Dunno, they once charged me 20,000 dong for a bit of fried doughnut.
It’s an absolute disgrace.
Miss saigon? Me either!
Did the Vietnamese wait for another colony to rebel and copy them later?

While it’s possible that the grand plan garnered some small germ of inspiration from India 1947 and China 1949, Vietnam’s liberation was completely unique and any similarities merely a bizarre quirk of coincidence.
You’re (in)famous in Saigon, Matt. I saw a poster in Pasteur Street Brewing Company which looked very familiar.
“Have you seen this pervert?” were the words underneath.
Apparently you misinterpreted the name of the currency and instead of handing over cash you showed the barman something else.

Yes, that was a huge misunderstanding, even though they said it was nothing special and thought it was hilarious.
I was pulled off by a couple of policemen to a round of applause from the crowd. I managed to slip their grasp and escape down a back passage.

Do you have a thing about back passages, Matt?

They’re sometimes more convenient than going in the front entrance as it’s often less crowded. Admission costs also tend to be a bit lower.
The road less travelled…

Just checked and yes, I did miss you for some reason when going down the results, don’t know why - my apologies. Points will be added to the final table which I am doing now!

@JollyJohnny from my league position I would think you’ve missed quite a few of my points also …

Morning all, firstly apologies for the 2 week absence of communication and updates - life has been hectic and got in the way of doing these fun things!
As for week 46, the final week, it was a bit of a drab affair with so many teams scoring unexpected results, partly due to ‘protecting’ themselves for the playoffs maybe. As a result the scoring was very low, a number of zeroes and the winning score was 2 points, achieved by a whopping 13 people (too many to mention here!) But well done to all of them!
With that, there wasn’t much movement in the table. So here is the final table for 2018-19.
Well done, but hard luck to Morty, who proved to be the Liverpool of this season with a mightily impressive 101 points, which would put you in with a good shout for the league title in most seasons, but unfortunately he found himself competing with the Man City-esque juggernaut that is Matt_Saddlesore! Well done to the deviant, and 2018-19 Prediction League champion - MATT_SADDLESORE! 
As for the weekly win table, that accolade goes to Timbuktu_Saddler, well done. You win entry to the Europa League!
Have a great summer, people, and forget about football for a bit, seems The Saddlers did that pretty well during the last 6 months so anything they can do…

Thanks @JollyJohnny for all your hard work and a great competition.
I trust the EUFA investigation into Saigon’s behind the scenes shenanigans will result in a points deduction for next season

@saddla … I’m sure you meant to put “ban” there, not “points deduction”?
@JollyJohnny … Sincere thanks for all your efforts - they’re much appreciated!
@matt_saddlesore … well done, you strange twisted person

@JollyJohnny - Yeah - thanks again for this - and thanks for not finding my missing 21 points (you must have lost them ).
@matt_saddlesore - Your luck knows no bounds. You’re have exceeded your copying skills this year. Here’s a challenge for you for next season - try being the FIRST predictor every week for a change (so that we can all copy you)
