Just spent a week or so in Hartlepool with the asian other half and i tell you what, what a week!
Ive no time for worrying if ive got my full stops in the right place or spel checking, this is from the heart (ok. ok. aided by a couple of lagers)
for a long time being somewhat of an expat i have always been very quick to rubbish Hartlepool as a town, (but have always defended the team)
However going round the marina was fantastic, (i even did the tour at the Quay, it was brilliant) i know its been there for a couple of years now but, ive never been before.
we stayed in seaton and it was genuinly a pleasure to open the curtains on a morning and look out onto seaton beach (even typing it doesnt seem right)
the people were so friendly and welcoming that my girl friend cried when she left (and for the first time i wasnt far behind her) ................ohh to the lad that shouted "love you long time", and "can i have chips with that".get some decent patter will yer (actually when it happennned i thought theres that fooking chip fireball fella at it again)

i met the lads i was in a band with a few (using the term lightly)years ago!
had some fantastic fish and chips (its all the stuff you take for granted i guess)
and then to the pools game against southampton

Started in the Mill where wor lass said and honest to god this is true, "OHH somebody has the same scarve as me"

The staff at pools had been informed that we were coming and i was gob smacked, they put us in the board room with Mr Ken and Mr strachen was there as well. got our pic took with angus (ok i know its a suit but the other half didnt) it was her first footie match and she was looking for david Becham

the best bit for me was when Kenny johnson came over and said "excuse me son, two things, is she japenese? and have i seen you before?
I explained to kenny, she was from Korea and also that he had seen me many times before a few years ago, i sponsored lot of games, Frankie baggs etc etc and then i said. my mam and dad are (or dad was) xxxxx
and he replied " oh what a wonderfull fella" etc
Which was just brill for me cos he was my dads favourite player..........we then went on to discuss how we thought my dad and tony parry would be sat up there discussing tonights game, in the back of my mind i was thinking Tony Parry would would be saying to my dad "are you the old b'stard that said i could never jump"

Thats it other than to say i met groovie and poolie mad (nice to see you again)...........honest i could type for ages, but im not

thanks everyone and you know who you are when i say it

Thanks for reading, really dont care if you get it.it was just a big sound off !!

Arrived back in Abu dhabi, KLM have lost my luggage, girl friends gone back to Korea, and its EID or something here and all the bars are shut....reallity check!

What are you apologising for out of interest?

If OO you could possibly manage to fucking read, i said (after about 3 fooking lines ive always been quick to rubbish HARTLEPOOL, thanks for fucking the the thread and thanks for reminding me why i fucking did rubbish it in the first place................right next sussex???

Don't be too hard on him Mr Parry, it's not easy training a village idiot to the level we've achieved with OO. Which isn't saying very much at all.

someone shouted that to me in hartlepool when i was with the ex in town who is half chinese and jap.

Very glad the missus had a good time and that she enjoyed the town.

OO im sorry i genuinly apologise, i just finished writing a very heart felt post, and you asked me a question. which sorry mate i bit! no need

Cheers she did, but then when i told her Becham wasnt here, she said "well i need to see kev, he hasnt had me!" whats all that about ....................cue

I'm just across the Bohou Gulf.... I forgot to mention that to her...

Seriously though, I'm glad you both had a good time and I always say, if ever....it'll be Hartlepool.

It was good to meet you Mr Parry,glad you enjoyed your stay

OI PARRY WHERES ME FECKIN JACKETC

Tw@t

You Sir met Mr Poolymad not poolie mad and yes it was good to see you again,glad you enjoyed your stay back home.

Bet Mr Parry and your dad was looking down on Tuesday and chewing the fat about his statement that he could not jump,I can hear Dick laughing now .

I miss your dad so much as he was a rock when I needed someone to be there and your mam too.

Come back soon and bring your lady now she knows the rules about a proper footy match.
