There are wild horses in the new forest which is about 20 mins away. Its a retort to calling Pompey fans skates as the callers used to **** them because they looked like vaginas apparently.
Southampton born and bred, moved here about 4 years ago. I quite like b'mouth, keep one eye on them and always want them to do well.
Fishing: A Skate's mouth looks like a foo foo except there aren't many about... I used to skate at Southsea Skatepark as that was the park in the country at one point
Seems I'm confusing you a lot today! DT got it correct, that's why they will often be referred to as 'our fishy firends,'
As I understand it, despite the fact that sailors referred to their ships in the female tense, it was considered unlucky to have a woman on board. As it got (shall we say) lonely at sea, the matelots of yore we're in the habit of nailing the aforementioned unfortunate flat fish to a mast, it's mouth facing outwards and downwards, then they'd form an orderly line with their britches down. If you were to visit North End on a Friday night you'd be forgiven for thinking this practice remained very much alive. The jolly tars of yesteryear later went on the discover the delights of the "golden rivet".
Its all true, they are New Forest pony fiddlers/feckers and our derogatory name of 'Skates' is derived from our Naval Jolly Jack Tars rather than resorting to PieKing's deviances, resorted to nailing the Skate fish as they had vaginas, only on long voyages of course I'm sure they could wait when crossing to the Isle of Wight!
Good grief.....there are somethings in life that one would rather not know about and that definately falls into that category......
He never did come back with anything, but I note that he moved on to later threads. I guess he was embarrassed, huh?
It very much suits me and the armchair is too comfy for words. So, other than the above comment, do you want to admit that we've actually been saying the same thing, or do you still wish to either disagree or will you simply fail to respond? The fact that you came back on my most recent post seems to indicate that you're still reading this thread, so I can only imagine that you've either figured out that what I'd said was in actual fact applicable to the Saints (as any club that suffered - at least in part - due to mismanagement), or perhaps too many big words sprang out from under my Important Hat that you struggled to understand my comments? Alternatively, perhaps you just couldn't be arsed, which I will take as an indication that what you wrote initially is just another example of somebody deciding to criticise comments made by another without actually reading the words. Like I said, embarrassing. It does amuse me how people will resort to mild insults or sarcasm as an excuse not to have a proper discussion. Have a good day today, Possum, I'm sure you will as I can't see QPR getting anything from the game.
Right, I'm off to the beautiful south. If I see any of you White City plastic gangsters on the M3, I'll be sure to give you all a cheery wave.
I do like your style of writing and humour Uber I don't usually have much time to spend on here as its usually on my phone or pad and even more so whether i have my reading glasses with me. I can't believe when i clicked through various bits this morning that i was straight onto your comment. I also Don't think there were any insults in my previous slight disagreements with you at all Ubar, sarcasm maybe Have a good day yourself and as we both want our team to win desperately today, then i will say i hope the best team on the day wins and which ever way it falls its a fair result.
