| The Ultimate Dilemna - what would you do ??? 18:31 - Sep 30 with 1521 views | numptydumpty |
In the late 80s, myself and a friend travelled up to the Rangers to see us play Arsenal. Was in the days, when you just turned up and paid on the turnstile. We were delayed in arriving and queued up to get into the East Paddock.
The game was just about kicking off, by the time we got to the front of the queue by which time the man at the gate said to us, i can only let one more in. My mate pushed in front of me, with wallet open and took his chance. i had said to my friend we should both not go in then. However he thought and chose differently.
He was actually driving, so i had to wait in shepherds bush, watched the game in a couple of pubs. Shoot me down, as i suddenly wanted Arsenal to win five nil, and my "mate" to have a crap game experience. It actually ended up goaless but one of those games that was far from a bore draw !!
I walked to where his car was parked after the game, no mobile phones in those days, and we went home in stony silence and i wasn't in touch with him, for six months, at least. We were both young, moody and immature, and obviously this kind of dilemna wouldn't happen today.
Anyone else ever faced or been on the end of such a scenario !!
36 years later, i have just about put it to bed - I think !!!!

I’d have let his tyres down and gone home on the train
Maybe even pop round to see his girlfriend while he’s stuck at the football. [Post edited 30 Sep 21:31]

I'd have taken a long time to get over it as well.
But, I note your spelling of 'dilemna'. I guess you went to school in the 70s and like me, are sure we were taught that it is spelled with an 'n'.
Apparently it's always been spelt 'mm'. It's the Mandela Effect - apparently, we're all party to some collective misremembering. It was commonly mispelled and somehow 'people' have decided they were taught it as 'mn' at school.
I know what I was taught! Bizarre. |  | | |
