Does it work with those on the Wirral or are they too refined to be offended?

Manc is completely different!

Hi Paul,

It is nonsense, and is fine when it's the intelligent and lighthearted banter as often found here.  I'm originally from the west of Scotland where sectarian nonsense usually lacks any of these qualities.

 

(Sorry for bringing down the mood)

...sending her lyrics as "little love poems" that she thought were wonderful

 

Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know it's really serious

 

How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say

Ooh you can marry me and if you like you can buy the ring

 

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

I’ve just moved from there: it was always important to know the two results of the weekend and who to wind up (or not) about it.

A late colleague and friend used to have fun on an old firm weekend and bet £5 with a known Rangers fan and another £5 with a known Celtic fan.  Don’t know if they twigged, but it was an amusing insight.

Some years ago my wife was at the dentist and needed a toothbrush for one of the children: “not green” she said (so that it wouldn’t get confused with others in the bathroom). Blue OK? was the response.

And finally, overheard on Sauchiehall St: a woman out with two boys one wearing a Rangers outfit and the other Celtic. “Hen, you’ve got problems!”

Hi Dr Fitters,

 

As far I can remember the songs that I sent via text were:

  1. Please Please Please, third and fourth verses.
  2. What difference does it make. first verse.
  3. This night has opened my eyes, second verse.
  4. Reel around the fountain, third verse.
  5. Handsome devil, first verse.
  6. Girl Afraid, all of it.

I got sussed because she read it out to one of her friends, I was in shed loads of bother for those stunts but it still makes me smile.

This is the best Smiths song, not often Carlisle get a mention in a song.....it always gives me visions of a popular Radio 1 (now Radio 2) DJ on the gallows outside Citadel Station ......I will leave you in suspension who the DJ is.

Odd thing I have nothing against Mr Blackburn but it is the image of his smiling face as the nose is put around his neck. As I say I have nothing against Mr Blackburn it is just an image I get as Morrissey sings "hang the DJ" I wish I knew why because Tony Blackburn comes across as one of the least offensive people there is in public life and I wish him no malice.

It was the only thing that worked properly in my mate's car and turning it off might have caused some electrical problem and the car would pack altogether.

 

anyhow I do like a bit of Joy Division

 

Here is a song I like

 

I had a car which when you changed the radio station using a control on the steering column the front passenger window opened.

Hi Clive,

 

Quite right !

 

 

Oh, the irony of using "Uncle Jimmy" .... At least we had the late, great Kenny Everett as the voice of Charlie the Cat.

Very true, while Morissey has turned progressively grumpier with age and often comes across as quite unpleasant.

Not arf! A toss-up between them and Leonard Cohen as far as I'm concerned.

Nowt wrong with Uncle Len, there's a lot of very dark humour in his lyrics. That said, I'm a goth...
