LONDON - APRIL 2006 |
|
With a lack of ideas for the 2006 Easter outing, McCarthy and Witham decided that maybe a visit to our nations fine capital was in order. Tagging along was Mark Potter, as we drove to Putney, boarded a tube and went to two of the most famous sporting venues in the world |
 |
 |
| Tom Witham looks forward to riding the tube | McCarthy enjoys the journey, sporting a dashing straw hat |
 |
 |
| Potter holds on as the train weaves its way through the capital | Witham has purchased this amazing badge from e-bay, which reads "Ask me the question Noel" |
 |
 |
| This tunnel was one that was blown up on July 7th at Edgware Road | Kings Cross, and we wonder whether we should go and look for platform 9 3/4 |
 |
 |
| Destination 1 - the Lords tour. Here are the Ashes | And the crystal urn that is thrust into the air by the winning captain |
 |
 |
| Potter and Witham were losing their Lords virginity | McCarthy lost his a long while back |
 |
 |
| The tour guide was this legendary fellow, called Brian | The Pavilion |
 |
 |
| He told us all manner of anecdotes, from people having heart attacks to someone biting through an umbrella handle | Nottinghamshire were warming up for their game with the MCC the next day. Fans of the Sussex Barmy Army may remember this man getting a load of abuse for his hair in a day-night match a few years back |
 |
 |
| Lords, as seen from the Natwest Media Centre | This Sri Lankan man was possibly the most annoying man ever, as he constantly interrupted Brian with useless facts and questions. His trousers kept slipping down as well |
 |
 |
| McCarthy poses in the Media Centre | Brian continues to point things out |
 |
 |
| Witham in the Media Centre | Lords in the background |
 |
 |
| Potter with this famous arena in his rear | McCarthy performs the first Bruce Forsyth of the day |
 |
|
| We leave Lords, and wander past the British National Mosque | Witham and McCarthy pose outside |
 |
 |
| Back in the tube, and after getting slightly lost, it is time to visit our second destination, and the most famous sport ground in the world - Wembley | Witham performs the Brucie outside this simply breathtaking arena |
 |
 |
| Potter poses on Wembley Way - agitated after all the questions he was being asked with regards to his sisters sex life | McCarthy pulls the Bruce Forsyth poses as well, and a quick walk around the new stadium wrapped up a fine day |
