A most enjoyable " steak bake" - Update

[TeddyBear]

Last night someone posted links to the best stories on the old site. I knew about the story in the OP but had never seen it. I clicked on it last night and spent about an hour in tears of laughter.

One of the reasons I found it so funny, is I was the other mate involved in this caper. I can confirm that the story is absolutely true.

My wife was wondering what I was finding so funny, but for obvious reasons fobbed her off with "just some of the usual stuff on FF".

Sashmanreturns, who took absolute pelters through the thread, is sadly no longer with us. He was a great guy sadly missed by all who knew him.

I don't know if I trust myself to go to Murrayfield without my my wife. Badly enough behaved when she's with me.

I seen you asking in a number of different occasions if anyone had a link to the original thread. All makes perfect sense now!

The other mate was onceuponabriggsbear. Posted on the old site, not sure if he's signed up here or not.

Sashmanreturns was the guy who posted the story. He wasn't a participant.

Sashmanreturns was the narrator of the story, he said 'My mate was telling me a story of him and his missus and his mate and his missus going to a recent concert at Murrayfield'

 

[TeddyBear]

I remember him, did he ever get to see the thread?

Yes he posted on the original thread. Backed up Sashmanreturns who was getting all kinds of abuse for being a jackanory.

 

[TeddyBear]

How much of it was exaggerated?

The version that Sashmanreturns told was a wee bit exaggerated but onceuponabriggsbear's version is spot on.

 

[Jackhammer]

so can you run us through the events leading up to the steak bake mate?

The funny bit was more the pelters that were served on Sashmanreturns for telling the story rather than the story itself.

Basically me and onceuponabriggsbear were through at Murrayfield with our wives (2004 ish) to see a Robbie Williams concert. Got through very early and went on a pub crawl along Rose Street before heading towards the concert.

This is onceuponabriggsbear summary from the original thread:

"train to waverly
rose st pub crawl
wimmen hungry at end of rose st
men horny end of rose st
passin taxi
buck n hare
saw nice stuff while having beer
bought private nice stuff and more beer
passin taxi
steakbake bottm lothian road"

Dispute the horny bit, to me it was just a good laugh. We were all steamin' by this time

Great to hear behind the scenes stories of this classic tale

I remember that thread. Some of the responses were hilarious. We need a Classic Threads Sub

I put together a thread, with the help of some other posters, with as many as we could find from the old board.

Transferring the data over here now is not likely to be possible.

Was that the thread I seen last night with all the links to the FF classics. If so it's how I found the steak bake story. I couldn't see it this morning. Was it cut?

There it is mate. Theres just that much activity on the board just now that topics are dropping down the pages quickly.
