 |

...if 1tom turns up on Saturday night to DL's birthday bash, and repeats comments he made in Woollamalloo last night about a certain person being "our token Aussie" or stating that "the guys were really old, about 40 actually!" Then, if he doesn't get fed to the Sharks I may just be slinging him on the Barbie... 
Top meeting of London and South Branch in Woollamalloo last night (1tom's behaviour excepted  ) Excellent idea by Mr Easby, a big thank you from me to all in attendance (except 1tom of course)...

Ach ... Tom's no problem if you just stick him in the corner with a few cans of cheap beer and a gullible woman !
Assuming Sando's going to be there, you can stop him boring you to death/talking p**h all night by sticking David Soul's Greatest Hits on continuous loop on your 8-Track - he'll be like a pig in s**t !
You DO still have an 8-Track don't you Grandad ?

I have some VERY bad news for you...
Thanks in part to Josh Easby (damn the man!) Sando has got into bad New Zealand "B bands" with particular attention being paid to the 1970s 
They were last seen discussing Dragon... 
Was wondering if you could help me though, I keep hearing stories about some bloke called "Puff Rossy", any information would help. Blow dry your hair first of course...

Was Tom on the Tequilla Dave?
He usually moves onto that after he has reached his capacity of beer (one and a half pints!) Oh and was he making anonomous phone calls to people

Heh...
No he was trying to avoid me I think, especially after his "Aussie" comment.
He tried to sell me on some dark coloured dingo's diarrhoea in a glass that he claimed was passable as beer. The kids today... 
I'm currently sharpening a few green bamboo skewers ready for tomorrow night just in case he fails to crawl.
So "Puff Rossy"? Anyone?

I presume Puff Rossy refers to that nice Mr Mcphail - Him being both a Ross and a ..... (well I suppose anybody who wears a skirt as these Scotsmen do could be called a "ironhoof"!)

That unfortunate nickname was actually my own fault ! 
Picture the scene ... An Indian Restaurant in Edinburgh during City's pre-season tour to Livingston in the mid-90's - I'd recently been elected Secretary of London and T'South branch and in a moment that i've regretted ever since, I advised the assembled throng (including my nemeses Sando and Cern ) that just because the Secretary of another branch was jokingly referred to as "Puff ******" (name withheld for libel reasons ) they better not start calling me "Puff Rossy !"
Of course the pair of b******s DID and have done ever since !
Doncha just hate it when that happens ...

Hard to believe, I know, but I'm 40!!!
It seems City have done better without me, so I think I may stay here.

Then again you've always looked older than you are I remember you, Mike K, and I walking into a pub en-route to an away game (Wrexham, I think) - Mike and I were refused service, being unable to prove our ages (we would be around 25 at the time), but the landlord was keen to serve you even though you were a slip of a lad of 17 (and two inches short of 5').
Scandalous.

BTW guess who was a no show at DL's birthday bash...

BTW I expect DL to set new standards in smart attire now.

No that is heresy, the GLF t-shirt is my pride and joy...
Expect DL to be wearing something that will make Prada, One True Saxon and Stone Island so 20th Century amongst "top lads" (even if the top of him is 2" inches less than 5')

Also partly to do with you leaning out of the window in your towel to inform the 20 of us waiting thirstily below that you were just drying your hair and wouldn't be long. You were always on a loser that night after that. You didn't even have the decency to put your Springsteen t-shirt on.

Well if you took the time to read the thread it's pretty much spelled out for you !
So, no - not really ...

Even if DL doesn't remain in the Antipodes his luggage probably will. BA managed to lose my luggage on the way out to Auz, and lose it again on the way back. Incredible.
Dave, - I was wonderering if you and your new mate got into that rather swish looking nightclub in Sydney? |

Oooh errrr...
Sorry for not saying bye, thought you were all coming too...
Got thrown out of every one along George Street until 5am where we parted at Central Station...
Did have a most interesting encounter with a sexy Aussie-Hungarian Police woman with a huge weapon outside Planet Hollywood although she finally decided against giving me her mobile number!
Great to see you chaps, did you get to Stanwell Park? I was there on Tuesday and the surf was belting and the lady was even better...

Sounds a bit like a few of the forum nights out - I bet AB is spitting feathers to have missed one

So DL, we have a deal or what?

Back safely thank you, our token Aussie. Shame I couldn't stay longer on the night in question, I was already an hour late for a family friend's barbecue.
Australia is simply a fantastic place to go, had the most amazing 3 weeks and I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone to go and visit. New Year's Eve in Sydney under the Harbour Bridge was a night I will never forget. Equally, our first day in Aus, Christmas Day, will not be forgotten for probably one of the worst rain storms I've ever experienced.
Cricket was all a bit of an embarrassment really - on and off the pitch. On the pitch for us and off the pitch for the Aussies who's support was laughable. Managed to get to the opposite side of the ground in Melbourne and the Barmy Army were fantastically loud amongst a 90,000 crowd.
Good to see a number of City flags in the ground and somewhat bizarrely I ended up sitting 3 seats away from a Scarborough fan on the 3rd day in Sydney. |
