Subject: Perfect Day

The day started in Cardiff at work, where 8 of us from work had hired a white stretch limo for the day at a cost of 40 quid each (same price as the train!) one of the boys had his wife do a batch of sandwiches, another sorted the beer and wine, another brought his max tape for the stereo, I brought the grand slam video and we stopped 15 times between neath and bridgend and were still in glamorgan at 11 ! there we were sat in the back of the limo, drinking and watching grand slam on the telly and listening to max on the stereo and on our way to London in style!. As we crossed the severn bridge the driver opened the back sunroof with some sort of magic button up front and out of it unfurled a large welsh flag on a stick! Croeso I Lloegr!
and over the bridge we went like royalty.......mog was going up the escalators backwards in his boxer shorts and red blanket on telly and we were quietly getting pissed with both our hearts and max telling us we were going to deafeat england in a fast and open game! c'mon wales!!

next at 90mph somewhere past swindon we spotted stuart davies and some other swansea players in the car overtaking us and someone shouted...its stuart davies mun! stu wanna can or wha?! craig hanging out the window and felin foel being passed to the boys in the fast lane...want some sandwiches as well stu?!!, nice cut of ham by all accounts.

the humour and drunken stupidity carried on into the services where our limo with blacked out windows and welsh flag pulled into a group of 20 screaming teenage girls who had come running across from their bus wanting the our autographs. Craig who looks like a bouncer had led them believe we were in fact the stereomanics!!!

Finally wembley approached and by now the whole of the north london circular knew who we were. We parked in Wembley next to the other limo's and got to our seats. I can remember thinking for most of the game I need a piss. Why is it always the same? I also remember trying to convince myself that by now I could of pissed, got a burger and a can and been back in my seat by now if i wasnt still pondering over going for a piss!! it is always the same.

then as the game dragged on deep into the second half, the beer wearing off and deja vu setting in nicely I convinced myself and god that i would in fact go to church the following sunday if he could just for once weave some magic and let us win!! its always the same isnt it.

then bang out of nowhere we get a penalty...YES!
YES good solid lineout...catch this one now please.c'mon
and as my eyes decieve me in midfield gibbs comes from nowhere and is cutting back in, it happened so fast right in front of us, I still remember him dancing, I was convinced he'd beaten about 40 english players so long did it seem to last, it seemed to go on forever, PUT THE BALL DOWN...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at this point even though I knew Jenks wouldn't miss , I was absolutley petrified...some english bloke in front of me turned around and assured me that he wouldnt miss. And then as It went over I started to cry, after the final whistle I cried more, and I dont think I've cried like that scince I was a baby!
