In a word, yes.

.....and the commentary was all in French which I suppose you'd expect in France but it was a recording and the guy never stopped for breath.

.....and the driver was Billy Connelly!

Also forgot to mention, I have a few spare 'programmes' from the game if anybody wants one.

What - Game On or La Programme Française ?

The same thing I gave you last year, a four page, A4 size thing. Bit of news, squad lists etc, all in French.

Put me down for one, then. Ta.

Will do.

I think the trip also showed the generosity of the Eagles supporters swapping various things such as baseball caps and a few youngsters walked away happily blowing kazoos.............those kids have probably been locked in their bedrooms since Saturday

If people wish to go next year who haven’t been before I suggest that we have a get together at a supporters meeting when next year’s fixtures are out and discuss the options available.

Without wanting to appear too boring there is indeed much more to Toulouse that the 23 hours 30 minutes a day partying if that’s not your thing. But for those who do then there are plenty of late night bars and cafes etc.

Good idea. Ill note it down.

As Hirsty and crew are on hols I have to confess I found my car radio tuned into Sheffield.

There was an interesting interview with woman about Brits abroad.

One interesting fact was that around 27,000 UK passports are lost or stolen each year, so we didn't do that bad

Well you can add Perpignan to the list of places that isn't as hot as Toulouse, it was also very windy. Kick off was put back to 20:40 to some reason, it was a good game which Crusaders edged 26-22 with a late try. Spoke to Jon Sharp before the game who, despite his Huddersfield connections, is a top bloke. It was the same carry on with tokens for beer, which was probably an intellectual step too far for the drunken Welsh people in attendance, who were nowhere near as loud as we were in Toulouse last week.

Think it was windy when we were there and peed it down en route from Barce.
It was still raining in the evening and we watched the Sky game inside a bar even though there were tellys outside.

They are both different in character - I think that Toulouse edges it as there is a lot more going off in the centre but would love a weekend in Perpignan with the Eagles.
