My wife is now on Weight Watchers, not drinking alcohol, and we have cats that will eat anything that smells nice. So that's chocolates, champagne and flowers that are out - hence, I have treated her to a lovely pot plant for the garden...
All the Palace fans I’ve ever spoken to - colleagues, random people in betting shops, etc - have always been decent people and enjoy chatting about the rivalry
Not a boot fair, but I went to a charity sale featuring various stalls in a hall in T/Wells, and i saw a big bundle of vintage porn mags for sale. Needless to say, I didn't buy it (as my wife was at another stall), but I'm sure someone had a ruddy good time in the name of charity.
No, I feel quite calm about it. Not in a 'I'm confident of a win' way, but I'm just not allowing myself to get stressed about it - just looking forward to a good game!
There was a bloke in front of me, just behind the North goal, that decided to play at being a statue whilst all around were loosing themselves when we scored. Literally did not move an inch, no emotion at all. He stayed until the end. I’m assuming he was French, and also surprised to see him stay.

I met him about 20 years ago at a stage door in London. He seemed to be quite wary of paparazzi, but when he approached the door from inside the theatre to get his post, I took my chance. Only me there, he was really nice, signed and had a photo with. Terribly young age to pass away.
