If you met a soccer manager....

I spoke to a chap at work once who was leaving for a holiday to Germany.
I asked if it was to see friends or family?
My wife and I like public transport systems and we're going to study how well the German tram network runs!
That just switched my brain to neutral!

he didn't mention football and I didn't talk about wood!

Are you a porn star ?

Hehehe! - let me explain my industry to help clear your smutty mind ...

First up, grap your length and stick it in, someone else will pull it off. Then a couple of lads will squeeze it, maybe 3 if it's really big. Then you tie it up and it's taken up the back and after that it goes off all over the place. Finally it's in the great outdoors where it's lowered onto an erection and firmly nailed.

You can get it all on specialist DVDs and in magazines too - there are some live events but these tend to only have members hanging out at them but they can attract the big knobs.

Think that clears that one up...

I heard a rumour that he operates under the stage name King Dong - after seeing the above,the rumours might be right!

Love it when cyclist get sniffy about football.

You are immensely cool. Never forget that...

I never got sniffy about football, I've always thought it an over-rated sport full of crooks and prima-donnas.

I was brought up in a family who were big on mountaineering and holidays were always camping in mountains and climbing them. At that time I derided skiers as posers but then I tried skiing and was hooked, settling on ski touring as an extension to mountaineering.

Then I started mountain biking and used to deride roadies as posers. But then I tried road riding and now I'm hooked and my wife derides me as a poser.

I have never set foot in a football ground (apart from to watch the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd) but I will NEVER go to a match as I hate the whole scene so much and I deride footballers as overpaid yobs and a shockingly bad influence on youth culture. Okay I'm sure there are good footballers like that Linseed bloke who advertises crisps but the whole macho yob booze "my team" commercial ripoff must-have-kit scene that's attached to football disgusts me.

There's good and bad in all sports as well as in life.
Drug taking cyclists, drunken free climbers, fallen footballers!
Horses for courses?

1. You sound like you have and are.

2. It isn't

3. They're not.

Did I mention that despite being a solid red all my life, when I was suffering from a major brain injury and the charge nurse asked me if I was a red or a blue, I told him I was a blue!!! I was convinced I was and couldn't name my youngest child or my own brother and didn't know who my father was despite all of them being around my ICU bed!

And in 1997, me and my family were waiting on a connection flight from Heathrow to Manchester and ahead of us in the queue were the Man Utd team (who I have a mild disrespect for). We were coming back from New England and they were coming back from South Africa. We were mingling with them in the BA lounge and they were all amenable and nice people. I got on well with Brian Robson and Dion Dublin and my wife sat next to Alex Ferguson and his wife on the flight back. They were kindness itself to her despite her being as Liverpudlian as me.

Well, it's not your fault is it?

Met Ron Atkinson a few times through work and he was always fine with everyone. A couple of golfing friends have bumped into him on a golf course and he was friendly there. Andy Townsend was always very nice to everyone too on the many occasions I met him through work. I met a few currently playing footballers (at the time) in said previous job and it's kind of funny to meet and work on the same thing as someone to then find out that they don't play regular first team football and get paid more in a week than you do in a year. Still, if they can get the money they aren't going to turn it down. Market forces and all that.

I met Ron Atkinson in tenerife on my birthday last year. He was really nice to us and offered to take us for a drink if we had time, but sadly, we didn't. I know he got the bullet when he was accused of racism but his decisions had always said otherwise in his managerial career.

That's a slightly odd post.

You admit to having suffered all your life from irrational dislikes of groups of people - ie skiers and road bikers

You tried them and realised your irrationality.

Yet football you will NEVER go to see.

I'm sure the footballing world won't be too bothered, but you don't seem to have learned from past mistakes (ie don't prejudge something you know nothing about - you'll enjoy life more)

Seems to be a lot of unfounded derision in your world view.

You also seem to have a comprehensive opinion on a scene that you admit you avoid like the plague. It's an opinion that smacks of assumption and generalisation.

Do you read the Daily Mail?

I haven't read ANY newspaper for years as they're all fascist rags owned by government puppets and er.... mega corporations.... street of shame.... adult rags..... trivia.... er....

Anyone remember Frank Skinner's derision of the non-footie people? He said his father had once told him never to have anything to do with the folk who don't like football as they were 'not worth knowing or associating with' and he reckons that in general, his father made a very good and valid point.
