Fountain at Arnage

[Robspot]

2002, the first and only time I have been so far (until this year that is)

Friday, after watching the Republic of Ireland either win, lose or draw against Spain (or could be someone else, how the hell am I supposed to remember) myself and a friend took a dip in the fountain on the roundabout in Arnage (the one with the long bar on the corner). Apart from getting cut to shreds by the interesting metal sculpture, we received a tap on the shoulder from the local Gendarme who said in his best English

"zat eez very funny but pleeez get out now or we weel arrest you"

Okay mate, don't need asking twice. Can't wait for this year, shame there's no tournaments on!

Yeah, we will have to find something else to do on sunday night...

Rob, are you sure he said 'arrest', and not 'shoot'?
It sounds like you got off lightly, I would have thought a bare minimum would be a little nibble from his devil-hound, or, if you're really lucky, a lungful of pepper spray.
I remember eating at the restaurant on the opposite corner from the long bar you mention one year, and offering to settle the bill with some hard core pornography that Savaloy produced, seemingly from fresh air. I can confirm that, all things considered, cash is the best form of currency.
