@NWMYT That was my first ever away game - a 3-2 win too (though the WMP delayed our entry and I missed the first two City goals 😮).

My wife is from that place too - not related to that day. 😉

@agw1437 Fair enough - a common issue, and worth dealing with to reduce PeriOp cardiac risk.

@agw1437 @LeedsHospitals You’re absolutely correct.

Hope it goes as well as possible.

@agw1437 @LeedsHospitals Should surgery be appropriate I hope that happens soon (target is <36h after admission to hospital - interesting to see what is counted as admission).

@WhosThatGav That programme (song was the theme tune) was based around a Welsh couple getting married in Cardiff.

I lived around the corner from the wedding venue.

@josh_wats09123 Shouldn’t be this easy to spot me!

Had the same seat since the new stadium opened - only one of my 3 kids now comes along (occasionally)😞

Never seen the family stand so empty. 🫣

@TheStingisBack One of my favourite lines from a comedy film - “those aren’t pillows”!

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

John Candy died OTD in 1994.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
I still remember the roar of audience laughter during the pillows scene with Steve Martin. The attention to detail here is great. I only recently noticed the dirty palm prints either side of the painting. Glorious
