When Friday Comes
When Friday Comes: Football, War and Revolution in the Middle East | James Montague
15 posts | 1 read
For seven years, James Montague travelled to every country in the Middle East uncovering stories of the beautiful game's survival and resurgence. Whilst the region has often been divided, football is the Middle East's great uniting thread. When Friday Comes will take you to every corner of the Middle East where football thrives and where the game played an important, sometimes crucial, part in the Arab Spring. But, more importantly, the Middle East and its extreme wealth also provides a window on this rising power, and how football in the rest of the world could be changed forever.

1. Up was pretty fabulous
2. I learnt to drive in a manual (that's what we call a "stick shift") but it's been so long since I last drove one I'm not sure I still could
3. Oh boy, how to remember all the disappointing movie adaptations over the years? Probably the 1989 adaptation of The Shell Seekers.
4. With friends bottling this year's vintage of our wine and going to some gigs at the Bendigo Blues Festival
5. Of course?

1. My Furby. I loved that thing 😍 nowhere near as fancy as the newer ones though!
2. Rebecca. Got it for a friend this year!
3. Younger (28), but with my eyes and knees I feel much much older.

emily_m_tubb I had a furby too! I love that thing! I think I still have it somewhere! 😂 7y
laurieluna @emily_m_tubb so much fun! I remember a well eorn tummy with mine. I look at the price now and I'm astounded but I suppose when we were young the price was equivalent! 7y
laurieluna @emily_m_tubb that was meant to be worn...only half way through my morning coffee! 😂 7y

Cinfhen I was buying Furbies for my kids!!! Now I feel really old! 7y
laurieluna @Cinfhen have you seen the newer ones? They link up with apps and learn all sorts! Price tag of about £80! 😥 dread to think what will be out when my 2 are old enough to say what they want for Christmas. My 2 year old wanted a Christmas tree. We put our tree up. Sorted 😂 7y
Cinfhen It‘s insane! I‘m glad my kids no longer want toys!!!! 7y

1. Probably anything from Hard Case Crime
2. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree 🤮
3. No. My dad hates when we get him stuff. 🙄
4. Above and beyond. With a 2-year-old, though, I set the bar lower than I would have.

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - it reminds me of my high school friends and our unofficial book club.
2. I try to avoid Christmas music until the 23rd/24th, but I guess “Dominic the Donkey” - if you can consider that a song (also “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”).
3. Yes. Sigh...
4. Exceeded (but it was low compared to that of many Litsians). Still proud, though!
5. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

1. Recently, people trying to feed my 7 month old food without permission. 😒👊
2. A toss up between Dillard, Ga and St. Augustine, Fl
3. Big Book of Serial Killers 1400-something pages
4. NOS4A2 counts?
5. You have to fight the last literary monster you read about with the closest thing to you that‘s orange: What monster is it and what are you fighting it with?

1. Finally getting new furnace/AC condenser installed. The old furnace had a crack and apparently it's a miracle we didn't die of CO poisoning last winter. 😳

2. Northern Michigan/ Traverse City area

3. Apple pie

4. Meh. I always work one day of the weekend so it's not such a big deal to me.

5. Okey dokey 😊
