“How about you sit down and I’ll bring us some drinks out.” I said pointing to a<br />

round Heineken table with a massive green parasol overshadowing it. “What do<br />

you fancy?”<br />

“Whatever you are drinking.” She said nonchalantly.<br />

“Guinness.” I told her, asked her.<br />

She said the <strong>Polish</strong> beer that I couldn’t pronounce. It began with a Z but the<br />

sound wasn’t zed or zee. I could point it out though and that was all the barman<br />

needed. I invited the Scouse and Manc fan out to join us.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y declined.<br />

I was glad.<br />

“Did you have fun?” I asked.<br />

“It was essential.” She answered. “You?”<br />

“I guess. I met a couple who were quite funny. Better than most of those<br />

nobheads anyway.” I answered. In truth I was glad to be out of the bar and if I<br />

hadn’t loved football as much as I did I doubt I would have returned.<br />

“You must introduce me.” She announced and gathered her bags.<br />

We finished our drinks then went inside to find them with a group of other ex-<br />

pats. Elly charmed the barman into stowing her ‘essentials’ behind the bar and<br />

we spent the next few hours hearing only English.
