How many of you Gooners are actually from London?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Glad you've mentioned that, my mum reckons she had to wait for him for ages to get out of cubicle (there was only one cubicle in ladies loo in 70es apparently)...and weirdest bit is, nobody could tell that he's bloke :shock: :wink:

Did I mention my first word was: Arse!
I think there was 2 originally but they had to get rid of one cos some chubby bloke kept drilling in a hole in the side & sticking his willy through. Not that it was ever big enough to make it all the way to the other cubicle, but he got terrible splinters.
Fucking health and safety pc bollocks :D :wink:
What does Spuddy's former career as a plod have to do with it? :?

:lol:

Spuddy was on duty that day. He wandered into the cubicle at just the moment that the "chubby bloke" was trying to get his llittle soldier, through the death trap that was the poorly drilled hole.

I think that's right. :oops: :shock: :lol:

Except their son went weird after suffering a terrible loss at the Baccarat tables in an illegal game with King Edward VII and ended up supporting Spurs but now I have reclaimed the family heritage and will even tattoo the club logo on my appendage but it might not be such a big tattoo but it is the tattoo that matters not the size.

IHH - I love Sicily! Have been twice (Letojanni) am thinking of returning this year any suggestions? (assuming you have spent time back there . . . )
Sorry mate but I can't really recommend anywhere as I was about 5 years old the last time I went back there with my parents. :cry: As I've spent nearly all my life here, I consider myself English/British (unless I'm handing out threats, in which case I revert to Sicilian!! :wink: ). 8) :lol: :wink:

My Grandad (Mum's Dad) was born in Woolwich in 1901, apparently within a couple of streets of the Royal Arsenal, where our great Club was founded.

Family legend said for years that he was a very good player and that he played for The Arsenal just after the War but I know now that wasn't true. Just before she died my Mum gave me some old team pictures (1920 and 1921) that show him playing for Blackheath and they are holding some impressive silverware. Hopefully the bit about him being a good player was true.

I was born in Lewisham so it was a straight-forward choice between Millwall and Manchester United.

Luckily I chose Arsenal!!!! :barscarf: :barscarf:

Born in St Thomas' hospital. The other side of the river from the Houses of Parliament. So I'm a Sarf Londoner. But only just. :wink:

Mono, I imagine there has been a similar thread on RedCafe?

If so, what excuses were given?

My mum once went out with a man from Manchester?
I once had a holiday in Lancashire?
It all started when I got addicted to Coronation Street?
I heard somebody mention the Busby Babes, but couldn't find the right porn channel?
I once drank a pint of Bodington's?

:wink:

Hang on.... **** can hardly string 2 sentences together without refering to his jaggy brush, or 2 inches... are we really supposed to believe he's capable of writing TWO paragraphs? :? :lol:

Hell, if this is ****'s alter ego, can we keep him please? and get rid of **** instead? :oops: :lol:

(sorry mate :lol: :wink: )
