A new millenium

With the new millenium we headed across the Iron Curtain to the Czech Republic and were uplifted by the addition of a total newcomer to the squad in the form of John Palestine Brennan. Nicknamed Brennox by his really close friends, the rest of us tended to prefer to call him Bollox.

Brennox certainly tried hard to raise the intellectual quality of the conversations (US foreign policy towards Israel; the Peace process in the North; etc) but gave up after about four hours when he realised all we wanted to talk about was the fermentation process for beer; Arsenal's path to the double in 1971 and big tits. He actually proved quite capable at talking about the latter but knew fuck all about either Ray Kennedy or the maturity of yeast.

Also returning to the fold in 2000 was Enda, who at this stage had big tits himself (along with me sadly).
