Martino my friend,

Lets be frank shoud we? Kyle, Tommy and I are coming to your house. You and Kyle and Tommy can share a sleeping bag on the floor. But I get your bed. But don't worry, your girlfriend doesn't have to be in the bed, unless she wants to, of course.

NO SLEEP 'TIL FRANKFURT!!!!!

MMMMM Gold I love you.

also I'm thinking no girlfriends or wives allowed. the only girls we will need will be the ones we meet there. I'll be in the gold section. Brasil and Sweden.

patience

so you say yous is staying at my place. fine with me and in accordance to a pending invitation anyway.

i no longer have a house -- since separation that is where the wife stays -- and my digs are cozy but it will be open digs.

i also have a second apartment but that is currently being subletted to my dear old school chum micky. yes, i am talking about that place i offered to anybody at paxacidus for 200 dollars a month. rent is cheap in germany. micky says guests are welcome, he is a good guy true to his word.

i should put these posts under separate headers. one day i will. in the mean time hold your horses, i only just got started, i have a business to run too you know.

japanese business partners are asking me, in typical modesty, to get tickets for the three last games. fuckinell, that's how i always saw myself ending -- a scalper in all but name.

but without talent to be a scalper. how the hell get the tickets?

The last three games? FOOKIN HELL. Yeah no problem. Do they have a million dollars? They probably think you are connected to a huge corporation. That's how you get tickets. You fuck the great grand daughter of the head of BMW.

I have some connections and might get to see France play. For me free, but street price $5,000. BMW!

Right then. What week are we looking at? I am not able to take off at short notice due to the kids. Money is not the problem. Mrs Tommy is globe hopping at the moment and is racking up the business class miles. I could probably fly in for free. The logisticts are sticky. I don't really care about getting into the games. I went to the world cup in 94 here in the US. Also, English football fans are morons and I would hate to be confused for one. I would really like to get an insiders guide to the town though. Having said that it is my belief that England will win the final 27 - 0 against Argentina.

I for one would like to see some games. Why not at least see one American game, right? They are probably the easiest country to see, no? I remember even when they made the third round last time there was like no one there.

tommy is

Who invited the Sloth?

Just kidding. Kyle is coming it will be a blast! We went out last night with Tony Fletcher for a few and the more we talked about the round ball competition the more excited I got.

Martino...What kind of beer do they drink in Frankfurt? And don't say German dumb ass! Gulp.

when i get my thang in order and my balls in shape i will start new threads in this forum, including

tickets
the teams
the games
drinking, etc. in germany
people and sex
towns
misc. (in which everything else can be included, unless something is deemed by you folks to be as important as the other topics)

i think that sounds logical, and since life is all about logic, don't dare contradict.
