Other info:
Mr Stelling was sitting at the bar drinking shorts. Bandage will confirm the name of the alcohol he was consuming. He is very small. Stelling sat near two young English holidaymakers in their early 20s and spoke to them at length about football and his job. One of the holidaymakers was a young man. Every time he went out for a smoke or to the jacks Jeff started scoring the other one who was female. This continued for a few hours during the Spain v Portugal World Cup game on tv. Stevie and his mates found this very funny but it turned out that the two holidaymakers were brother and sister and therefore not romantically involved. Jeff did nothing while the brother was there though. At one stage the brother took a photo of the girl and Jeff. Jeff had his hand up the back of the girlâs top but the brother couldnât see this from his angle. Oh and the girl was heavy. Not enormous but a âbig girl.â
The English pair asked him about where they might go out clubbing or for more drinks but Jeff wasnât sure. Instead he invited them back to his apartment to finish the night off but they declined and left soon afterwards. At this point Stevie G and his mates considered approaching Jeff to chat to him but there was no need. Jeff just scooched along the bar to them. He dragged his stool with him and in his hand held onto a copy of this book:
Jeff continued to drink the same shots, refusing offers of drinks from Stevieâs mates because he had plenty of those shots left still. He had another half dozen drinks with the lads, speaking about football and his work for Sky. He informed them that Chris Kamara has had a number of job offers from high profile top English clubs but turned them down. He stated that he believes the English soccer team are overrated by themselves and by the media.
The next day Stevie and his mates were walking through the town and they saw Jeff again. He was still carrying a copy of his book in his hand.
The only bit I doubt is the book. Maybe heâd have it one time youâd see him for some unexplained reason but canât believe he was just carrying it around with him all the time. Especially not during the day when heâs sober. Heâs an intelligent enough fella.
That sounds like something the boys would throw in as an addition when theyâre locked. âjaysus he was so fond of talking about himself Iâm surpised he didnât have a copy of his autobiography with himâ.
The bus containing the Argentina football squad passed me by on Pearse Street around half an hour ago. It had a garda escort and it was a Bus Ăireann bus with âAFA Specialâ embazoned across the front but I couldnât really make out any of the players due to the speed with which it went past. They were all wearing white polo shirts though
Yup, and they ainât bitter. As long as its white rum being used, which is the only rum to be used in a mojito. Using black rum makes it a different drink , and youâve been had by the barman as black rum is cheaper, generally. Most places use brown sugar, but cane sugar is the best. Again, if some dickhead is pouring in white sugar, you are again being had, as this just dissolves at the bottom quickly.
I caught sight of this too Bandage. They cops escorting the bus were being right d!cks, they roared at some fella for not getting out of the way quick enough, why they canât just sit in traffic (or take the port tunnel) is beyond me, I really dislike this kind of special treatment being meted out.
In other news Roger Moore was drinking in Gorey last week.
I remember one Ireland match where Billo said that Souness would be along later as his flight had been delayed. Souness arrives eventually and thanks the Gardai for the escort.
saw this crap 2 weeks ago for the dublin football team trying to get out through drumcondra less than half an hour after the game and traffic wasnt moving and these power hungry cops going mental with people
