[NI Hibby]

Bob,

Apologies to all for drifting off the topic of the thread with IAteJamTarts before there and I'm impressed that car-thieves go for German motors in France. In Northern Ireland they aim for any expensive cars they can get the keys for as they can no longer open the doors with coat-hangers! (As they used to do with Vauxhall Novas).

Just to stress the invitation, if you are coming over to Easter Road for a big game and NI Hibs are attending we'd be happy to join you (just sent me a PM when you are coming over) - and I'm sure some of the Green Brotherhood lads would like a chance to play host as well.

I'll be in France later in the year (I tend to be in Paris or St. Malo and will mention to my brother-in-law about possibly watching at St. Etienne game some time). Perhaps if they are playing in Paris some time this would be a good chance, but I don't think I could convert my brother-in-law.

Good luck with the new players - you should be glad to get any new faces as, as you know, at Hibs it is 'one way traffic'.

And as for Sables - did you check that he isn't in some way related to Bobby Williamson??!!

Best wishes,

NIH
