Cant believe it.
Im off the western coast of Africa on a boat with about 30 people on it and who do I bump into ??, a fellow (now exiled) Wicker. Everywhere I go I seem to meet one !!, I was sussed out as I happened to remark to a lad from Inverness that I was from Wick, for the last week everywhere this poor Invernesian goes all he hears is "Rubber Bumpers" from me. He then starts teasing me about "Scorries" etc etc. All good stuff. He was in Wick recently and thought I would know the girl he chatted up in Wetherspoons about a couple of month ago just by describing what she was wearing, despite the fact I dont live in Wick. By the way if the girl wearing jeans and a black t-shirt who was chatted up by a (fairly hideous) guy from Inverness a while ago is reading this he asks me to tell you you have "Buns of Steel" .. sheesh .. :roll:
Anyway I had seen this lad a couple of times onboard but he had never spoken, he then opened his mouth and said ..
"Oh yere no a weeker are ye ??"
.. my chin still hurts from where it hit the floor. We spent the next hour disccusing the old town and it turns out he knows a lot of my family there. Apparently I look right like my uncle. I have been lucky enough to travel a large part of the world and I seem to meet Wickers wherever I go. I was once in an american airport and had my rear end goosed by an ex girlfriend from Wick. (You know who you are .. ;) .. you have a nice touch but please, warm your hands next time)
Has anyone else bumped into a fellow Wicker or Teenabowla or whatever in an obscure place ??
And are we being cloned or something as we seem to be everywhere !!
