Bob8 5,157 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Who says romance is dead. Question does she like gravy on her fish chips n mushy peas ? She did not believe there were people who really had chips and gravy. She was quite taken aback when I took her on a tour of the North. She assumed everyone would have cheese or cheese and mayo on their chips like in Oxford. I also took her to Knowsley Road to watch Saints beat Wire again, but this time without any celebrity glamour.

hindle xiii 843 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Funny you should mention toilets, it's a place I have spotted many an RL type celeb. First encounter was a Wides vs Kangaroos in 1982, half time pee and in walked Mal Meninga & Peter Sterling Once out for a work related meal in Le Frog, Wigan and on the next table was a group of Wigan players and family celebrating Terry O'connor's birthday. In the bog on this occation saw Adrian Lam. Last year at half time in a game at the DW spotted Lockers. Riiiiight. That's a little creepy. Saying that, everybody pee's.

Optimus 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Due to my 'old profession' I was fortunate to train with quite a few players, ex players and coaches. But the funniest by far was a fancy dress party for some relation of my ex missus at Oldham St Annes club and I was in the gents having a pee next to a really drunk Zoro (Sean Long) who couldn't stand up let alone pee. That or Barrie Mc threatening to tear me a new ###### cos I laughed at his pink goatee in Walkabout. I was lucky Senior took pity on me and talked him round!

timtum 181 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 I once sat next to Tim Brasher on a flight from Sydney to Brisbane. He complained throughout that he didn't want to go to Brisbane as he was allergic to the place. I thought this akin to me saying that my former boss brings me out in hives. When we landed and the aircraft door opened Brasher promptly sneezed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giggs was a good winger and would have played at the top level. He wasn't bad at football either. Could have played for a good side like Southampton.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
