every second delay is edging towards a IOTM nomination
It may have been built up too much now but it went like this:
Fairclough, Kennedy, Bruce Grobelarr, and two new kids on the scene were on a preseason tour with Liverpool somewhere in Europe. These were the days when the preseason tour consisted of nothing only a big piss up. The boys had got seperated from the main group and were now well passed their curfew when they stumbled upon a seedy looking bar down a side street.
In the boys went anyways, ordered a few drinks, and were sitting there for about 15 minutes when the lights went out and the place was in darkness, after a few seconds the lights came back on and on a stage in corner of the bar was a very hot naked lady, then two naked males appeared on stage and put on a sex show for 10 minutes. This happens a couple of more times and the boys were loving it.
Eventually Kid A hatches a plan. He says to the lads, that the next time the lights go out they should strip off and be waiting on stage for the bird to appear and then they’d ride her instead of the professionals. The boys agreed it was a fantastic plan, so 10 mins later the lights go out, queue lots of shuffling etc, lights come back up, but Fairclough looks around and there’s everyone still sitting at the table except for Kid A who is starkers on the stage with a rose in his mouth making a go for the bird!!
He said they all got a kicking off the bouncers but it was worth it.
That’s class.

Do Not Say I Didn’t Warn You!!!

I shouldn’t have bowed to your peer pressure.
Who: REM vocalist Michael Stipe
Where: Middle Abbey Street, Dublin (between the junctions with Liffey Street and Jervis Street)
When: circa February/March 1997
I was on the left hand side of the top deck of a 25A bus, which had just departed from the old departure point outside what is now the Academy nightclub. The bus was quite sparsely populated as it was about 1:30pm on a Wednesday afternoon. I looked down to the pavement and spotted Stipe walking westwards, in the same direction as the bus. The bus then stopped at the traffic lights at the intersection of Middle Abbey St and Jervis St., whereupon I was able to look down as Stipe passed the now stationary bus to confirm that it was in fact him.
Stipe was, I think, wearing a black t-shirt, which probably left him a bit under dressed on an early spring day. He was not wearing shades which enabled the immediate recognition.
Who: Aston Villa manager Tiger Tim Sherwood

Where: Roundstone, Co. Galway

Any other business: I was in a car which was driving through Roundstone one evening and saw Quinn and his wife leisurely walking on the street.

He couldn’t even post it in the correct thread.
That spot should be struck from the records.
