Why do ...........................

[ScillyRed]

People go on holiday in football apparel ?

I had a middle aged couple at the humble craft fair yesterday in matching 'his and hers' Reading FC anoraks. I politely asked them if they were wearing them for a bet and how had they got through our island quality control procedures ? On finding who I supported, he said he wondered why I had grazed knuckles (the significance of this went well over my head at the time) especially as I didn't ! It turned out they used to go when at Elm Park so we accepted we both had a problem but they were deluded ! Funnily enough they did not buy anything 

Do you & why - discuss

It's probably the only time i wear my town top! Wore one in Australia a few years back, I loved people recognising it and others asking who i supported. My mate was lucky enough to go last years Champions League final and in a bar in Rome, some lads came up to him and said hello, because they too were town supporters and recognised the top, although i suppose football based events don't count!

When you get to a certain age football shirts should be reserved for the house, gardening, football (playing or watching) and at a push the local but only when there’s football on.

Not one for stereotyping anyone but aside from wearing dungarees and engraving a swastika on my forehead or cracking one off under my burgh-a (so named after the noise I make)  I can’t think of another garment when worn outside of the above that draws judgement from others.  Albeit less severe and quite a good range of judgements.

Burgh-aaaaaaaaahhh

I've not once yet met a Reading fan who wasn't there during the Elm Park days - allegedly.  In pretty much the same way you'll never meet a French octogenarian who wasn't a member of the Resistance.

I have a banker and he'd never heard of Andy Gurney.  After that I spat at him and then had a burgh-ahhh on his jacket while he was at the bar.

It was me to de-censor those who choose to not swear. The trouble is people write c**t, but in the filters section it sees * as a wildcard so matches any 2 letters! That's my fun ruined. My other portion of fun is a filter for the football club stolen from Wimbledon.

Or a Franchise fan who wasn't a Wimbledon supporter, or a Man U fan who hasn't "always supported them like the rest of my family."

And just to name drop in regard to the resistance, my Great Grandad was one of the reasons France was the way it was, because he supported the Nazis, or something like that. At least that's what my late Grandad often told me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Etienne_Bonnet

Franchise, Franchise (testing, testing)

EDIT: Ha, nice one Barry. Although it should replace them with "Liars, cheats and thieves" or "Despicable club-stealing shitehawks"
