I met a fan in Cyprus! No not an electric cooling one...

I have just come back from a week in Cyprus where the main event was the wedding of my youngest daughter. However, on first day I wore an FFC shirt to give me some beach cred and then on the second day I was ordering a drink and this chap started talking to me, asking if I was a supporter as he was! I have never ever met a fellow fan abroad ever! I just wondered if he posts on here. Obviously i could attract a real wind up here. I only met him the once, I have this effect on people, and have forgotten his name as my memory is going but he has a son called Elliot. Are you there? If you say the place we were staying when we met this would deter a class one wind up!   

Thank you and good night.

There is a fan from Cyprus on here but I doubt its your 'friend'. He owns a bar called the Cottage pub. It is the sign that is on my avatar, a friend used to holiday out there and took the photo. The owner messaged me and remembers my friends as they have a mutual friend.
Actually it might be northern Cyprus but I cant remember

This sounds like a post for people with bad memories, if I remember correctly what the topic was.
Watching the ups and downs since 1958, wouldn't have it any other way, what a roller coaster of a club.

I was walking through Wimbledon a couple weeks ago and a big lorry drove by with a huge fulham badge on the back.

Wouldn't be Northern Cyprus, my old man has a place out there, and if there was a Cottage pub, I wouldn't here the last of it.

The sign you have as your avatar is from the Cottage Pub in Pervolia about 10k from Larnaca, had a few drinks in there about 5 years ago, not sure that it is still open now?

I was probably thinking of your old man Admin. I knew someone went there.

Yeah, I'm sure it is JH paperboy. It was only last year that 'the Cyprus one' contacted me.

Morning fellow fans. Thanks for your replies. I think this chap came from Epsom. I wish I had seen that Craven Cottage pub! Don't get old folks cos the ageing memory can tend to get on one's nerves....

Yes I lived there in Cyprus and would go to the bar on Saturdays or Sunday depending on what day Fulham was playin. It's in povolia near Kiti. I was there last week and it's still there. COUW.

I can´t stand Greece or Cyprus. The olive oil they use is so bitter unlike the oil in Spain,Italy & France. Fetta cheese which is on everything is horrible.

How bizarre! Coral Beach by any chance? It's a stunning place and I hope that you enjoyed your daughters wedding. My Dad said that he met another Fulham fan and I think he was just as surprised as you! He also mentioned that you were quite optimistic about next season? Funny enough I bumped into another FFC supporter in Paphos town the next evening. It's a small world!

I can see a few heading out on a pilgrimage to the Cottage pub now. Except Grandad obviously.

How can you dislike a whole country because of Fetta cheese!?

If I remember rightly there was a Chinese restaurant next door or opposite?

I also dislike Moussaka, Ouzo. the language, their dancing & the mess they make smashing plates.

I live in Cyprus, in the Paphos area, quite a few FFC fans here. I have met the guy from the Cottage pub, good guy.
