OR ?? (although I suspect G looks more like the one on the right)

If you by slacks you mean Lonsdale trackies than you are spot on.

 

[skyblue025]

I heard he had been banged up. Must of got out. Maybe "Twist and Shout only a quid" will return.

 

[stevefloyd]

Anyone seen him since? Remember he also shafted me and my mates for Wimbledon away (used him cos Mick Kincaid doesn't run coaches to London). He "organised" a coach from the Wallace pub to Wimbledon, must of been about 50 waiting for the coach which never turned up. He was jogging about the car park making phone calls acting like something had gone wrong. Came out later that he was told the by the coach firm Friday night before that the coach was canceled. Obviously he did nothing and pretended to not know about it. Pretty sure we never got our money back either.

James has given up despite owing people money

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I remember when he organised 50 odd coaches for Wembley and everyone was wanking about what a saint he was. Many people arguing he wasn't doing it for profit but out of the good of his own heart.

Idiots.

Farah slacks, height of fashion in the day. (Think I probably still have a pair at the back of the wardrobe!)

Didn't he fuck that up too?

I think a few coaches didn't turn up or something but on the whole think he was relatively successful. I don't think he's a bad lad just got himself into something beyond him.

Back of the wardrobe? Where do you live? Narnia

 

[clint van damme]

You can't blame that on James mate

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Depends where he hid away from people he owed money to, and whether he got a taste for bat.

Mad that he is defended and still did what he did at Charlton and got away with it.
All I was was curious to know is if anyone had received money back from a fellow Cov fan as I'd hoped that a Cov fan would not screw over another Cov fan. Appears silence is deafening

 

[Otis]

I hope he has moved to Germany, just so we can change the thread title to Das Boot, cos that's a classic tale too.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Was just down tesco, 2 lads pissing about at the self service and 1 goes 'alright im not James Raffell'

Made me think, did this ever get sorted? Peoples money back, him battered?

 

[Sick Boy]

Still can’t believe people actually fell for the all inclusive booze for the price.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Not so much a boat more a battleship given the number who claim they were there .....

If I’d been on it 10 minutes before everyone else I’d have used it up

 

[pusbccfc]

Still the best league away trip in the last 10 years. Mostly down to the boat but also down to Bakayoko turning into Ronaldo.

It would be like Woodstock if everyone who claims to have been there was there.

Will go down as his finest moment in a City shirt for sure

Him and Hiwula were brilliant that day

Just read back through this, one of the best threads ever on here. Top 5 for sure

Gonna get a bottle of wine this weekend and go through it again

It's honestly amazing, starts with someone saying he "always seems miles away from the type to mislead or rip off", before IMMEDIATELY ramping up into 25 pages of amateur sleuthing, threats of violence and about 15 people claiming to be related to the guy.

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

Thoroughly enjoyed reading back through this. Whole situation was absolutely madness. I am guessing to some extent he has got away with it. Sad but smiled to see Fellatio commenting. Also, I miss itsabuzzard. Did anyone ever hear from him?
