=Superbowl - Feb 5th= When in Rome, do as the Romans do... so is anyone interested in watching the Superbowl? It'll be the Patriots against the Giants, and kick-off is at 3.30pm on Sunday 5th of Febuary. There are several options for how we can watch the game - either find a bar somewhere or if someone has a house with a TV we can meet there, or something else that I haven't thought of. But for now (as the event is still two weeks away) I was just thinking about gauging interest and opinions. So if you think you'd like to watch it (I'm pretty sure I will regardless of the outcomes of this discussion) then put your name below and any comments that you have. Thanks David
