Nice one John!
-
Cheers - in all the time you have known me I bet that's the first time I have been speechless !
What I would have said or tried to say is I would donate money to Charities that mean a bit to me and are connected to Rovers ... Firefly is one Bluebell Wood is second Third is Eve Merton Trust (after a chance meeting with a Rovers supporting Lady in The Little Plough) and last but not least is TIA Greyhound Rescue at Finningley where my Charity Penalty money went this Season. (Also its full of Rovers :coat:)
Cheers again

Admirable Wolfie Admirable......respect.
I donated all my winnings at golf the other day........
£1.50 but the principle is the same.
-
Nice one Wolfie. Dead pleased for you, mate.
-
Well done John
-
I couldn't believe how calm you were John. I was jumping up and down in the south stand.

To be honest I was simply stunned. I wanted to mention the Charities I would give some to but my mouth just failed to work. I can have another go on Tuesday when I pick up the loot !
-
What was the bet?
-
Nice one Wolfie!!!! made up for you! Enjoy :) :) :) :) :santa:
-
Congrats Wolfie and an admirable thing to do to donate the winnings.

Cheers to all ... and to make it clear I will be treating my 4 Charities as above but I have to look after my seat buddies as well and have just bought 2 rounds in my local (thankfully NOT a Wetherspoons with 200 customers) and my wife has her eyes on the prize as well !
So there will be something for everybody because at the end I was going bananas having backed Rovers to win and both teams to score which netted me nearly a tenner 15 Quid !
-
Nice one Wolfie. Dead pleased for you, mate.
Cheers BB and you have an advantage now in that you know what I look like so you can ambush me by the Bar an say you are DW and I claim my 2 pints !
-
Would you like to adopt me John, I'm worthy of charity too...
Chuffed for you mate, really chuffed.
-
Well done John
-
Well John.."You were slightly pleased" eh ???? I was glad for you my old mate. Well Done - I will tell Ron Witton in the morning.
-
... Yeah the slightly pleased thing was a bit "limp" I must admit but I had thought (of course) that I might win and what I might say ... but had not really thought at 9 to 1 that I would !
A PR Mans nightmare I bet !
Never really been lost for words before ! I get another go on Tuesday in a cooler atmosphere. If they had asked me questions by text or e mail I would be OK !
-
Nice one Wolfie and to donate some to your favorite charities even more brilliant, especially Firefly for personal connections
-
Well done Big John hoping for a drink in the Vault when you go on that spending spree ;) I loved how you took it so calmly your buddies out there must have been thinking " what I could have done with that money and it means nowt to him " lol

You are of course "nailed on" whether its The Old Vault or Barge Inn !
I was not trying to be deliberately cool and just had a "rabbit in the headlights moment". I had thought of some things I might say just in case I was lucky enough to win but I was just stunned and could not conjure anything meaningful up - and I am still getting over a crocked back and Pneumonia so I could not leap up and down either !
I could only think of Firefly as the VSC support that and despite giving my Charity Penalty £50 last year to Bluebell Wood (a Rovers Charity) and the £50 this Season to TIA Greyhounds I could not bring them to my mind which was totally blank !
Once back at my Seat I got a round of applause from my Seat Buddies and my ability to speak came back - and boy did it come back. I deffo over compensated !!! I have another chance on Tuesday of course when I can give a controlled and hopefully lucid interview and if I win next year I WILL be prepared
See you soon JT

Cheers and apologies for the earache you must have ! Got just under £15 back with the late winner (cheers LM) and feeling on a roll I bought a Lucky Dip which was based on yesterdays draw and got 3 numbers for £25 !
The Pies are on me !
-
Well done Wolfy. It's always nice to see the good guys win. 👍
Cheers .... but I am not sure about the good guy ! I rang home just after half time and wife gave me a going over for bringing in "wrong dog biscuits" from the Garage earlier in the day !
-
With the way your lucks going you will win the pie draw next Saturday ...... unless your in Abu Dhabi of course!!!!
-
See above post ! I was not in an ideal position to suggest a Coffee Table for wife and a Trip to the F1 for me !
-
Don't suppose you happen to know next week's lottery numbers?
Congratulations!
-
Congratulations John, a very worthy winner by the sounds of it! I have contact details for Firefly if you need them. I've got a place in the London Marathon next year so I'll be trying to raise some cash for them again.

Cheers - unfortunately cant tell you Lottery Numbers because my win was pure luck - no foresight or skill involved which was just as well lol

Oh ... thats blown my cover !!!
However I have trained my dog to chew all incoming "begging letters" so at leat I should be ok on that score
-
Nice pic John!
I had a bit of luck on Saturday too, mate. Won a tenner on the lottery, mate. Got three numbers, mate.
I reckon mates like me and thee should share and share alike, so half of it's for you, mate.
I'm sure you would do the same for me, mate.

3 numbers on the lottery is now £25, so you owe him a bit more!
-
I'll admit I didn't know it wasn't a tenner anymore either
-
Chuffed for you wolfie!

Well done "Pap", look out for appealing eyes and signs of poverty from Herbie on the 20th !
-
