View from office

That makes two Charlton fans for Wellington - what a concentration!

I was only in town for the day to meet RBNZ.

I am back on 15/12 if you fancy a beer? First guy I met on arrival was from Clapham

Nice idea but I work a little out of town. In truth there are a few of us around. When i moved and joined the Kapiti Coast United Sports Club (we only play football) i discovered two other members who are supporters. The first day i walked through the door i saw a Charlton Flag on the clubroom walls and realised i was home!

A pack of wildebeest roaming across the plain - but then again I'm only in Torquay.

To get the Charlton fans salivating ...take a look at the view from my office window. Panoramic views of the Johnsonville - Wellington train line AND beyond into the Wellington Railway Station train yards. Bonus buses able to be viewed from the overpass. Just out of sight the Cook Strait Ferry. Horrible winter's day, but.

You can see the floodlights leaning in behind the front carriage beyond the overpass.

I always though Knuckle Scharfenberg was a German euphemism.

No wonder so many Muslims make the pilgrimage to Mecca. Looks lovely.
