Stokie thicko here. Apparently a notorious Stoke "firm" has been operating recently, and according to reliable "sources", its sickening activities include:
BUYING balsamic vinegar and sun dried tomatoes - in Waitrose!
Routinely and voluntarily WATCHING "highbrow" channels like BBC4 - especially the dumbed down stuff on the expanding universe.
DRINKING moderately priced but agreeable NZ white wine - in a responsible way!
HAVING measured conversations about local secondary schools
COMPARING the merits of Lois off Family Guy, and Atlanta off Stingray.
As for the game, I am certain (a) that you will win, although the odds Peter Coates is giving look slightly skewed to me - as if an 18/19 year old in the office has put in the computer that it's a home game for you; and (b) that for the vast majority of fans on both sides it'll be fine.
