Ah, I lived in North Wales (AKA "the unfriendly bit"). It's odd as I am actually English, but probably switched over my support to Wales as I went to the same school as Gary Speed (not at the same time) and I also had a weird obsession with Ian Rush as a child (he had a moustache, so I assumed he must be some sort of clone of my dad!)
I think you must have the gift of the gab, Claud!
Little MIkey Owen. I wonder what ever happened to him?![]()
It was a heady night.
Miss Tilly, I can confirm that la belle Claudine can indeed talk and is occasionally coherent.
In which case, you also went to the same school as Michael Owen. And my ex. Hang on, you're not my ex, are you?![]()
Don't forget Andy Dorman!
Well I was the year above Michael Owen, I try not to mention this as it makes my life's achievements seem even crappier!
Depends who you are!
PS Well done on not making the crappy Double entendre that everyone makes when they hear where I'm from....
I find the same out here in the Wild West. All down to Sky's wall to wall coverage of the EPL. Most youngsters adopt an English team as their own, mostly one of the regular Champion's League participants and so some of their favourite players are England internationals.I was in the bar in Swansea Student Union. They don't like to draw attention to it, but lots of Welsh folk down this way quietly support England when it comes to football, though obviously quite the opposite with rugby. Mind you, I speak as someone who persuaded a German friend to wear an England shirt for the '98 World Cup. She even cried when England went out, despite a soft spot for Batistuta.
Crikey. I know that she was one or two years above Michael Owen. Speaking of whom, he sat by us in the Crown & Liver once...so unless you remember that, it seems that we've not met!
