For those with the patience to read an article I didn't manage to keep short, I offer some thoughts on this season's abortive handshakes at Loftus Road and Old Trafford and on the worst football-related twattishness Twitter has to offer. Along with the usual suspects, this includes a Liverpool fan racially abusing Stan Collymore, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra. A Liverpool fan who... wait for it... is himself a black South African. I'm afraid I end up sticking the boot into the captaincy credentials of poor old "JT", too. http://thisismyengland.blogspot.com/2012/02/self-hating-football-twits-go-crazy.html
Yes a good read. Very good website too mate. Good work. 999 I do like the look of that bird tackling stan bowles. Maybe i ought to give steptoe the spanish and get some crumpet on me avatar.
Go for it rebel, you can't beat a bit of crumpet, especially when it features a Rangers legend. Saying that though, I do like the Steptoe avatar. Good ole Bush Boys. ( OK maybe East Acton. ) I can't help but think Eamon looks like his Steptoe avatar in real life.
"I can't help but think Eamon looks like his Steptoe avatar in real life." Funny, i thought that too. Its the overcoat and the elocution lessons. My family were all totters with stables in Latimer Road so Steptoe is close to home. I painted the Steptoe that was outside the turnstiles at Ellerslie Road all last season. They scrubbed it before the Bolton game and that was when the rot set in. I used to love it when they played the Steptoe theme music as the players came onto the pitch and wish they would again. Even though we are a business project now and not a scrap yard with a broken karsi.
I think the khazi in the Ellerslie Road stand is still broken Rebel, but it's difficult to tell when you are sharing one between 6,000.
Was that you rebel? Brilliant, I wished i'd taken a picture of that now. Have you got one you can put up here? Or better still go and do it again. Your right it is all business models, brands and corporations now mate. They've taken all the character out of the game.
I am optimistic the Benghazi will be updated if we secure our place in the Premiership . I queue about 10 minutes every home game to use the 'facility' That is approx 4 hours a season x 53 years of peeing at QPR (although it was only a 5 minute wait while in the 3rd division South) So i have spent over 200 man hours so far trying to have a Jimmy at half time. Probably why my prostate is still healthy due to the regular Kegel exercises.
That's my problem, never see the upside of discomfort and inconvenience. And Rebel, I hope you'll be ending your spoofs with "John Terry denied calling xxxxx a xxxxx ****" for the rest of eternity. Cracks me up every time.
I certainly will SB73.Christmas cards too. In fact i was planning to send a Valentines message to a bird i fancy with the John Terry poem written on the card.
