Sorry to get serious but mine was when at school having to sometimes walk home past my alcoholic father and his fellow lush "mates", sitting on a bench drinking. My mother always knew if this had happened just by seeing me on arrival home. Needless to say I've never had owt to do with him and he...

Caught between my teeth.:p :lolol:

Here's an interesting "fact", when I lived in Japan for four years ALL but two of my english chums ended up marrying (not just going out with) Japanese women. And half of those arrived with partners - tis the way of the world out there. Have to say was great to see your "Provincial Princess"...

Stone Roses - Club Citta, Kawasaki Japan; came on at 7 finished at 8 and that was that! Still, got in for nowt via the roadies, hung out backstage, watched the sound-check - the band, by the way, were top geezers, no attitude or owt. Also, as a result, went to 2nd Tokyo gig. Simple Minds -...

Rock star/musician - all you have to do is come up with 10 decent songs every 18 months or so, just make sure you can play them properly and "rock", tour the world being fawned for so successful/creative/rich and use those experiences as inspiration for the next album if necessary. Also use your...

Ralph "Camberwell Carrot" North - an obvious choice me thinx.

Loser as a player (yeah, yeah "great player" but show me de medals!) loser as a manager. Career "highlight" in club management is "Swindon" - and that thru a play-off. With a smaller club he can be the big fish in the small pond he's happy to play. Difference at a Prem' club is a player knows...

Amongst others last night it was interesting to hear that trouble around the Perugia v Dundee game was caused by "english" fans. Reminds me of Heysel '85 when the Scousers were insistent that those mainly responsible were fans of Chelsea, West Ham and Millwall. Sounds like the Uefa Cup is like...

Tokyo - you have to go to know (lived there for four years, went back for the World Cup last year). Boracy in the Philippines - idyll. New Zealand - south island.

Deportivo la Coruna for me too and here's why : Went out there for a few days in 2000 when Arsenal played them in Uefa cup and based myself in Compostela, an hour south (where that fan died last week). Stayed in Coruna night of game and after ended up going out all night til 7am on a bar crawl...

Well, after some deliberation I've decided I'm Mr Benn. How I wish I could just pop into a shop, swap my normal clothes (don't ever wear a suit anyway) for some action gear and escape for a while into some excitement and adventure before being safely led back into the shop where I hand the...

A tad surprised none of those late 50s/early 60s gritty films have had a mention. Ya know the type : Charlie Bubbles, Saturday Night Sunday Morning (surely the strangest appearance by Liza Minelli in a film, or was that Charlie B...), Room At The Top, Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner et...

Local Hero - top top film with a top message, the oil dude who comes over to buy up 20 miles of coastline for a refinery but gets transformed and finds himself, via the odd 10 year old malt. 20 years ago - cor blimey.... As for The Ipcress File many years in my first full time I worked with guy...

Whoever it is she wouldn't be english? The more attractive an english girl is the more up her arse (think "princess") she goes. Aussie women (an oxymoron there) are just not worth the hassle. So its got to Spanish or Japanese, or someone from the Isobel Adjani/Juliette Binoche/Virginie Le Doyen...

Here is the perfect site for those going to and/or interested in Euro 2004 in Portugal. Soccerphile.com was originally set up as an all round guide to all things concerned with the World Cup last year in Japan (I got to see 2 Italy games and 2 Ireland ones. If I'd just sorted myself out instead...

I had a New Year's Eve in Leeds in the late 80s, a "unique" experience. After we got back after total random "gumming" in th club where we went, I crashed on the floor while seconds later mate's sister proceeded to get shagged next to me by bouncer from club. Kindly told me he'd "poured the lot"...

Roger Milla and the dance with the corner flag. And for those romantics out there Raul always kissing his wedding ring when he scores. And for the oldies the Mick Channon arm swivel and the Stuart Pearson arm in the air. Alan Sunderland mouthing all kinds of obscenities about Man Utd after...

Best bit about summer is when your mates realise what your bird looks like with a short skirt and small top and its all yours. Shagging in the countryside :smokin:

When you really need a dump in a pub - you go in, full of relief and bang! No toilet paper. Then the lovely task of having to ask one of the barstaff for a restock. In full view of assemble punters. That gorgeous girl who was too shy to ask you out and tells you years later, while complaining...
