SAFC/Hull bitching

Sounds familiar, I bought the self-help book, 'So you think you may have Alzheimers?'

I could never remember where I'd left the ****er

 

I had "The concise book of forum clichés!" but some Hull Mod stole it.

 

Dante -so much better in the original language.

 

.

 

Too many for me to have a favourite.

Partial to Cohen the Barbarian (and the geriatric horde).

Not sure that if they wanted to do a film, the Hogfather was a particularly good choice.

 

you read thirteenth century italian? okay.

 

I like the book version of 'And God created Wumming' ............

 

Smug, have a look at a book called 'The Pillars of Hercules' by Paul Theroux, you might enjoy it living where you do. In the late 1990's the author travelled from Gibraltar to Ceuta, in Morocco (the two pillars of Hercules) and wrote about his experiences, I'm sure Antibes gets a mention.

 

Che mucchio di stronzate.

 

I fell in love with Brigitte Bardot in the film version.

 

Cheers mate, I really appreciate that.

I have loads of books from the 1850's onwards that are either about, or make reference to, Antibes.

Without being arrogant I doubt there's any non-French person that knows more about this area than me.

I like Paul Theroux as he has an obscure way of looking at things and the subject sounds perfect for my taste ............. thanks once again.

BTW, what a ****ing great thread this is!

 

Hot as a jam tart on the roof of yer mouth she was ........... although St Tropez was the star of the fim for me tbh.

 

Are you gay?

Oh wait St Tropez is where all those topless bints go innit?

 

For 8 weeks in the summer it's where some of the most beautiful women in the world 'hang out'

 

Our lass rates those Cromwell books by Hilary Mantel, she loves history (she used to be a volunteer guide at the Palace of Holyrood House as what she don't know about Mary Queen of Scot's is not worth knowing)so I will subtly check to see if she has read Agincourt, could be a good lead with christmas coming.

 

The book I'm reading is incredible tbh ............ it's a factual account but reads like a novel, with real suspense, despite the fact that you know what happens in the end.

Some of my Border Reiver family are mentioned which, as I wasn't expecting it, was quite thrilling for me.

Jealous of your lass like.

 

She is from Edinburgh, read Scottish history at St Andrews back in the day...................David Rizzio is a bloody obsession with her, we have paintings in her house and mine of the bugger

 

Reminded me of the Sunderland copper, PC Blakelock, who was hacked to death in the 'Tottenham riots' ........... shocking and frightening way to die.

 

Forza Ascoli!

 

Agreed. To be honest i didn't even finish that one.
