Hi people over the pond. I have posted a couple of times and thought perhaps i had better start again and do a quick introduction. Maybe i shouldn`t have mentioned my "norty yoof" in an earlier post, i come from Polish Jewish stock , originally from East Prussia, the fact that i got into a fight in Israel many years ago and was put into jail was my own fault and fully deserved, i am not anti anybody and i simply mentioned this as i have some interesting stories befitting the mad martin monica, so please people do not judge me on that. I`m now almost fifty six, go back to the sixties with FFC, been there, done that e.t.c. As i have more time these days i thought, as stated elsewhere i`d post to the exiles site and somehow came on here too. I think it`s great that you people share our love of all things black and white and i look forward to giving you guys some of my take on things in the future. I also have a mad monty python humour so if you are not sure what i am on about sometimes then , well just ask, i am honest bloke and have no secrets, all the best, martintheveg.
Welcome Martin and glad to have you on board. We always love to hear stories of peoples Fulham mispent youth. Do you still go to the Cottage often?
Martin, are you for hire? I've got an Arsenal buddy that won't shut up ever since that 3-0 whipping they put on us a couple weeks ago. Only kidding...well...kidding about hiring you. glad you found the site and look forward to your "takes" on things with our Cottagers. Welcome!
I guess Mike isnt reading Exiles as much as he used to. I'd thought of adding an 'Exiles' sub-forum but then I thought AGAIN and our charter is that we don't poach from other Fulham sites, so I never suggested it to Mike and Tom. IIRC. If enough exiles and home-boys on here DO want that, however.. it's no problem to me.
Fantastic welcome, thanks a lot. Like many others i never needed a season ticket over the years, it was only after M.A.F. bought the club that i thought it would probably be in my best interests to. I changed my seat from the three ninety nines to the two ninety nines for this season for the saving of the `long one`, funny thing is i asked to be moved as close as possible to my old seat and my muckers quoting my recent medical problems and i am now at the end of a row by the aisle, can come and go without disturbing anyone else, and my old seat and muckers are a spit away, AND i`ve sat in my OLD seat with them three or four times already this season as it`s now among a couple of spares week by week. I lived in the flats in Lonsdale road Hammersmith until my eighth birthday, lots of my family were in W6, Fulham, and my grandparents house is now part of the Chiswick flyover. I can still smell the gas from the gasworks next door. Since then i`ve tended to move around the South East settling in Bromley fifteen years ago. I don`t have the dosh for Boro but i did book trains for Derby on the web last night, eighteen quid return. Right, i`m off to eat my dinner chaps, cheers for now, veg.
