Tour 2004 - Ljubljana (Photos)

Tour, Tour, Tour 2004..........Photos - scroll down

After recent successful tours to exotic rugby hotspots like Lithuania, Poland and Estonia to name a few, the Selly tour organiser (Mr McGoo) really excelled himself in 2004.

>Where to? I here you ask.

Ljubljana that's where!!

>Still no wiser, but intrigued?

Well that's Slovenia you know!

>Heard of it? Kind of know it's east of Birmingham? But really still no wiser?

Then here's a map -

>Is that blue bit the Mediterranean?

Yes....

>Well that means it's southern Europe.

Yes....

>Well that means it has nice weather, good food, excellent drink etc...

Yes....You got it!!!

And this is how we spent 20 - 23 May 2004.....

 

On our way......

The card school begins (and we are still on the M40!)

***********

Brother Kelly in tour uniform!

Our crusade begins...

***********

All aboard....

***********

Blessing the flight....

***********

Not convinced...

***********

***********

Safely down...

***********

***********

The Match.... Bezigrad 19 v 33 Selly Oak

The opposition...

***********

The Duck never loses his magic (still as accurate as a blind man on one leg with a nervous twitch...).

***********

Chairman Fielden putting the winger away with a perfect pass (shame he can't do it back in blighty!)

***********

Is that the Chairman again breaking through the gap?

***********

And the finishing touch....

***********

The tourists soaking up the inspiring words of coaching guru "laughing" Harley Williams.

***********

The Selly Super Subs chomping at the bit to get on the park....

***********

Hey steady on Keri....don't look too keen (follow the example of that other Selly Welshman next to you showing the usual tour posture).

***********

Band of brothers - we few, we happy few....

***********

The Bezigrad President (Rugby was our common language....)

***********

The Selly Oak President (they couldn't understand us either!)

***********

The Sacred Selly Shirt giving......

***********

And the traditional Selly Sing Song...

***********

KV in full voice.....

***********

Still keeping the locals entertained...

***********

Those were the days......(my friend)

***********

A proper rugby club bar.

***********

***********

Brother Gray doing his bit for international relations!

***********

Still friends (this was before Brother Gray ran off with their treasured statue of Tito!)

***********

Rest and Re-cuperation

***********

***********

***********

***********

***********

***********

***********

Back on the bus....

***********

The Captain asks for permission to speak..

***********

El Presidente saves us from some unintelligable babble about rucking...

***********

Hanging on every word!!!

***********

Q: Has this man had too much?

***********

***********

***********

***********

Q: Has this man had too much?

A: I think so!

***********

The sitting of the Tour Court (or standing in McGoo's case!)

***********

Our leader blesses the flock...

***********

And may we all be thankful for what we are about to receive........Vodka!!!

***********

The only man ever to be crowned tour virgin for a second Selly tour shows us all why...

***********

A full demonstration of why he never appears able to dress himself...

***********

Finally there...until he forgot to lift it up next time he went for a sh*t!!!

***********

Tour Communion...

***********

Round the table it goes...

***********

No adverse reactions yet...

***********

There's a lesson here my son...

***********

Don't do unto others etc... (divine intervention perhaps!).

***********

A bit of sightseeing...

The following photographs are of no interest or amusement, moreover the content will be totally alien to the majority of tourists.

They are simply here for the benefit of your missus!!!
