Oktoberfest Offically Starts

Today the Munich Octoberfest got underway, and in under seven days we will be sampling the atmoshpere of the worlds largest beer festival. Unfortunately we haven't been able to secure any reservations, through no lack of trying believe you me, but fortune favours the brave, and much beer will be drunk, whatever the outcome. For those of you with memories like sieves, we fly from Leeds/Bradford at 9:55 Friday morning, and arrive back well lubricated on Monday the first of October at 16:45. For all the sheep worriers of Wilsden, Crespo is organising transport, myself and The Boy will see you at the airport. Anyone who wishes to checkout the official website click http://www.oktoberfest.de/en/02/. I have also found this site, http://gogermany.about.com/od/oktoberfest/tp/topoktober.htm which gives hints and tips on what to expect when we are there. You may be wondering why there is a posting at this time on the weekend. Well I felt my training program was completed last week, and I am skint(all my brass is being put a side in preparation for next week). So I have poured a Polish vodka, flavoured by a herb favoured by the mighty European Bison(?), given as a tip by a grateful Polish geezer whose T.V. I fixed. He suggested to mix it with a touch of apple juice, and I must say it is very nice. Whilst we are in Munchen, we hoped to catch a Bayern game, but unfortunately they are out of town, so if anyone wants to go catch a game it will be TSV 1860 Munchen, Germanys equivalent to Man City, versus Koblenz, on Sunday at 14:00. I am up for it, as it will do us good to get off the sauce for a couple of hours. You can visit the clubs offical website at http://www.tsv1860.de/?id=7746, it is in German, but has a proper gay Euro tune when you click on it, so turn on your speakers. Till Friday, Auf Wiedersein.
