congo 0 Posted September 20, 2006 [6]Well, after listening to years of grief, and in celebration today of my ninth wedding Anniversary, I thought it was about time to come clean and perhaps find some closure on a situation that I have to admit I brought on myself.As I said, nine years ago today, I stood at the alter with.......................................an ear piece in, listening to the Man. City v Norwich game, of which we eventually went on to win 2-1. First win up there in 25 years I believe. Yes, that little radio, the size of a 50 pence piece lasted all the way through the service, and the drive to the reception. Even the chance of a ride in a 150 grand Bentley Turbo to the Hotel was unappealing in comparison to a away day win (very rare these days!). Unfortunately, it was at this point my trailing wire was discovered and the game was up. If this wasn''t enough, during the speeches, I was so excited about our emphatic win, I announced the final result and forgot to thank the wife! So, what I''d like to here from you guys is, A, do I deserve to be forgiven after so many years of ear ache?And B, how far have you gone to either listen to the game, or done something you later regretted in the name of all things yellow?P.s Also sacked the window cleaner because he wore an Ipswich hat. Don''t regret this, as he wasn''t any good and was probably casing the joint (allegedly!)--------------------------------------------------------CHASE OUT!!

canary cherub 1 Posted September 20, 2006 Congo, I''m afraid it''s a bit like Delia''s "Let''s be avin'' you" rant. You''ll never live it down. (Delia''s moment was at a Man City game too - what is it about them . . .?)If I was Mrs Congo I would look on it as a lifetime supply of flowers and choccies guaranteed!

congo 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Cheers for the vote of confidance Mystic!! I was hoping for a few sympathetic replies to bring her round a bit, but so far to no avail. Looks like years of pennance.Strange about Man city though, i think we''ve only beaten them a couple of times since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaries for Ever 0 Posted September 20, 2006 No need for pennance.I''m a SHE and was married 31 years ago (TODAY also). It was Norwich v Leicester & we had the reception at the Grange so we could hear the crowd if we scored. Our vicar wouldn''t stay for the reception as he was going to the game!

congo 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Converting her?!???! The only game I managed to con/ get her to go to, was the 4-4 draw with Midlesborough and she was bored! So, as you can see, mine cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I don''t suppose she''s winding you up by any chance Congo?Just imagine what might have happened. Vicar: "Do you take this woman . . .?" At that precise moment City miss a sitter. Congo: "NOOOOO!" I reckon you''ve got off lightly mate.I can''t come anywhere close to your misdemeanour, but I''m not very proud of the fact that during the UEFA Cup second leg at CR, when Bayern equalised I couldn''t bear the tension any more so I turned the telly off and went for a walk round the block. It worked though, because by the time I came back Gossy had done it again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,332 Posted September 20, 2006 Congo wrote about his wedding day ----- 10/10 for style there son, make no mistake---- and added as a footnote that, " Also sacked the window cleaner because he wore an Ipswich hat, etc " After two complete " no away win " seasons, 1977/79, I happened to marry an Ipswich girl ( obviously with no interest in football ) on the very day City triumphed 4-2 at Everton on 18th August 1979.For some reason which escapes me I couldn''t attend the match myself but somehow I''ve still forgiven her...... mind you if she''d been wearing an Ipswich hat I''d have sacked her on the spot too !!

LinkNR9 0 Posted September 20, 2006 It could have been worse; your Best Man could have been listening in, Congo, and shouted "Get In There, my Son!" when we scored. What do you think the congregation would have made of that!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splendid Rush 2 Posted September 21, 2006 I''m not sure how much I can say here, but I had this female ''aquaintance'' whom I had built a casual relationship with. One day after visiting her, she mentioned that she was an... well, you know... one of them. I felt so dirty that I stood up, walked out of her house, deleted her number and never saw her again. Honest truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
