    Morning all!

    Sore head this morning. Celebrated the Stoke win a little too much :)
    Question is, do I come home for the final knowing I have no chance of getting a ticket.

    75,000 delta points (and $200ish) and 80,000 hilton points for 2 nights in the big smoke... decisions, decisions....

    It would be a no brainer but my better half is due to drop on June 12th and I'm scared junior will arrive while I'm away!!

    Oh, and it's $1.6315 :)

    Neil, the most important points are brownie points!

    You'll never make them up! Stoke will manage without you!

    It is a full month before junior is due though. I'm thinking I'll be ok. Watching the game yesterday was great. I was on my own so no one could see a grown man cry several times as the goals went in and the days stood on a cold terrace at Orient, Mansfield and such like seemed like a lifetime ago.
    I would watch the final with 3 or 4 friends over here but being home for the final would be special, very special!

    PS - 1.6268.

    Well congratulations!
    Yep. It's a girl. 7 1/2 weeks to go now!

    Blimey... 1.6566... I read somewhere that an "expert" had predicted the US$ was about to collapse... Might be true!
