Wow, a public holiday after the game! Well done!

I heard that if a public holiday in T&T is on a Sunday they move it to Monday that everybody has the chance to use is. Is this also right? I whish I could live there (and not only because of the holidays) :wink:

Hi Gisela,
not sure about public holidays beeing shifted to the next working day in T&T, but it's certainly true for the UK. :D I am originally from Aachen but moved to the Eastcoast of England about 12 years ago.

public holidays

Post by Gisela Grell »

Hi Torsten,

than you are lucky to live in UK but do they have as much public holidays as Germany? Well, our politicians love to reduce this days. They will never have the idea to move them to a working day.... :(

Well done to move from Aachen to England :) I've never been to England but I think I will go next year to visit some friends.

Cheers

What a fantastic draw T&T will be in the same group as England this means that I will have to where my white shirt for this game but I can wear my Soca warriors one for the rest of the group games.
Gisella it looks like Germany have a good group as well.
Carib party at my house for the big one on June 15th when the game will be in Nuremburg.

I agree Paul. With this first round draw tonight...... a T&T v England World Cup Final is still a possibility.

Let's get those crates of Carib ordered.

Even Steve might start getting interested in football! :lol:

Hi Bob

Well, while we're sat around the crate of Carib I'll be able to pretend convincingly enough.

Yes Paul, seems a good choice for the German team, but I still think they will be kicked out in the first round :wink:

Another big Carib party (for I know now where to get Carib in Germany)
the day T&T will play their first (and second, and third, and ....) game in Bonn. Who ever wants to join me let me know. \:D/

Hi there in cold and rainy Europe,

I found a shop in the Crown Point area who sells T&T football shirts,
but I'm not sure if they're official ones. They are red addidas shirts,
with a small T&T football association mark on the front and on the
backside is written: "Warriors - Impossible is nothing". The price is
200 TT. The shop is located in the green shopping center at the
Store Bay Local Road / Milford Road junction near the airport,
above the Church's Chicken / Pizza boys food store.
They are combinated with a internet cafe which provide very fast
connections for 15 TT / hour.

What do you think about the shirts?

Have to go - Lobster is waiting......

Greetings from Tobago,

Roland

Hi Roland

hope you enjoy yourself in the sun :evil: but don't forget: you have to come back :P

It sounds like this are the right t-shirts but if not even better as everything we found yet.

Have a Carib on me (it tasts better in the sun than in Germany)
