November 14, 20232 yr I have an AFL, West Coast Eagles playing jumper signed by the entire premiership team of 2006 which includes some legends of the game. I think I still have it, the wife packed it away somewhere years ago and I haven't seen it since. I had a large picture of infamous criminal Chopper Reid brandishing his pistols which he signed on the frame. Gave it to a friend back home when I emigrated. I also had a pic taken with him which is still on my PC. (I think I posted it on this forum many years ago -won't do it again) In my own footy playing days, a kid ran up to me at the end of a game and shoved an autograph book in my hand. Taken by surprise I took too long to decide how to write one (I nearly used my signature) and the book was snatched back before I could formulate something, as the kid raced off to get another player. Was never asked again!
November 14, 20232 yr Learned at an early age approaching celebrities to ask for autographs is très gauche Ex when we saw Kevin Costner at the bar in Aspen and nobody was hounding him freaked out "Just a guy trying to enjoy his vacation while waiting for a table in the dining room or maybe he has a house here honey"
November 15, 20232 yr Did a favour for a mate while working in South Korea, he has a mate, the ex World Boxing champion Dave 'Boy' McAuley. To say thanks got him to sign my name on a card depicting him fighting wishing me all the best and a signed pair of gloves, have them here in Issan. Also have a Chelsea football signed by all the first team, along with a large picture of the Chelsea squad all signed again by the players. This when the silver bearded (conman/crook) were in charge (Before bought by the Russian) came into my possession at a charity raffle type function. We were all pissed and bidding with no idea what for, I made another bid thinking some fool would top mine, never happened. Handed my goods in a Chelsea club shop plastic bag, bag went awol. Mate who does E-Bay laughs at how much I paid chortling how it will be 3023 before I get my money back. Given a bottle of 'Lanson' Champagne in 1997 with a BP label celebrating the Foinhaven Field development, stored upright in a display cabinet here in Issan. No idea if worth anything Worked on the Stadive in 1995 during the proposed sinking of the Brent Spar. Shell gave all directly involved a T-Shirt printed on the Front "Only a drop in the Ocean" and 1995 etc, etc on the back. Never worn and never seen another will never sell. No idea if worth anything Piper Bravo, the replacement for "Piper Alpha" when first produced oil some of us were given paperweights with a "Drop" of oil encased giving the date etc. Still in it's little box, will never get rid off since knew a guy who worked on Piper Alpha. Ships Bell from the Balder Hammerfest 1991, cough, cough is hanging near my fish pond Bulk Carrier Star Ming, the stern flag tucked away in the battery locker left the ship when I left in Bangkok in 1983? Had loads more memorabilia, but, my ex has no idea what happened to an old Pendulum clock from a BR waiting room I repaired, navigation lights and anchor lights plus ship models. Women do, do a scorched earth policy on a guys things, told me for 22 years that leaving would make her happy, it did until she found the money supply had left so all my possessions went to that "Don't ask me, it's your stuff" place. Apologies for derailing the thread.
