Nice story. The Portuguese woman who "screened" me was very beautiful too. Would've been nice to have a chat.
Did you show her your three-inch blade? |

I remember once being taken to one side by an incredibly pretty young French lady at Carcassonne airport as my baggage had be chosen for screening. Now me and the missus have two matching bags and thus when they go through and the labels are applied we don't really bother to make sure that the labels are on the right bags.
So I go into this room, and she opens my bag and finds it full of bras and knickers, she found it very amusing!

I had a similar experience in Spain, except it was a small case that held a weeks worth of my laundry, boxers etc. She didn't look to enthusiastically  Not you Horlock in a Shrews shirt?

Problem is there's a lot of damage to repair.... sort of thing from a couple of years back, my local ran a Christmas raffle to fund feeding the homeless at Christmas. Local and not so local businesses donoated some amazing prizes and a couple of grand was raised... however although Supermarine chipped in and FGR, nowt from STFC. A couple of regulars who go to matches were so disgusted with the club, they bought some tickets themselves and lobbed them in. Only a samll thing, but people notice. |

In your local, does the barman always know to serve your glass half-empty?  |

Operative here being that it was in the past. Current management can't change what happened previously. Impossible. What they can do is make moves to change things going forward. Which is exactly what the club are doing and we're STILL providing examples. You have just shifted the goalposts slightly from your original stance though. The one about "what are the club doing to engage fans..." (It's not a direct quote that I know you'll try to pull me up on. To yet again deflect but the wording is in the same catchment of which you previously had stated). So now instead of it being "What are the club doing..?", it's "But regardless of what they do now, look at what they never used to do?". Nice one. |

The club has an image problem. Doesn't matter so much for the hardcore, but there is a swathe of potential fans who could be reached if Power can get some forward momentum, so far in his tenure we've at best stood still in some areas and backwards in others. People notice this. It will be interesting to see if this weeks events have an effect on Saturday's gate. |
