Off topic, but worth relating IMO -
Driving up there on our first day, we are amazed at the number of cars parked at the side of the road selling golf balls,
"Look at those fannies, not a hope", says Golfer one whose missus has bought him three dozen balls with his name stamped on them for his Christmas, to Golfer two whose own wife has kindly supplied him with a similar number with his nickname, "Beat The Bus" stamped on them.
As an aside, he's called "Beat the Bus" because he would take bets at school that he could run to school quicker than the school bus could get there. Kept him in fags until fifth year as I understand it.
Anyway, myself and Golfer three point out plainly that the poor chaps are only trying to eek out a living and anyway, anybody with their name on their golf ball is, by definition, a fanny.
By day three, Golfers one, two and three were so concerned by the rate of dimunition of the golf ball supply that a stop at one of these ad hoc roadside vendors was deemed necessary.
Picture the scene - a perplexed local trying "to eek out a living" is confronted by three Scots trying to buy golf balls as cheaply as possible.
The banter was good, but it soon became clear that the language barrier might be the first problem. His stock was going to be the second.
"That's ma ba'. Look, it's goat ma fucken name oan it, Jose.", doesn't translate well into Spanish (except the "Jose" bit). Nor does, "Thirty Fucken Euros for a bag o' ba's an' three o' them's mine anyway. You're huvin' a fucken giraffe, Jose." (again, except for the "Jose" bit).
By this point the other three of us were perilously close to embarrassing bladder control issues caused by the laughter created by the scene unfolding in front of us.
It was exacerbated when Golfer one went back to the car for identification in the form of his passport to prove to the poor perplexed Spaniard that he was, indeed, the fanny named on three of the balls being offered for sale.
As he's pointing to his face and then pointing to the picture on the passport and then his name on the balls and then on the passport in turn, it all became too much for the three of us, laughing uncontrollably, tears streaming down our faces, saved from pissing ourselves by dehydration only, Golfer one brings the curtain down on the whole episode, as a minibus full of bemused golfers heads up the hill to the courses, by turning to Golfer two and saying,
"What the feck are you laughin' at Thommo? There's four o yours here an' a'. At least Ah can prove who Ah um. How the f uck are you gonny prove you're "Beat the Bus", ya prick? Chase that fucken Transit?!"
The moral is, if you're going to play at La Cala, take plenty of golf balls.
who would you recommend then?pony wrote:Marbella is home to all the East End/Essex gang lords which is where they all live it up.
