Quelle frappe! Quelle frappe!

Was in London and couldn't find a pub showing the game despite a mammoth search.

The sooner we're independent the better. Not that I'm bitter.... ;); 9/15/2007 7:48 pm

Have to say, my favourite bit is the bit right at the end where the summariser intones "unfortunately, the ball swerved..."

Until such time as we're independent (and even after!), the Rob Roy, just off Edgware Road near the Marleybone flyover (Edgware Rd tube is close by), seems to be the place for watching Scotland (and Aberdeen)games in London:

Thanks for the tip about the Rob Roy. Apparently there's a place called Three Kings at West Kensington that would show Under 17s baseball if you asked nicely enough as the landlord is a sports nut.; 9/16/2007 1:12 pm
