    We won.

    Did we? I must have watched a different game.

    Maybe we drew - it was 22 years ago and I can't remember (my bad).
    You get a flag now for confessing you can't remember a footy score from 22 years ago ?
    Wow. tough crowd.
    You may have received it for (my bad).
    Yep, we can't be having that sort of language!
  • As a 15 year old, I once saved a penalty taken by Paul bracewell of Everton, (he was at my school a few years earlier and playing for the first team at the toffees )after that I got offered a trial at Bristol rovers which came to nothing.
  • Many years ago I scored a hat-trick for Swindon town juniors against Charlton Athletic juniors, the goalkeeper for Charlton that day was cafcdave123.

    I briefly dated Rachel Uchitel in 2003. Look her up if the name seems familiar.

    I was offered a trial at Charlton in 1967, but I didn’t turn up on the day.

    How did you know?
    No, I wrote asking for a trial when I was eleven. Was gobsmacked when they wrote back saying yes.

    Pretty much seems to be the criteria for our first team in big games so surprised you weren't offered a contract!

    I happened to be in Tallinn, Estonia when Charlton played QPR live on Sky in March 2000. I found a bar showing the match and ended up sitting at a large table near the TV with a group of mostly Estonian women. I started chatting with them after a bit and turns out they were models and make up artists who had just done a fashion show round the corner. Mostly tall, green eyed blondes at an average 9.5. After a bit they said they were leaving and would I like to go to a party. I said no thanks as I was watching the football. We won 2-1and were promoted soon after.

    I have no idea why this attracted 9 likes. I damn near gave you a flag.

    Must've been very briefly. Wiki says she married someone else in 2004.

    In 2005 my brother and I went to Paris on the Eurostar as part of the celebrations for his 40th birthday. While walking down towards the Eiffel Tower we noticed an event was going on as there were lots of flags, TV cameras and a large crowd of people. Heading over there we discovered that this was the finish line for the re-enactment of the Peking to Paris Vintage Car rally, which was being filmed by Australian TV. We accidently wandered into the VIP/press area and ended up standing next to the Australian Ambassador to France, Penny Wensley where we sipped champagne and talked to her about the event. Once the vintage cars had made it to finish line we mingled with the crowd, drivers and cars and posed for pictures sitting in many vintage cars. We appear in the DVD released in 2006 about the event.

    Reminds me.

    When I was 12 back in 1968 I was on holiday with parents in Northern Spain. I got friendly with a couple of French brothers Phillipe and Francois. We became pen pals and the following couple of Christmas times I visited them in Paris. Their father was a General in the French Army and was Director of the Military Academy in Paris. Mother taught French to the American diplomats at the American Embassy in Paris. Seems she taught the ambassador at the time Sargent Shriver. She used me as a conversation topic in the French conversations during his tutoring so he knew quite a lot about me. When I visited he insisted I go to lunch at the embassy for a chat. It was quite an experience for a 13 year old and I was given the whole treatment. Escorted by uninformed American soldiers and given the tour. At the end of the afternoon I was given a Stars and Stripes and tricolour joined flag and a really nice wooden American eagle. It’s something I will never forget.

    Shriver was charming and friendly. As an aside a couple of years later in 1972 he was the Democratic Party choice to run as Vice President to George McGovern which they badly lost to Richard Nixon. In 1976 he ran for the Presidential nomination for the Democrats but dropped out after the first primary.

    Ps. They had a gorgeous sister who was 18 who I had a crush on until about now actually.

    I googled her. It said she's keeping her door open for Tiger Woods. It didn't specify whether it was the front or back door though.

    Which lasted the whole of 4 months so doubt she was going out with them for long.

    I was stood outside an increasingly foul smelling toilet on a plane to America. It was absolutely hideous and I waited for 10 minutes at least. Finally it was over as I heard the flush and some shuffling. I prepared for the worst as I heard the lock move. I think I was expecting an overweight businessman. Instead I was greeted by the smiling face of Dame Vera Lynn.

    Did you sing “Wish me luck” to her as you passed on the way in?

    Sophie Ellis Bextor came over and spoke to me after she left the ladies toilet at an Elvis night in Victoria many years ago.
    Turns out one of her old school friends is a big Elvis fan and she invited her along, she was with her now husband from some band or other.
