Look out. It's me and Yates in London.

It's PRISONER CELL BLOCK YATES. This is the cell, and there's no other way to describe it,
that we stayed in, in Swiss Cottage. £22 a night. You had to be a teenager to stay there, but obviously, me and Yates can pass for teenagers.

Now follows obligatory shots of us in London, like we've never been there before.

Yates the morning after. We found a greasy spoon for breakfast which was quite frankly the worst
fried breakfast either of us have ever had, and to be honest it's a wonder we both survived it.

We also went to the National Museum, only because the pubs don't open until 11am, to be honest.

More London.

Right why are we here? It's the NFL International Series at Wembley Stadium, where each year a regular series
NFL game is played. This year its Tampa Bay against New England.

It would have been better for me and Yates if it was the Steelers against the Cowboys, but again this year, noone in charge
of the NFL asked us for our opinion.

Wembley Stadium.
NFL012_1632.jpg
Oh there's a beer tent. Mint.
NFL013_1632.jpg
Pregame Show.

Teams coming out. You may be able to tell from these pictures that our seats were one row down from the top rim of the
stadium. Top seats. we could see everything. Didn't have my zoom camera though so these shots all look a bit far away...

National anthems, UK and US. Katherine Jenkins sung ours, bonus. And Joe Calzaghe was there as well, it was like
being at the Millenium Stadium. I have to say though that Wembley has nothing on Cardiff, its not a patch on it.

Patriots won 35-7. Tampa could have played for another week on their own after the game and they still would have lost.
NFL017_1632.jpg
The day after, i dropped into see my good friend Cullen and his fam. Nothing to do with football, just because
they were in town.
