Couldn't watch that one cos it was my eldests 13th birthday that day.
Pretty sure I've bored this place stupid with this story but I love it so am gonna do it again.
Her birthday bowling party and pizza meal had to be cancelled cos her mates got ill that week. She was gutted so we booked her a surprise weekend away in Broadstairs.
They dump tonnes of sand on the beach there most years to replace the sand washed away.
The dumped sand runs the length of the beach and is about 8 ft high.
We were two nil down when we arrived in Broadstairs.
We took the girls for a drink and cake and as we left the coffee shop a mate texted me to say it was 2-1.
There was bugger all internet reception on the beach so had no idea what was happening until my mate sent a text saying "PENALTY"...then nothing for 5 mins until "FOR US" ... following abusive texts from me he told us VDV scored...So me and my girls were jumping around getting weird looks from the locals ... then we got the "KABOUL 3-2" text.
Me and my eldest ran down the length of mound of sand shouting "Kaaaaaaabbbboooooouuuuulllllllllll"
the looks we got were great...when I don't shave for a few weeks my beard is quite grey and people think I am Muslim.
I swear the locals either thought it was a Muslim pray or a terrorist death chant
When we got home the next day we watched the full match cos for some reason I recorded it in a mad moment of optimism.
Ian Wright was sooooooo funny at the end too
