Now we all Love the big guy and we don't want him to feel sad here..nor do we want him to go..so I'm starting a thread..where you can put in jokes.ancedotes, funny rants or pictures..anything that'll give the Quakester a good ole chuckle,
so here goes for my first effort
time to reveal the infamous Manchester visit I happened to go on when I was 17..it was a bus trip set up by my fathers local pub to go and tour Old Trafford..home of Manchester United the soccer team
Well..first.the bus driver got lost and well we found this pub in ..the Moston Area of Manchester (which is nowhere near Old Trafford) and basicly stayed there..well most of em did..some went into the city centre (more on that later) but my father my brother and I decided to try and get to Old Trafford ourselves..
All I can say is its one hell of a hike..via the city centre..we got here..look us about 2 hours at least..the think is its so big you can see it miles away..so you are constantly thinking "its just around the corner".we got there but it had shut..but we got stuff at the Team shop, which wasn't too bad
Back to the lads from the city centre (after they gambled and hires prostitutes etc) but they returned with a Manchester guy who looked like Noel Gallagher from the Britsh Band Oasis (well he had the same haircut anyway) apparently he was out to get a gift for his wife in the city centre when the guys hijacked him and brought him to the pub, nothing wrong with that you say, well he lived in the other side of Manchester entirely, anyway they bought drinks for him the whole night and gave him cigarrettes (he never needed to pay for anything)..but was expected to dance n stuff whenever an Oasis track came on the juke box (I'm not making this up..and they contantly called him "Noel"..no-one knew his real name )
on top of that some of the guys were having their way with the local ladies, if it wasn't for the fact that she had to go with her mum somewhere I cpoulda been in there with a local girl..but I impressed her so much she gave me her signed pic of David May (a guy who was playing for Manchester United at the time..she knew his lil cousin),
anyway by the time the pub shut we shoulda been leaving..but the Bus Driver had went AWOL..turned out he was invited into the home of the mother of the girl I was talking to for a bit of ..well..need I say more? but we were still down 3 guys..one turned up with a local woman in tow and was for taking her on the bus (no problem..expect he was married) well..it got to a point we hads to leave..we stranded 2 guys down there (and from what I heard they were being accomodated by very accomodating women that night)
anyway on the road me we stopped off at a roadside cafe..you know those coffe pots with the plunger things..a guy tried to drink outta one of those with the plunger still up..took him 15 minutes to figure out you push the plunger down and pour it into a cup.thats how drunk he was
but spare a thought for poor "Noel"..think of it..imagine you came staggering home..a whole day late after going out to get a simple thing..and saying " a buch of Scotsmen hijacked me..give me drink and cigs all night and refused to let me leave"..would YOU believe him???
I'm sure you guys have ways of cheering the big guy up too
