Me too, Jimmy. Living in Essex only by virtue of having been selected to carry out missionary work down south

Bob, you've been in Essex too long. Only English people refer to us Scots as "Jimmy", courtesy of Russ Abbott.

.... and if you are "down South", it ain't missionary.

I think you may be right. I hope I'm not becoming a naturalised Englander

Shall I post you a haggis supper ?

You could always reheat it.... not as good but enough TLs in you and the effect might be the same........ oops, forgot, you don't get TL darwn sawff do you ?

Graeme Souness is the manager of Newcastle United football club who are playing their fierce local rivals Sunderland United today at 1pm in an English Premier League fixture. The people of Sunderland are referred to as "Mackems" (which I believe comes from "mack 'em and tack 'em" from the distant industrial past). Sunderland were recently promoted to the Premiership and are likley to be in the relegation battle at the end of the season because they do not have the financial clout to build a high quality team. Newcastle on the other hand have spent hundreds of millions building a team that has won nothing. Losing to Sunderland could therefore be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for the manager.

We'll see in about two hours what happens to Souey.

Could do with a TL just now. Remember when they used to have crunmpets on the side of the tins?

That should really confuse them now.

He's safe now!! ? !!

Shouldn't you be drinking McEwan's?

Not the same thing. McEwans is an export Indian Pale Ale. not available in this neck of the woods anyway.
Besides, I'd rather the crumpet than a grinning cavalier

You must remember when the beer cans used to be thrown at opposing fans at Old Firm matches. Someone would always say "don't worry, you're OK unless your name's on one of the cans" and sombody would always say "but my name's McEwan".

If I remember, sometimes the cans contained re-cycled ale.

McEwan's also make lager......... might as well be recycled ale, it's pish.

Nowadays, Scottish football is one of the safest and crime free leagues of all.
