Opening 8 - Overseas opening! (1)

I know, I know - you could have been mistaken in thinking that "Unofficial Openings" had closed but no! We've just been on hiatus as I've been through a phase of forgetting to take my ribbon out with me on excursions. Last week I remembered, however, and despite a minor logistical hitch (I had to put my scissors in my guitar case as they wouldn't let them on the plane in hand luggage, thus preventing any ad hoc openings on the way through the departure lounge) I got this little beauty on arrival at Zagreb airport which has now been unofficially..... OPENED!

Today's openers were my travelling companions (and fellow comedians), Nick Wilty and Sully O'Sullivan, both of whom needed little convincing that this was a good idea. The two women in the background are simply a little piece of eye candy...

Sadly, Slaven Bilic, Stiliyan Petrov and Robert Prosinecki  were unable to attend as they all had prior commitments, I imagine. This was our first hit-and-run opening as our driver Filip had to leave his car in an extremely dangerous place and run over to take the shot for me as I didn't fancy my chances of explaining to any Croatians what I was attempting to do. This is something I will have to take into consideration for later foreign trips.
