I contracted for TAG:WORLDWIDE for a year, my boss? Steve Parrish. Giggety giggety.
Worked in quite a few homes owned by Palace fans, as long as they pay and make me tea I don't mind.
One asked me if I wanted tea when I was working in his kitchen, and produced a Palace mug out of the cupboard, thought he was going to give me that to drink out of, but he was also making himself a cup.
Worked in one flat and I didn't know the customer or anything about him, I went into one of the rooms to be greeted by loads of Palace memrobilia on the walls, I called out to the customer that I had found something terrible, he came running in thinking I had found a big problem with his heating, I was pointing at a large Crystal Palace mirror on the wall.

Back in the early 70s, when everyone in Hove 'followed' a div 1 side, I had an affection for dirty (Leeds). I had a longstanding antagonism with a Chelsea boy. He still is. He's my middle brother and I love him to bits. Of course the rivalty is long gone, since I became totally BHA by about 73, and he's now more Brighton than Chelsea. My other brother, though, the little one, is still diehard . . . .Leeds; refused a ticket to watch us vs them on several occasions, refusing to sit in among the Albion. Silly bugger.
As for Palarse, worked with several, all top lads. But I work in a nice place, and everyone is civilised . . . .

Back in the early 90's I worked with a palace fan in Frankfurt, at the airport. He is from Worthing but has family ties to the club. Got a few beatings growing up in the 70s so became one of their 'boys'. Anyway, we were out drinking in Frankfurt with a beautiful girl that I had asked out from the airport. He very kindly offered me the keys to his flat for the night to take her back. This happened. Upon arrival and after some minor shenanigans I got into bed and she disappeared to get ready. Not having brought any night clothing with her she decided to see if she could find anything and came out of the bathroom wearing only a fooking Palace shirt. I shouted at her to remove it and so our first night included a fairly robust Brighton/Palace history lesson. Other than that the night went well and she became wifey 2 eventually...

Started working for a large insurance company in Hove a few weeks ago, and having to train up in Kingswood in Surrey. Massive Palace infestation up there, although the working environment is nice.
As an aside, please wish me well as I have recently found out our resident "journalist" is in my department. I haven't seen his crayons yet, but rest assured I will try and wrestle them off him when appropriate.

I didn't even know that Kingswood had a canteen, let alone that Timmy had been moved there from McDonalds

Just got back from our overnight stay deep in the heart of enemy territory, I had to improvise when I found they were running low on toilet roll.....

Working from Crawley i have the unfortunate daily encounters with just about everything under the sun,including 4 current palace,used to go to the Goldstone with a palace fan on many occasions, he even went in the North stand (god forbid) he was Brighton born 2nd generation after family moved down,he would actually enjoy our games as well as the pyss taking...
I never went to Selhurst only to watch Albion,but it would not surprise me if he takes his kids out to the Amex as a 2nd team
have not seen him for years now.
