RIP France 98 Pint Glass

[Colossal Squid]

So, farewell then, France 98 Pint Glass

You've been with me for over 15 years
You were my favourite glass for drinking beer out of
I shall miss you and the memories you always rekindled:
Michael Owen's great solo effort against Argentina
The penalty agony as the same match ended England's participation in the tournament
The flairtastic France squad of Zidane and co
Davor Suker's golden boot
Ronaldo's fit

Goodbye old friend. You shall be missed

At least you have a picture to remind you of the good times

Always sad when a favourite glass breaks. I lost a Stella Artois one last year, sad times, had many a happy beer out of that and the replacement just doesn't feel right.

Break it on the tap when washing it up by any chance?

Lost a lot of favourite glasses myself to the bloody tap

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Sorry for your loss.

I have SIX Albion pint glasses. I wouldn't mind if any of them broke as they've all got the crappy old "shield" badge. Totally unacceptable in this day and age.

Actually it tripped over the wok in the drying rack. So it was washing up related, but not the direct fault of the tap, on this occasion

Well, it's gonna break being on the bloody stove, innit!

Can't you bung 'em in the dishwasher? That should scour off the hated symbol of the Archer era (yes yes I know). It worked with my Albion mug which is now just white.

One of them has indeed been the victim of regular dishwashing and is quite faded. Sadly, the others are as good as new.

Much sympathy Mr Squid. I would be devastated if my Red Stripe pint glass met a similar fate. RIP pint glass.

£20 for two replacements:

But would you buy from a man who states it's not his fault if they get smashed??

They could be smashed already! I might as well list my smashed glass and blame it on the postal service

Won't be the same anyway. Move on.

This.

Can I sell you an Albion pint glass (old shield badge)?

RIP France 98 penknife.

I really shouldn't have packed you in land luggage for the flight home from the World Cup.

Last seen in customs in Belgium, where I got a connecting flight.

Cor that would be a marvellous outcome.

Thank you sir. PM sent
