hdm article about dean windass has this comment at the end Nearlyhome I strongly object HDM , to a footballer being called a Hero , heroes are made during civil conflicts and NOT on a ruddy football pitch ask all those that have served in conflict zones , DW is an Ex footballer end off and a possible legend if he must be put on high . well, my opinion is this: Nearlyhome, you can **** off. i choose my heroes on whatever basis i decide. the dictionary definition includes someone admired for their achievements, and that can include footballers, musicians, scientists, or whoever the ****ing **** i choose.
He used the word "ruddy". Deffo an egg chaser. The ****. But yeah, happy for someone to be called a legend, but not a hero? Oh Deano. Who's a ****ing legendary hero. So yeah, **** the **** off Nearlyhome you cockwomble.
I think ruddy is a good word. Especially when Partridge said "Ruddy bloody good." It's just needlessly picky this hero thing. It's very common parlance to talk about someone such as a footballer or other celebrity being a childhood hero and it in no way compares them to those who've fought in wars.
Saw them back in 1966.one of those bands which surprised me by being a lot better than I thought they would be whilst other, more trendy, bands disappointed.
You get that dont you ? My mate talked into going to see Gary Numan.I quite liked some of his songs back in the day but thought he might be disappointing in concert. It was excellent so I went back to see him again a couple of months ago.
mate of mine told me similar. blown away by the new stuff. trouble was, 1st gig was about £23 in a small venue, but the next one is £65 in a 5000-seater, and he's not happy with the increase.
