I’m off to Mexico soon so may have to have a Jimenez shirt to gauge the reactions
That is going to take some topping TC.
Was he French or English? If he was English, did he join, as many are reported to do so, to forget something or someone? Was the thing he was trying to forget, the "choke season" by any chance?
Enjoy!I’m off to Mexico soon so may have to have a Jimenez shirt to gauge the reactions
You should've come over and said hello.Went on a cruise last summer for my 50th. On a day trip we were being told by the guide that to be considered as a new buyer wanting to own a property in Monte Carlo, you needed to show you had 5million euros (I think) in the bank. First thing we see as we are entering Monte Carlo is a bloke walking his dog wearing a Wolves away shirt.
And you said, “ I’m Olly the Cat, you will most probably already know me from the Express & Star comments.”I was in a bar in Phoenix, Arizona, and a stranger overheard my accent. He came over and said " Where yo from, marmate ? " He was a Wolves fan living in Walsall, who had only popped into the bar to ask for directions. Small world.
A good thread idea imo, matey.
The wife and myself were standing in a queue to use the funicular railway in Budapest to go to the top of the hill to visit the castle when I told her that the chap nearby giving out posters (or fly-sheets) was from Wolverhampton. She told me not to say anything to him as she gets embarrassed when I strike up conversations with total strangers out of the blue. Anyhow, as usual, I took no notice of her and as we approached him I asked if he was a Wolves fan as a way of showing off that I knew where he was from.
Funicular in Buda Castle District - Buda Castle
Apparently, he comes on the Mix from time to time so "Hello" if you're reading this. And have you bought your house there yet...and do you still run your bus tour trips?
Doing a threesome.
I wish.
To be fair we are going the Pacific coast which is 11. I’m fine with that. I don’t think the wife appreciates it!!!Enjoy!
I wanted to go there this summer but my son didn't fancy the 10 hour flight so we have booked 2 weeks in....................
No brainer................... Portugal of course
His Mexican wrestling mask gave it away.You'd get involved before you knew? That's true bravery.
Australia Zoo Brisbane, the day we signed Jody Craddock!Honeymoon in Dominican Republic was pishing it down, so I went and relaxed in jacuzzi. Chap in the next jacuzzi left 10 mins later and he had wolves shorts on!
Hole in the wall?Toilet cubicle on the M54 service station.
Nice one Shergar. My fame and reputation transcends international boundaries. I have met a few celebrities in my time, and some of them were completely obnoxious big heads. I used to find it hilarious pretending I didn't know who they were. The worst one ever was Dirty Den from Eastenders. A thoroughly obnoxious bighead. The best one recently was Paul Darrow, Kerr Avon from Blake Seven. He's looking a little old these days, but he still has the voice. It gave me goosebumps listening to him.And you said, “ I’m Olly the Cat, you will most probably already know me from the Express & Star comments.”
You just know you did, didn’t you.?
Not often you see a dog wearing a shirt....Went on a cruise last summer for my 50th. On a day trip we were being told by the guide that to be considered as a new buyer wanting to own a property in Monte Carlo, you needed to show you had 5million euros (I think) in the bank.

But did Kerr Avon get goosebumps from meeting you?Nice one Shergar. My fame and reputation transcends international boundaries.

Great story..Out the back of the Victoria Pub on the beach at Borth...Came out with the drinks to see the wife and the two kids sat at a table with a Wolves fan(apparently there was no where left to sit,so the Wolves fan asked if they wanted to sit at his table). The mrs had no idea who he was as we sat talking about all things Wolves.
After an hour or so of swapping rounds and some great conversation,Rob the wolves fan had to leave as he had a plane to catch the next day(was flying over to the States to hook up with his girlfriend at the time) and wished us the best for the rest of our stay.
When he left the bride said "How do you know him...Is he one of your friends from Borth?"
I gave her the thousand yard stare,then had to explain who Robert Plant and Led Zeplin were.....
I know,and yes,we're still married!
We're everywhere and Nowhere baby.....Got this idea off the 30k attendance thread. So where's the 'strangest' places you've bumped into Wolves fans?
I had a proper example of a 'small world' on holiday when I bumped into a Wolves fan who I beat in a golf competition the week before but the strangest place was at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Sat on a hill on the Saturday with my dad, three lads sit behind us and start talking. They'd obviously met a few people on their trip over, one was talking about the fact he'd got a new business contact from his journey and then said to one of the others "What I don't understand is how you always meet Wolves fans!". His mate laughed and said "We're everywhere". Well I had my wallet and my wallet had my old Wolves membership card in it so got it out, turned around and said "You mean like this??". The Wolves fan started laughing and his mates couldn't believe it!
So we are EVERYWHERE!
Where's the strangest place you've met another Wolf?
This flag?The top of Table Mountain. Couple of lads asked us to take a photo of them with a Wolves flag, we said OK great if you could take a photo of us with it afterwards. Have bumped into one of them a few times since, top bloke. This was on the day of the damn-awful 0-0 draw with Algeria in 2010.
