    Q.11 Did Spurs have a parrot as a gift from an early tour to South America ?

    On leaving South America after the club's first overseas tour of 1919, the team won a fancy dress competition on the ship home as Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday, with the parrot used taken back to White Hart Lane as a memento of the trip by the cook on the liner, who had obtained it in Santos, Brazil.

    He lived happily at the club for 10 years until the day that Arsenal suspiciously got voted into the First Division in 1919 at the expense of Tottenham Hotspur, when he died.

    now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

    Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

    PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

    The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!

    Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

    It's a new government scheme - you have to prove you are a ****** in order to still get your benefits. He has passed <applause>

    Simply to celebrate the fact we gave your parrot a heart attack.

    Little things....little minds etc :)

    Starkey - we don't all have to rely on benefits. Some of us have salaried employment. You'll learn what that is when you leave school....maybe :)

  7. By the way, you've spelt your avatar name wrong!

    There is no such word in the English language as alright! It's two words: all right.

    Even your name is a poor wum attempt.
