is there to keep your nipper in check??!

How do you like life there PWS?

A mate of mine was there for  two year stint a decade ago and managed to clear his mortgage in that time, but he said that social life was limited because of the danger. He also had to contend with dozens of requests on a daily basis for "tea money"

just seen this Pat. life here is good. Lagos is very hectic. Its not so much the danger because we live on the islands which are okay - it would take a good couple of hours to get to the mainland so sod that.

Which part? We lived by the Little Brown Jug for a while and went to St Chads before Great Barr beckoned

Can't picture the Little Brown jug but not far from six ways - Alma Way to be exact. Which St Chads did you go to? I went to the infant and Jnr school.

We went to said school for a while too, but only one school year in the juniors.

We lived in Rea Tower on Mossborough Crescent just off New John St West , so a five minute walk to school
