The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.

[neph93]

There’s a lot of children’s football in Norway. A lot. And a lot of money and time into it. Both from volunteers and parents. Both of my youngest play and both are playing futsal today. First game was a comfortable victory. Four more to come.

They play for Bodø Glimt, as we live in the catchment area. Undeniable that it’s pretty cool given the current climate around the club. I’m wearing the wrong jacket today, given much of the opposition wears red…

Supporter selfie with the famous pin. I have a Gosport pin from the last party. Should I apply it?

[Giles]

Yes.....

[neph93]

@Giles excellent. No need to wait for a consensus

The reason why there’s so much indoor football. And why Italian teams hate coming here…

Youngest lad keeping goal in his second and final game. His older brother offering support. 2-1 win.

Got my 10 year old to supply a day one fit with the MRMF.

[Tobi]

Good to see it eventually made it's way up north! Indoor or middle layer only it seems

[neph93]

@Tobi spot on, mate. I’ll be using it like a shirt Fortunately (for the tour, my blood pressure, and my comfort), I’m down 8kg, and a leather jacket as second layer is just fine at this time of year.

I have an olive A1 tin XL that I can get over it. Not the greatest colour combo, but necessary when outside.

Lovely to see you, @neph93 Reuben! Looking forward to more during this leg of the MRMF 🥰

[Tago Mago]

@neph93 I can see how freezing your arse off in style may be a little uncomfortable. Great to see you

[neph93]

Speaking of olive…I’ve wanted a bag from
Porter-Yoshida & Co for many years. Finally realised the dream and it was so worth waiting for. Incredible technical design and construction. And it’s practical value is enormous.

[neph93]

MRMF has got new bling…

[neph93]

Travelling to Stavanger tomorrow, for a week. 1000km from Bodø as the crow flies. I will not be flying like a crow however, and will need to go via Trondheim. Joy. The MRMF will be along for the ride.

Quiet night in packing, but I bought this on Friday as I love Tilquin anyway, and this bottle seemed especially appropriate.

[tody]

@neph93 Tilquin ️

[neph93]

@tody oh hell yes. My favourite producer of lambic and geueze. I checked the wine monopoly in Stavanger this morning and they have an impressive list of Tilquin. First stop after landing

[neph93]

Travel day…

Bådin stout, snus, first trip for the PY&Co bag, used for its intended purpose (laptop/carry on), and a ledendary mid-life crisis jacket.

Travel day … and a legendary mid-life crisis jacket.

When does a mid-life crisis end and the enjoyable sunset years in the MRMF begin?
Have a safe trip @neph93

[neph93]

@Aetas, ask @Giles ?

Here’s the airport bathroom selfie nobody, needed

And the post travel beer:

this is made by the mighty Lervig, which any beer nuts reading will be familiar with. They are from Stavanger (lucky me). I’m in Stavanger/Sandnes for a study trip (with ahem benefits). I’ll share a little of it here, but it will not be visually very exciting unless you’re a Linux nerd. More details to come.

More urinal next time, please!

[neph93]

@Bridger This is Norway. I’d have to work very hard to find interesting urinals. Unlike my oldest son, who spent five months in Aberdeen recently, and could confirm that the toilet featured in Trainspotting was in fact not the worst toilet in Scotland by a long shot. He took great joy in documenting and sharing this fact.

[Bridger]

Fair @neph93 - and you really don't want the Mad Red Mofo going on such adventures while on tour

[68degreesorless]

@neph93 I like how Swedish that snus looks.
