    Well hush my mouth!!!

    Just got back from Mallorca. And who did we see on our first day in Palma de Mallorca, strolling along???

    None other than señor Hodgson!!!

    A teeny weeny bit of me wanted to shout 'jilipollas!!!', but I rose above it.

    He was dressed as if he'd just finished doing a bit in the garden...

    I don't think I could of walked past him without throwing a cold glass of Water over him then flipping the bird. Dreadful lazy manager who clapped the other side when we got relegated. I am sure he is a lovely bloke, but I would of done the above in respect of Watford FC. :p

    I would have pretended I supported anyone but Watford and tried to have a word with him. I'd then quiz him on what he thinks about his spell here, the club and the fans. If he'd then torn us a new one I think I would just have called him an old *u** and walked off.

    You always think you know what you would say if you walked past someone you hate, but it never happens that way.

    I was at Centre Court with David Cameron in earshot. Dead silence. Opportunity of a lifetime. I didn't take the shot...and neither did anyone else. Waste.

    Fair comment Stuboy, but at the end of the day nobody lost a limb or died because of his tenure. He was a bloke on holiday with his wife. My rage upon seeing him 'in the flesh' is my problem to deal with, not his or his wife's to endure.

    I wonder if he can sing the school song in Spanish?

    They need to scrap that members section at Wimbledon. Stinks of privilege. If Dave had been born on an inner city estate and attended the local secondary modern there's bugger all chance he'd be there. All that bowing and scraping. No wonder tennis still has an elitist sniff to it.

    I'd have gone straight to phase two of that plan

    Very true. The reality is I a) would not have cared enough to go through with my cunning plan, or b) wet my pants and run away in a cowardly fashion, or even c) started speaking to him and then realised I couldn't be as harsh to him as I would have wished.

    Was walking out of work chatting to my old boss once, who was a bit of a man mountain. He wasn't looking where he was going as we went down the steps as he was telling me in great detail how he'd trodden on an upturned plug at the weekend and it had pierced his foot, then I saw all these men in suits suddenly rush forwards as he collided with someone coming the other way. It was David Cameron with his security detail.

    Completely unintentional but I like to believe that Cameron thought he'd been deliberately shoulder charged by a 6'5" 20 stone bloke for everything he'd done to the country.

    Was on holiday in Dubai when Tony Blair suddenly appeared for the day. They pretty much locked down the outside area so he could 'relax' by the pool.

    To this day I regret not cannonballing right next to him.

    In an update to this story, I was just on the Palace website looking for a few FPL tips for my team and I noticed that Hodgson started a thread yesterday saying he’d spotted @Steel City Gold , a big supporter of his least favourite club, while on his summer break! You’re famous ;)

    There was no mention of white socks with sandals, so I think you got away with it!

    Except that the real locals speak a dialect of Catalan in Mallorca so it would be "A la mansió nascuda".
