Probably also in attendance was David Lloyd, however due to a surfeit of Jager Bombs, no one could actually see much after midday.
Mark and Luke made it in good time despite their Lear Jet being held up at Heathrow and problems with the spa at their 5-star hotel. Fortunately, their chauffeur was able to make up time in his McLaren Mercedes. Wally was somewhat late after his German guide Dietmar showed commendable Broomfield-like abilities by managing to get them hopelessly lost. However, Nicko and the Boss both arrived at the Irish Bar on the Reeperbahn in time for a light brunch.
Nicko made friends with all and sundry and shared a romantic lunch with the Boss and two sisters, who he tried to sweet-talk once he had got them to confirm that they weren't lesbians.
The Boss's poylmathic life was revealed to all and sundry in the afternoon when a Fulham reveller said to Nicko "hey look, there's the guitarist from Five Go Shopping." Unfortunately Nicko's powers of recall and sophisticated musical knowledge were also revealed when he replied: "nah, he was never in Five Go Shopping."
How anyone made it to the match is anyone's guess, though the Boss, Stuart and Nicko somehow managed to commandeer a cab already full of Fulham fans to take them into the middle of the Black Forest which thankfully seemed to be near the stadium.
After the match, Mark kindly arranged for a private ambulance to take Nicko to the airport, while the others returned in sombre mood to the Reeperbahn. However several gallons of beer and more Jager bombs soon raised spirits and the local fräuleins were treated to some top moves by the assembled throng as well as some male-on-male action from the Boss and another legendary Cobham punk, Chinner.
Wally and the Boss even made it back to their hotel, where they were able to get their heads down for a welcome 28 minutes of sleep before their alarm call.
There are rumoured to be some pictures of the day… these will be posted once anyone can remember where they are.

I'm sorry I have no idea what any of this is about. I deny all knowledge. Mainly because i can't remember. Jager-bomb anyone?
