About 25 years ago I was walking out of school at the end of the day. The weather had really turned, it was very cold and very wet. What made it worse was that I didn't have a jacket with me. It really was a freaky weather incident.

One of the fellow children I associated with at the time offered me his hat to wear and keep me warm. I rejected this offer without hesitation.

Now my walk home was a long one, and the weather became increasing my severe. As I got home I collapsed through the door. I thought I had picked up a cold or flu or some such illness and crawled up my stairs and into bed.

Naturally, I don't remember passing out, but I do remember waking up in Hospital. Basically, on my journey home I had picked up hyperthermia. Now, you may think that's highly unlikely and you'd be right to do so. Sadly, I have a hereditary heart and kidney illness that means when I get sick, I get really really sick due to my immune system not working correctly. No, it's not HIV or AIDS, but it's not too far off. To allow my body to recover j had to be sedated for a week. My body, during this time was being pumped with drugs to effectively save my life. It is what I imagine chemotherapy to be like - effectively your body is being poisoned to kill an infection. Of course, this was happening to me while I was asleep, so all it gave me was a week long bad dream/nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. When I did, I puked up every meal. It was. Month before I was able to successfully eat again.

I ended up taking three months off school, which sounds great, but I missed so much and because was year 10, I had to set my Mock exams at the end of the year. Essentially, I lost my summer to intensive school work. I was far from 100% fit at the time, so I was overworked, had survived a dice with death, and had lost my summer to school work whilest all my friends were off partying. Worst of all, the family holiday to Florida went ahead ..... without me. My sister got to take a friend instead because I couldn't go. My life sucked beyond measure at this point.

It was sometime in late August, during my mock exams, just before school started again, and while my family were in Florida, and while I was still feeling particularly poorly as I had done for the previous 6 months, and wondering what all my friends had been doing all summer that I thought to myself ... "maybe I should have worn the Woolwich hat" ... But I instantly dismissed the idea and have felt nothing but shame for ever even considering it.
 
Not to do with me but a family I knew growing up, when the dad died (Arse fan) one of his sons (Spurs fan) had to put on an Arse top for the day as one of the dads final wishes.

Love my dad but he's a West Ham fan, hope when his time comes I don't have to put a hammers shirt on. Got an imagine of my dad one day on his bed saying there is something I need you to do when I am gone then handing me a full West Ham kit.
Your Dad: Son, before I go I have one request...please...wear my West Ha.....

Disloyal? I don't know maybe, but who hasn't stopped watching or left early ever? Serves me right for doing so in a NLD. It certainly still is a huge regret for me.
Me.

I can honestly say that I've never left WHL early, nor do I turn us off when watching TV just because we're losing. If I'm honest, I don't understand that mentality.
 
Don't know if it's disloyal because I'd imagine a lot of yiddos feel the same way, but I've always had a really hard time hating Henry. He was a magnificent player and is pretty chill on tv.

Shame he had to play for that cunting lot.
Great player, but I think he's shit on TV, a load of pseudo intellectual bull. And the handball v Ireland. Nah.
 
Most of you won't get this but here goes - I used to be a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan. They last won the Stanley Cup in 1967. I hated the Montreal Canadiens. After 1967, particularly the 70s & 80s, the Leafs became so shit to watch, I started supporting the Canadiens, who became a really exciting team to watch.

This would be akin to switching allegiance from the Spurs to the Goons.

wore claret n blue cufflinks to the funeral of a spammer mate. it was a request he made before he died..that everyone wore claret n blue.
couldnt wear a tie or scarf, obviously. Didnt wanna risk cockrot by wearing pants in those colours, so cufflinks it was.

Dated a gooner once. didnt tub her up the botty, but did spaff on her tits several times.
Tied her up with blue and white bar scarf once.
she also had me do some unspeakable things, of which i shall say no more. suffice to say i stood in a corner and said nothing for two hours during, and two more after
 
Sitting in the Allianz Arena watching the Audi Cup. My mate turned to me and said: "That Dele Alli is pretty decent" My reply "Doubt he'll get a game this season"
 
Not quite. Can any geezer on this forum explain why only 17,000 people were attending matches at WHL in the 1970s when the stadium had a capacity of 56,000? I have the programs. What were the other 40,000 people doing? I always wondered about that.

(In late August 1967, I was there to see Spurs demolish the Hammers 5-1 in front of the largest crowd of that season.)

Can any 'geezer' tell me why this has been flipped into a fucking ice hockey thread?

Really don't think I'd be on a baseball forum talking about rugby??

Not sure 98% of yanks/Canadians get what this game is about..really I don't.

Just a bit of fun, hopefully......

Some things I must get off my chest.

I have a Woolwich mortgage. Every invoice is a double bastard to receive.

I have a red car. It was the Ferrari effect (it's not a Ferrari). But I am sorry.

To compensate, my dog is white (not racist). And my 2nd daughter is called Lily.

Anything you need to get off your chest?

And I don't mean any " I don't mind Woolwich that much actually" thank you VERY much.
