Mr Sifter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 When in your car, do you honk at any fellow Jambos you might see in the street? I do. Have done for years now. I give them the thumbs up, or the clenched fist, and nine times out of ten I get a smile back. Not always tho! So I've decided to start this comprehensive list of all the JKB'ers who have cracked on to strangers, who happen to be Jambos. So if you've never done this before, start now! And log your observations here. Your post should include..... The date and time. Where you were. What the reaction was. For example..... Thursday 5th June - 4.00pm. Honked at a Jambo on Old Dalkeith Road, just by Little France The guy looked confused, but waved back anyway!!! Hopefully if we can build up a list, fellow JKBers can come on here and find out who the hell it was that tooted at them yesterday!!! Alternatively.........this might sink like a stone:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 My mate did it in Prague, every time we walked past a group of Jambos he'd say "Alrite boys!". I suppose he was just being friendly but after a while I said "You don't have to say hiya to everyone!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevmacd Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I wear a shirt & tie to work most days (like a lot of folk) and so wouldn't be recognised for the Jambo I am (I would wave, on the odd occasion that I'd be spotted in my Hearts shirt/scarf...which would only really be on matchdays). As it also tends to be kids that wear their shirts 24/7, this could possibly get someone a bad rep for honking and waving at kids! Maybe we could develop a jambo 'walk' to make it easier to recognise each other? I suggest something which looks aloof and superior to your non-Hearts supporting Edinburgh punters. You'd be able to tell Hobo's easier - nae socks, shoes that don't match, hungry & homeless sign, drinking from brown paper bag, hanging around public toilets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonlegions Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 not long after the big cup win in 98 i was walking at the start of gorgie road wearing my cup winners t-shirt , this car came along and sitting in it were Neil Mcann and Jim Hamilton ,i just gave them a big grin and the thumbs up, they responded with a smile and a wave.

Dr. Bapswent Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I suggest a big get together to allow all like minded jambos to meet. We'd need a large area or stadium though. My estimate is that somewhere with around 17000 seats would be big enough. Probably best to find one in the West side of town, somewhere like Gorgie, where there are a large congregation of Jambos. Timing would be important, as many people work, and that kinda rules out weeknights. So id think the weekends are better. Also, some people have kids, and others like to go out in the evening, and lets not clash with lunch, so early evening might be the best sort of time So if ive got this right.... We could all meet up in somewhere like Tynecastle stadium, at about 3pm on a saturday. Anyone up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is going to be enough of us, we should probably organise some entertainment. How about a sports event...? Also, If we all pick something distinctive to wear, we could all recognize each other better. How about a scarf? A stripy one...Id pick Maroon and white but im open to suggestions.

redm Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I used to have a bad habit of smiling eagerly at people who were driving the same car as me...had to be the same colour too obviously, I'm not a weirdo... Or maybe I just act less like one now that I tend to use the bus instead. But I love the idea of a Jambo walk. For those of us who don't drive much during the week, it would also be good to have some sort of greeting to exchange...just to check that we're not mistaking the 'Jambo walk' for something else. Some people just walk funny for the sake of it, y'see. Waving is too common, high fives are too cheesy...we need something specially designed for Jambo use only...

Captain America Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Once was driving back from Oasis gig at SECC with Hearts scarf on parcel shelf, as drove along road spotted Stephen Simmons with his missus, at the time he was prob our worse player so i done the right thing and honked and shouted my usual Saturday afternoon chant to him. " Your Sh*te Simmons" Few months later he left which i take full credit for, anyone no if Scissor Sisters are touring and can do the same to Clum.
