Attack of the TV Nazi!

From The First Lap - 1995 in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia on May 18 '95

Only ONE reason to stay here - a TV showing the FA Cup final was to be found.  A bloke from Manchester came with me from the Perhentian Islands and our mission was to watch the Man Utd v Everton game at all costs.  We arrived in Terengganu early and searched the town for a suitable hostel (with TV) and settled in for the game.

The hostel was nicely placed and even had a roof terrace where the TV was situated.  We soon realised though that the TV was not exactly for guests.  The owner of the hostel, who incidently got us to stay BECAUSE he said that, yes, they had a TV, then proceeded to behave like a TV Nazi and turn the channels over whenever he felt like it.  No amount of arguing, or threats to throw the clown off the roof made any difference, and so we had to hit the town in the hope of finding the game elsewhere.

And what a complete waste of time that was!  We found a cafe not far away and proceeded to watch the most lame arsed game imaginable. Man Utd lost 1-0,  this a week after losing the League title on the last day after Andy frigging Cole hit the post in the last minute against West Ham,  meaning Blackburn won, even though they lost on the day!!

Not very fond memories at all - the less said about Terengganu the better.
