Lorry to Ipswich later today,four and a half hours trip there..tip the load then probably four hours back...very loyal fans are Ipswich as indeed there rivals Norwich are,there crowds are amazingly high..drop off at the docks and you still get that feeling of tradition and community there and that leads me onto the time i went to Ipswich and the guy unloading me had a Norwich scarf on..then he started waving his hands around in a circular movement at a rapid rate of knots at the same time he was making weird whooshing sounds..i was alarmed to say the least...finally he slowed down came over and pointing at his Norwich scarf whispers i gotta beez carfull roundz ere with this ere scarf on ize...not that bad surely i says,with this the arms go mental again and the whooshing gets louder...is for i he says...ime an ex tractor fan!

A fine region, is East Anglia.
Driving to Norwich is a bit of a pain in the arse after a while though, the last hour is a bit shit.
When doing Oxford-Norwich or the other way round, I always used to wait until about 10pm to set off, so as to have the roads to myself. You can do it in three hours flat at night, instead of four in the day.

I wish we were in the same league as Ipswich or Norwich, I've got lots of friends around there.

My girlfriend is from Swaffham, about 45 minutes from Norwich. Nice place, the drive is a bit of an arse but its simple at least.

See Norwich have just appointed Bryan Gunn as their manager.
Hope it works out for him, top legend for him and by all accounts a new bloke to.

Oh right. In which case, I stand by my original assertion. But, as she will inevitably read this, I should point out shes not originally from Norfolk . |
