I was ko'd by an accordion player in Poland! :)

 

I was also headline news at the World cup in Paris 98, on the eve of the first game the opening ceremony included a big street march with floats for every Country taking part, it quickly turned into a riot on the champs elysees when a load of North Africans started throwing bottles and bricks at the police, it was all good viewing for a while till the police decided to baton charge the crowd where I was standing, as I was with 50 ASC it didn't go down well so we joined the Africans against the police. The main image on Sky and BBC news was me at the front with a bottle in hand goading the police, didn't go down well with my work but my mates at home were all hitting the record button on their VHS players.

 

Half an hour of dodging rubber bullets and throwing CS cannisters back at the police was great fun, we even used the crowd barriers to block off the champs elysees to stop the police getting too us. The down side was 2 of our side were lifted and were front page news in all the red tops and local papers, they had press camped at their houses for a couple of days, the first arrests of the World cup, disgrace to the nation etc etc.

 

Pretty stupid getting involved when I look back but hey ho, shit happens. That was the first day of 3 weeks of chaos, great holiday. :laughing:

Getting forcibly removed from the White House by a Secret Service agent would be my highlight.

 

Also have a habit of almost dying:

slipped off a cliff at Cape of Good Hope

Went to feed baby cheetahs and tigers in South Africa and walked into the wrong enclosure - the adult Bengal tiger closure. Luckily they were eating a deer leg and I eventually heard the cries of the workers 'NO NO YOU WILL DIE, YOU WILL DIE'

Went for a walk through a park in Kosovo, came back to be told that I was a fucking idiot as it still had landmines in it.

Almost drowned in the Red Sea off Jordan and had to be rescued, very embarrassing. (That was the day we lost to QOTS, I remember it well)

This time last year I was held at knife point in Barcelona by some guy who, thanks to the racist cops, is now in jail for 31/2 years.

Getting searched at Genoa airport and convincing the cops in Italian that I only smelled of weed because I smoked a big one before getting on the plane because I was a nervous flyer. (I'm not a nervous flyer but it sounded plausible)

Got on the airport bus with a dude afterwards who had also been searched and while he was explaining that he had left his weed with a friend in London, I removed a 16th of hash from my sock.

 

"Oh you had!" he exclaimed

 

Then my missus removes another 16th from her bra and says "Yea me too"

 

Was a bit of a rush but I would never attempt anything so stupid ever again.

This type of thinking seems to be ingrained in most on here... :sherlock:

 

lol.gif I was just joking. I knew he could outrun me because he was male, is that better.

 

 

How did he get caught?

 

Was it your description of him to the police; black wiry hair, flat big nose with huge nostrils, a bit smelly?

 

I gave a location and he was still there. Next day police came around with pictures to identify him, day after that a line up and trial, day after that I flew home. A few weeks later I got a letter saying he'd been jailed for 3 1/2 years. First time offence too.

So while you were tucking into your turkey dinner the poor wee lad was probably getting gang raped by his cellmates, all for trying to feed his kids.

Its not really racist when it's just casual racism.

I've suggested that Broon (old) "casually" picks Langfield ahead of Broon (fat) and been met with a torrent of abuse...what's happening?...ok for a bit of a laugh but when an old bugger appears to be going a bit further it's not ok... :nutter: ...Fatty Broon must stay

I was in a pub in Bergen wearing my favourite pumas with orange laces. This gadgie who looked like a typical student came up to and said "hey you've orange laces too, great!". I replied "wow, we're best friends" then walked off.

 

Also in a pub in Houston this gadgie starts talking to me and asks my name once he finds out I'm Scottish. Turns out we had the same surname and he goes (with serious fervour and excitement) " wow, we have the same name. We're related!!!!!". I went for a piss and left.

Blootered in Amsterdam following dons pre season, somehow ended up staying at some boat hotel. it was late and our last night if the tour, We had acquired some flares and decided to let some off near the boat. Next thing a cop car comes racing down the other side if the street, boy with me was an adeen based cop and legged it back to the boat, presumably fearing end if career if caught. Cop car drove back up our side but place was engulfed in smoke so they couldn't see a thing. At time thought it was funny as fuck but now I'm older and know what foreign cops are like it was a real moby moment.

Olomouc match was in the bar when it got 'attacked' and tear gas launched in, that was a fun night.

 

Kavos, first night tanned too much wine, knocked myself out and ended up at the other side of the island, managed to get back climb a balcony and get a chair to sit on, the next night stuck the head in some English boy that had done that to my mate, also got chased from local mafia who owned the big club there, not a fan of people taking their signs off the walls.

 

Bulgaria in August last year got followed by a pimp so had to do a runner before getting attacked, also ended up in the dodgy casino that you are warned against, had one of the workers come towards me with his hand on his gun after they ripped me off on a bet.

Was detained for being illegally in Qatar. Included the phrase "it is not ok for you".

 

Started on by a nazi in poland at student halls trying to ride my way into 2008 (think it was).

 

Guy pulled a knife on me... poland again.

 

Scrapping where my bro chucked a guy over a bar....poland.

 

Told to go to the hospital and tell them "it's is an emergency for you" by medical staff then them not bother at hospital because I didn't have the right card... poland.

 

Edit: Not till you list these thing that you see the themes.

 

Minimal hijinks in Madrid, nearly bottled (missed me).
