I just texted blue_eyed_miss about this but I just have to share this with the rest of you as well because it's just too hilarious.

If you remember this post, you know that my home town has a really awesome Spanish bar, and J (the friend of mine who accompanied me to the Basque Country in September) and I went there tonight. Before you ask, no, the Spanish guys ( Read more... )

rl: friends, rl: bill quiere entrenar su lengua, team: athleeeeeeeee...tic!, .rl

Haha aww, that's great!
I really understand your deep love for a nice, cuddly scarf, I have one as well. Really, I'd probably give away my coat before parting with that scarf my aunt knitted for me!
And you're lucky. Last footie/spain related incident I had was meeting Culés at the university's Mensa the Tuesday after El Clásico...

I love my Athletic scarf. It's not like some other football scarves, it's really soft, and it keeps me perfectly warm. XD

My grandma knits socks for me, so I understand perfectly that you wouldn't want to part with your home-knitted scarf. :D

Eeeek, that sounds like no fun at all. :/ *hugs* Culés can be a pain in the ass, can't they? What I've had to listen to after El Clásico in the past... *shakes head*

I never had a football scarf. I do own a Slipknot scarf though and I guess it's not much different from the normal football scarf. It's nice, but there is no way it can compare to a nice, soft scarf. Especially if your scarf is over 2 metres long like mine *-*

Yeah, especially over lunch. I had watched the game with my friend, who supported Barca and she said something about it and those 5 guys at the next table just interrupted and babbled about how Barca is so much better and that Madrid is a crap team and that our keeper sucks. I nearly, very nearly emptied my plate over one of the guy's head for saying SAINT IKER SUCKS!
Dude... really... that's a cardinal sin!!!

What, never?? Wow! I have tons of football scarves, all kinds of different clubs and NTs, and I love them all. (But my Athletic one is my favourite, obviously. XD) But of course, none of them is 2 metres long. WOW. That really keeps you warm!! :D

WHAT THE HELL? O_______O Fucking idiots. I would have been FUMING. But I guess it's just envy talking with those people, they wish they had such a brilliant keeper as Iker, and since they don't, they have to convince themselves that he's not that good, otherwise they can't get to sleep at night. ;)

Oh my god, lol, you're adorable. I love it when that happens. And I totally agree with you re: talking about your travels!

I had a similar encounter with a Liverpool fan at university three years ago. He was wearing the Torres jersey and I pretty much screamed "OH MY GOD FERNANDO TORRES, WHAT A SIGNING, EH??" and we proceeded to have a lengthy conversation about the club. C:

txorakeriak December 11 2010, 12:18:51 UTC

I am not! *blushes* But you are! :D Love it when football connects people, the most awesome memories come from that! :D I wish I didn't have to leave last night, then I would have had a bit of a chat with that guy at the bar! :D

WAS HE CUTE?

hehehe sorry priorities

txorakeriak December 11 2010, 12:19:18 UTC

Hahaha, yes, he was! But he was there with a girl, so I didn't really think about that. XDD

(ICON LOVE!!)

motsdesoie December 11 2010, 13:40:30 UTC

well, still, a basque buddy hahaha!

one must really feel like a fish out of the water if you cling to that little piece of home away from home ie the scarf around your neck :p

txorakeriak December 12 2010, 11:01:55 UTC

If I ever see him again, you BET I'll talk to him! XD

That is EXACTLY what it's like!! It might sound strange because I've never lived there and I've only been there once, but it felt so much like home that I can't help surrounding myself with stuff that reminds me of it. Makes not being there easier to handle.

lhuneldaiel December 11 2010, 00:48:33 UTC

Aww! Great story! Can imagine the huge grin on your face :)

txorakeriak December 11 2010, 12:20:30 UTC

I was beaming like a loon all the way to the train station, LOL. XD Dude, if you come visit me again (which will hopefully happen! *fingers crossed*), then I HAVE to take you to that bar. You'd love it!
