Your stand-up must be class like. Are you on the Isle of Man ferry?

 

I'm fully booked RMS Queen Mary 2 this month starting Monday mate. I work on a lot of cruise boats. Started of Butlins performing after H from steps now I've hit the big time. BBC3 approached about a show but I want BBC1 mate so I rejected them.

<------ Secretly knows that when he finally gets to see a match at SJP, he will not be able to understand anyone he meets from the boards here and will be doing a lot of nodding and saying, "What? Oh right! Yeah!"

Better than speaking half Welsh you scouse bastard. Ask yourself do scousers talk like cunts? You know the answer. I believe 95% of this country would say you do.

 

I'll say the women love it and the men hate it. I'd rather speak scouse than Geordie. Geordie reminds of fat beer bloke with no top on shouting Wye Aye Man.

 

As I said, I can't comment as I've never met one. Tescos is small fry anyway.

 

Tesco the UKs biggest supermarket and the man in charge a scouser.

 

Bet he still nicks the stock though
