Monkeys Fist

What’s also a bit weird is - why was he on his own? Either his mates had enough of his rancid patter and fucked him off , or he was on holiday, in his 20s, with his Mam and Dad, and his old man gave him some pocket money to go out so he could get amongst the Mrs.

“ Got one over on some Maggie bastids last night- spent the entire night pretending to be one of them…”

“ I’m sorry Alan… Alex… whoever, I’ve just heard that my granny has died again, smell ya later…”

Downie looking utterly perplexed

I reckon he was the cause of the delay, as he didn’t have a live export license for them.

Fist Jnr is still having daily coughing fits from it despite testing clear over a month ago. I’ve told the little shit if he doesn’t shape up sharpish he’s going up for adoption

I lived in France, Switzerland and Spain for about 10 years, didn’t meet a single mackem in the entire time. Lucky escape by the sound of it

Fewm.

( also, he’d need at least 48 hrs to trim those magnificent fuckers.)

@Christmas Tree https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-61994590 He’s only gone and done it

Aye, we had a fairly good chat He also filled the little dent on the back, to stop it getting any worse. Really nice bloke and, even as a guitar-numpty, I could tell he really knows his shit. I’ll be taking his other guitar to him for a service once I’ve got my HGV sorted.

@Gemmill, got the Epiphone SG back from the Guitar Elf you recommended the other day. Replaced three frets, new strings, did a “set-up” whatever the fuck that is, and showed me how to adjust the action for the Fistlet, for £65. Said Fistlet is over the moon with it. 👍

That, and the sex shops aren’t quite as imaginatively named…

So, DC comics is short for Dorty Cunt comics? You’re never too old to learn, thank you for the information @The Fish, I shall spread the word.

Why they drinking at work?

Can you arrange a shed meet for Jenny and I in Altrincham while you’re on, please and thank’ee

Someone has woken up in a proper mood.

Unless Johnson is “blessed” the same way as CT?

If you built over the road, and steepened the stand, I reckon you wouldn’t be too far off. Looking at it, going from the “St” in One St James, and running parallel to the stand, it’s about an extra third of the existing footprint. Since you’d be building outside and on top of the existing stand, that part of the construction could be done during the season, with the final parts making it a Kop done in the off season.

Aye- if you look at the “fuck this” crew who left under Ashley ( I’m one of them), and then add in younger fans who grew up under that regime, a figure of 18k new match-goers isn’t particularly unrealistic. Id love to stay put at SJP, but if we’re even half as successful as we’ve all dreamt we will be under this lot, an 80k+ stadium would be very much a necessity. How you’d convert SJP in to that, firstly from a design point of view, and then achieving it in the very narrow closed season would be some feat.

You see this type of behaviour in 2nd and 3rd generation cult members in the likes of Scientology and the Mormons- they have no grasp of what is real because they’ve never been exposed to it. Mackems have spent so long in Division Three being “everyone’s Cup Final” they actually believe that their players are better at football than plumbing or joinery or whatever their day job is. They’re about to have their world shaken up.

That’ll come as soon as the season starts and they’re getting torn to pieces on the regular. I give him 6-8 games.
