On my recent trip to Tobago we had to visit the Argyle Falls....
I have also bought wine a restaurant in the US with Argyle in the vineyard name, an album called Argyle Park and stayed at the Hollywood Argyle ( fab Art Deco hotel that features in the Jamie Lee Curtis freaky Friday version).
I was staying there when the reception handed me a note from my wife with the semi final of the play off results for 1998 written Argyle 3 Culture 1 ( it was Colchester obviously)
So have you ever visited somewhere just because it would remind you if your team! If so what ( am expecting great things from Leslie!) _________________ Currently disposing of my collection so please email any wants lists to [email protected].

It doesn't get any better than this………..
I was walking down Fowey (Cornwall) High Street in about 1990. I walked past a launderette and my eye was caught by a picture in the window, I approached it, dragging Mrs H with me. It was God himself - Jimmy Cannon, Palace legend and record appearance holder, a cig card or trade card. Just him, nobody else, nothing in the window at all, just that. I went in. Nobody was in there, a few drums were spinning. I came out again. That was that.
Plus at random about 5 years earlier I booked a hotel in Bath for a few days. This was pre internet etc. As we drove up, lo and behold, next door to the hotel, a pub.... The Crystal Palace. Mrs H's heart sank.

Went for a night out in Blackpool 2005 as Grantham played Fleetwood (before the money was thrown in) at Highbury on the Saturday, a few doors along from our B&B, gutted I didnt know about it prior to arriving, but Grantham House Hotel _________________ www.programmehut.com - The Internet Dealers

No pressure then eh!
I do not subscribe to any of that I am afraid OTHER than I insisted when I got married for the 3rd time the date had to be the 29th May-end off or it was off!
29th May 1968 was when I was privileged to sit in the VIP seats Royal Box side [costing 4 quid]next to my old man that he had to pay a £100 pair for, to see the Benfica v Manchester United European Cup Final!-it was the greatest night of my footballing life at 17 until that night in the Nou Camp in May 1999[26th not 29th!]

I am sure I have mentioned this before but when we had twins we rapidly decided they would be called Phoebe and Freya, Freya was given the second name of Claire and I suggested we call Phoebe, Phoebe Amanda ( my wifes best friends name)
She very cooly looked me up and down and said if you think you are giving them names just to do the initials of your football club you can forget it...
Phoebe Julia...so close !!!
