Very small World. He has done a tremndous job with the Broncos Ladies. I went along to their first ever open trials day, more out of curiosity, and they were a mix of totally raw novices and a few ex Union girls who were decent enough but probably could not make it in Union. He has transformed them into a really good team, now playing in a much higher comp and probably the best run aspect of the whole London Rugby League set up. He did what he said he would and will leave a legacy with that team.
It will help not having the English accent!! I'm due back there end of July for a meeting, will try and use my best Rab C Nesbitt impression and go undercover!
I've spent quite a bit of time in Glasgow and I can't say I was ever particularly concerned, other than in November 1999, the night before we played Scotland at Wembley. I'd gone with a customer to view a shop in Glasgow that he was thinking about taking and to have a night out, but we'd not really thought about the game being the next day. The entire city centre was full of blokes in kilts and ginger wigs, lots of chanting about killing the English, we ended up walking from bar to bar pretending we were Dutch, 'Ello, hev you any Grolsch?'
Should have gone full Two Ronnies and pretended to be Swedish. F U N E X S V F X Although seeing as you wanted lager rather than eggs it may not have worked. As you where.
Talking of which. I passed Dees of Trongate Yeserday,had a look in the window,usual fare,wasn't really buying to be fair but I did see some loafers(I'm gonna need a pair for this winter as these Ikon efforts are like skates).Delicious Junction? Is that part of your business. He actually had some DM ones that were cheaper than the DM shop by some distance but they were a bit bulky in the sole department. I think that Dees is gonna have to move at some point(it's been there since I was a 14 year old skinhead and probably beyond) but there's a lot of new accommodation(student digs etc),even butt jointed to his building and it must only be a matter of time before they want to push along a bit?
Played golf with two Scots last night , I asked one who I know is from Clydebank where his mate was from , he said the c****. Side of the country ! I said that’ll be Edinburgh then !! I was right he told me. LOL
Very nice of you to offer. I'll have a look around OLM but I'm really looking for something with a grip for the winter...I think you'rs are leather soles too?
True However the power that the Police have over individuals means that bad ones can do much more harm than in many other jobs, which is why their professional standards are so important
I’ve never felt on edge in a Glasgow boozer and I’ve been a few times. It’s quite an aggressive sounding accent, but I’ve never had any problems
I was at that game. I have never heard noise like it. We just had to guess when the national anthem was being played as couldn't hear yourself think with all the booing and whistling. Me and my mates were unusually sensible that trip and decided a couple of days in Edinburgh was a better idea than Glasgow.
