‘Goldfish are so last year’ says champagne Pete at the press conference to showcase the new microphone collection he’d bought for his office.
"I know I'm not Guus Hiddink, but it's not as though I'm a bald scout sacked twice in non league, or fat bloke in a sombrero."
Hi Neil, "wee man" you cheeky ****** I'm very touchy about my height, or lack of it. I have had a ticket in my basket twice this week, but bottled out at the price of a hotel. Think I will have to bite the bullet and drive home after the game, just not sure I can go in a pub and not have a drink.
Sorry, it just comes out. Wee man, big yin etc. are all Glaswegian terms of affection & bear absolutely no relation to appearance. I mean, for example, I'm often greeted as 'fat ugly bastard' for some strange reason. Actually, I do get called 'wee man' back home a lot, surprisingly. It just comes out. Never stopped to think about it before. It is odd, isn't it? Another one I used all of my life was 'how no?', which to us means 'why not?'. Never realised how odd it was until I came to live in Yorkshire & it was pointed out to me by one of the southerners (i.e. Yorkies. They don't like being called southern' for some reason or other'. ). If the hotel is a problem, stay at mine. Not a problem. Seriously. I'm not drinking & already chauffering, so you won't put me out.
No offence taken only kidding you. Thanks for the very kind offer but I will be driving, will still pop in for a pint before the game, if only so Shaks has someone to look down at
