I’ve just waved my eldest son David off at the railway station. He is on his to Hull where he will meet his university friends who 
he is joining on a coach trip to Spain.
From what I can gather, it’s a group of sports clubs, including his football team. As well as the sun lotion, he has packed a convict’s outfit, pair of handcuffs, wig and a jockey’s racing silks. There is no way he would have passed airport security with that kind of baggage!
He did confirm that he had packed his football boots too, but I don’t think that footie is going to be the main focus of this trip.
I couldn’t help wondering if European students brought similar odd items over to England to participate in drunken hair raising stunts.
What are the chances that David will end up in a Spanish jail?
“Those Spanish police are not very friendly,” my husband warned him last night.
No wonder I’m a worried mum…
If he did end up in a Spanish Jail he wouldn’t do it again 🙂
Sorry Ellee joking aside, he is going with a group of Sports Clubs, they must have coaches etc..he will be fine….:-)
Ellee, no need to worry. I’m sure everything is sorted out.
I think it is normal to be a worried Mum but he is your son soo I think you don’t really need to worry 😉
I’d be very worried. Dressed in that get-up he’ll find himself sent back to Gitmo.
[…] funny videos placed an observative post today on Iâ […]
No kidding about the airport security not passing his stuff. I just went through a terrible time in Sydney where they xrayed my hand luggage half a dozen times and even my hat.
I’m sure everything will be fine, fine, fine.
There was a boy at my school who went to London for a film studies trip to film a short video. In his bag he had like a fake axe, a fake gun and lots pigs snouts and things. He didn´t buy a ticket, then the police got involved. Then they found his bag and arrested him under the terrorism act and held him for a day. So these things can happen… I´m sure David will be fine though, he´s not the kind of boy to get involved in fights I´m sure and thats the only time the Spanish police get involved. They have zero tolerance to fighting, and they counteract it by joining in the fight pretty much 🙂
Emily, what a scary experience for your friend. Let’s hope David retains some of his sensibilities. I’m trying not to think the worst and hope he is having fun.
JMB, it sounds like you had a terrible time too, what a horrid experience.
Thanks also Anne, Cherry Pie, Kevin and Capt Picard.
I like his packing priorities! No good telling you not to worry, I know, but I’m sure he’ll be just fine.
I had a text from David last night saying they had arrived in Salou, he had “got murdered on the initiation, but i’m feeling fine”. That’s a relief then!
Oh dear, my brother’s at Hull and from the sounds of it is on the same/similar trip with the Cheerleaders and American Footballers.
He’s just blocked most of his family from his facebook so Mum will not find out about any of the idiotic things he’s done!
Mum’s most definitely a fellow ‘worried Mum’ and is all year found with my brother’s lack of common sense and the rather ridiculous drinking culture in Hull Sports’ Clubs. Still, you’re doing well, we haven’t even had a text yet…
Kate, I’ve never been on my son’s facebook, he would not allow it! I think at the end of the day we have to trust our lads. I hope you have had a text by now from your brother. I wonder if they know each other.
