shrimpers on holiday

[enfieldblue]

just come back from a very pleasant week in Lanzarote. was in this club watching female impersonators / drag act (which by the way was brilliant) and on the table next to me was not only one BUT TWO Blues supporters. We are taking over the world slowly, very slowly. AND - AND - was playing pool in a sports bar, wearing the shirt and a women says "you don't see many of them outside of Essex. A good Blues abroad holiday:smile:

Off to Myanmar in January, You never know who you might meet up the Irriwaddy or staggering around Rangoon? I set off once to some other far flung place, said my goodbyes to everyone, including Elsie the boss ( cleaner) flew to the farthest corner, crossed a sea to a small island for a midnight bar b Q, and then heard the dulcet tones of one Elsie saying is that you Barry? I swear tis true, the planet is now a tiny place, full of wondrous coincidences!

I'm in Tenerife now and watched the Mansfield goals on Sky TV which they have everywhere here. Look out for me in Playa da Americas tonight in my Southend polo shirt! Back in time for Jeff Stellings monkey hangers.

Put me down for next 3+ weeks in Malaysia. Missing 3 home matches, but hope to tune in to the web commentary. Never done that before, so hope I can sort out the technology.

Was lovely to meet up with a couple of fellow Shrimpers in a drag club haha, was quite surreal talking about Fossets farm and Ron martin etc whilst being flanked by 6ft2 cross dressers... cccsiders

Wife kids and I were in Zante in the summer. Across the pool my son said Dad a Southend badge. Could hardly be bothered to look as was sure he would be wrong. Turns out it was a really good family and the Dad and son are southend fans. Spent every night with them, really lovely people and helped make it a great holiday. He only sits in the west Altough still no seen him sadly at the Hall but what a good experience.

Brilliant ...... but you haven't said what you were selling/providing. Was it an anger management course?

Never fails, wear a Southend shirt and someone always says hello. A few years back got off train at Torremolinos and was immediately greeted by lady blues fan. Cornwall to Canary Islands proudly wearing a shrimpers shirt makes you mr popular.
