Staying in hotel just outside of Glasgow. They have Sky in the bar but they don't seem to give a poop about English football. Do I ask them to put the match on and risk the wrath of a bunch of half cut Scots. Apologies to those of you who live over the border who do acknowledge the existence of the English premier league. I once stayed in a small village in Inverness and watched Arsenal in the champions league vs a German side I think. I might have well as been in Berlin given the support for the Germans. I had my pint and slipped quietly away.
I'm staying just outside Heathrow in a hotel without ****ing sky. The girl who booked this for me is getting much grief when I get back to the office. Lol 3 bars around the hotel are showing dodgy channel arsenal games. Some poor sod in the hotel bar is going to feel my entire wrath if I can't find a bar showing it near here. Lol Cockney ******s.
Jump in a taxi and head for the King William in Sipson (Just outside the airport boundary) Good pub, always show sky games and the locals quite like us.
That reminds me of a wee holiday I had in Ayeshire, we went in the bar one night & there was a match on telly. I says to the bairn, "go & see what the game is son". So he comes back & says, " dad, it's Celtic, we don't like Celtic do we dad, we like Rangers don't we dad?" The room was full of big ****ers with green & white hoops on, lol. TBF to them they just laughed it of like & we had a good night.
Bad planning Cest. I insisted on Sky when office was booking hotel. Hotel is dodgy but fingers crossed I get to watch the game. I can always put a chair against the bedroom door later.
Good man. Mind if your ringing them to say kick the **** out of any northern lad going in there tonight asking to watch the Sunderland game, I'll be calling into the west country on my way home. Lol
I would risk it and ask to watch the match, last time I was up there on the West coast fishing, had some canny crack me and the lad. He will have been about 14 then. He ended up blotto the twats were giving him pints behind my back. But was nice to have a bar full of Jocks cheering on Sunderland.
Only 6 miles from my hotel. Rang them and asked and they said they would put it on for me. Mentioned that a Sunderland fan told me it used to be his local and he said if thought if knew who I meant? How would if know you? What's his name and I'll give him your best. Even though I don't know your name. LOL
Normally I shift a canny bit Malt whilst watching Sunderland, tonight I didn't have time to reach for the glass as something was always catching my attention on the pitch. Took me about 13 go's to eventually light my cigar.
All this talk of hotels.. Just stick the porn on and be done with it man.. Then charge it to the company! Although with a performance like tonight's I can't see it needing porn!
