chester copperpot Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have to share the experience I had last night. Was fortunate enough to book my holidays to Benidorm prior to the Euro Championships. I went into a bar yesterday with my Spanish top on, and asked the barman if there were going to be any Spanish in that particular bar that evening. He said unfortunately yes, thinking I didn?t want to spend my company with them. I explained that I wanted to sit with Spanish folk, and not your typical Brits, he kind of took me under his wing and invited me to spend the evening with him and his friends, as he finished working at 7pm. Went and met him, and had the best night (Party wise) of my life. When I explained that I had about 200 Euro?s coming to me if Spain won, him and his friends said I would be their friends for life for having the belief to back Spain. Anyway, became a Spanish citizen last night, cried with my new found mates at the final whistle. The guys were amazing, never let me buy a round all night. Have a hazy memory of leaving the pub, we hopped in one of the guys cars (the guy driving was teatotal). I was out the roof with my new found Spanish mate (His name was Miguel) and we were waving Spanish flags out the roof of this guys car. We all did a tour of benidorm in a procession like fashion, before heading down to the beach to have the mother of all parties. By the end of the evening, I was sharing a bottle of woodpecker with one of the local policemen, who seemed to be a bit worse for wear, but wasn?t caring either. I taught the whole group of my new found friends the Hearts song, and gave them a Scarf that I had in my bag (The *****e one from the semi again the Huns) to kick off their newly found Hearts supporters club. Well folks, not really any point to that, but it was one of the few ?Feel good?moments of my life that I felt I need to share with as many people as possible. Viva Espana.

Spent about an hour trying to convince him he was a gloryhunter, and should support his local team (which I could not name as I was a bit Lillian?d). I forgave him though when he promised that Hearts would be his second team and he?d follow their results each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deek Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I was in Spain during Euro 96 Andy. Spain were playing England and I went to a Spansih bar in Javea to watch the game. They thought I was English no matter how many times I said I was Scottish and wanted them to get it right up them. Even when they got knocked out, still thinking I was English they put there hands out offering me congratulations. Great guys even when they get beat. Glad they won last night.

Yeh, Miguel is a really, really nice lad. The policeman sharing the Woodpecker, did he offer the Indian and the construction worker a swally also? Bet the "craic" was good!
