[Gravity Aided]

I laugh at him too, several thousand miles from Ipswich.
Thank You for posting that.
It made my day.

I knew when I opened this thread, but I thought there may be some other meaning other than the usual.

May I suggest that some skinny little white twerp from Ipswich thinks he' like gangsta bro.

I once had a barely pubescent lad from down the road tell me he was "gonna pop a cap in my ass" if I walked past his house again. I laughed at him.

I always find these amusing

It is also great fun......

When they expect you to be offended and you simply ask if they could explain the phrase as it is not one you are familiar with.
One of my favourites was to then thank the young man for the explanation, and ask whether it was a local colloquialism or something that had a wider spread outside the local area

He looked a bit bemused...

Batty's penalty miss was against Argentina in 1998.

Whoops, apologies!

Whoops, apologies!

I thought you were talking about Gazza, who could be described as 'batty' in a different way.

 

[winjim]

Whoops, apologies!

I thought you were talking about Gazza, who could be described as 'batty' in a different way.

At the age of ten I cried my eyes out after England were knocked out of the 1970 World Cup, 3-2 by West Germany, after having led 2-0.

Since then it's been just one disappointment after another, whether it be penalty shoot out fiascos or flippin' hand of god numptiness.

In the end, the bast*rds just wear you down and you end up not remembering very clearly or, indeed, not caring very much either!

Makes watching England so much more enjoyable and definitely less stressful.
