I like Wales I once went out with a Welsh girl and when I went to see her I obviously met a lot of Welsh people, good sense of humour the Welsh.
Ron you should have come to Scotland or Ireland and got in a pub brawl, nobody would have batted an eyelid
Well there were about a dozen or so Ham Sandwich cars (I'm sure you know what cars I'm talking about but I'm sure most Americans wont), and one of our guys lost a tooth by being elbowed in the mouth. What happened was that we reserved the party room for after hours then they said no we couldn't have it because they were giving it to someone else. Then there was some yelling then I saw somebody on the bar (standing), a fist here and fist there and so on. Since I was the oldest there I got to be our spokeperson and convienced the Bobby's that they would probably never ever see us again, that we had a charterd bus and would leave and not come back.
Another one of our guys got in a fight at an Oxford nightclub. He was a ladies man after all the chickiepoos. All of a sudden we saw a punch in the face from one of the locals, then someone got hit with a beer mug. The bouncers came and grabbed the local blokes and threw them out but not us. So we headed for the door thinking that they were going to throw us out as well. Then a guy from the club stopped us and said where are you guys going. We told him that since they threw the other guys out they would throw us out as well. He said no, those other guys were known trouble makers and that we were welcome there.
That same night we were walking around looking for another pub and we found one but there was a guy guarding the door. When we approached he asked, are you guys members, I said no we're Americans. He said ok and let us in. Of course the ladies man decided to go after the girls while two of us threw darts and one guy got on the stage by his self and did a fish out of water dance. (basically he fell to the floor and shook like a fish out of water) if you have ever seen Animal House that's what it was. They then told us that we had to leave. As we were driving home it dawned on us. It was an exclusive gay club. That's why the girls were not interested in the guy trying to pick them up.
The best part of England was going out and about to pubs away from the base, then challenging the locals to darts. We always won because we were number 1, 2, 3 and probably 5th RAF Fairford dart champions for 1984. They didn't know what hit them.
i have always wanted to go to europe. especially germany, austria, etc. i love to learn about WWII and i would love to visit some historical places like omaha beach and few other places i have in mind.
