Match tickets 1500 pounds each from a tout I know (hope he gets the tickets).

I'm taking the missus because I cant justify spending that on myself. We got married last year and its her birthday next week. I've told her its a romantic trip to St Petersburg as a belated birthday present. She doesn't believe that!

I cant afford it but I regret missing 1999. For reality there's cash, for evereything else there's Mastercard.
