Edinburgh - February 2003


Although there is an extensive spotters panel, and only 5 were present, Edinburgh will be remembered as a Spotter Tour!!

Top Ten Reasons Why:


10. For legal reasons only four words can be used!! - "Mick Shower Daniel Enter"

 

9. Seeing four Irish men push another "volunteer" down a hill in the middle of the city on a bar stool with wheels!! They could have got a speeding ticket!!

 

8. In Finnegans Wake seeing the look on the english bouncers face when asked 'how big exactly is the queens dick?'

 

7. Having the funniest man alive, and this no exaggeration, as a taxi driver home from town and made him wait till we got ready so he could bring us back in again to the funniest one liners and stories we have ever heard in succession!!.....

 

6. Again legal reasons apply but the story involves 4 squad cars and eight police-officers!!

 

5. Walking down one street with all these pub names- The Bad Ass, Dirty Dicks, Filthy Mc Nasties. (the latter of this establishments were visited to a £1.50 a pint all day bender) ......

 

4. Mick not quiet being able to enjoy his pint due a strippers breast taking up all the space inside the glass.

 

3. A game of rugby with a lettuce in the murrayfield bar; post match celebrations followed!!.....

 

2. Being locked out of the accommodation and having to form a drunken human pyramid to launch Peter Burke through the second story window!! An awesome athletic feat which demonstrated how physics can sometimes be defied!!

 

1. Yes it is the one the only Peter Burke who claims top spot; maybe the only man in history to pull a bird in a strip-club who is not a stripper, the club being called the Ward and Burke, the Area being called the Pubic Triangle and on his birthday!!! Ladies and Gentlemen the bookies already have him pencilled in as ToTy for 2003.....

Quote from the Guestbook - 19/Feb/03:
"i went over to Edinburgh on a mission...to erradicate the isolation I felt
before/during/ and after the toty awards 2002..not 1 vote or honourable mention...
i return as a legend...this is how it was supposed to be!!!"


other honourable mentions are:

* trevor swan diving to the ground just feet from the apartment and ripping his trendy Tommy jeans!!


* drinking pints in a pub for hours with pants around ankles and the youngest member of the party suggesting "lets take this to the next level"


* seeing how a certain man still not mature from his escapades on an ice-cream truck leave to home early on to let the rest of the party find an art like stacking of tables, chairs, pots, kitchen utensils and an iron board lining and blocking the whole hallway to the apartment!

* having trevor, the man who only last autumn was told to leave the country now being told he is "a disgrace to his country" by a dub!

 

....and oh yeah seeing Ireland beat shite out their celtic counterparts 36 - 6 !
