  1. My dad came about 62 when he was 12. From what I hear sounds like they worked like crazy and things were pretty tough. But everybody was very close to each other.
  2. They all support Liverpool and Man United I'm afraid. But on a similar note India is definitely an untapped market for football. The new League they are forming which is featuring quite a few ex high profile professionals is a good start.
  3. My mate went to Barcelona he says the crime is ridiculous there and pick pocketing is rife i'd hold onto your wallet if i were you My wallet got pickpocketed, they took the 10 or 20 euros out and gave me the wallet back which contained my bank card and drivers license. Very generous thieves. You saw them take it? Why not hit him and get back the money, or was it a group of them? I was pretty hammered about 4am and had lost all my mates. I was chatting to these locals first and then when I walked off they called me and said you've dropped your wallet and gave it me. Both had massive grins on their faces. I was in no place to accuse them of taking money.
  4. Yes - friends lived there. lovely. Tall trees (or three pines, or similar name ) pub there is nice. Nice village, too. Ice cream seller on the walk down the little passage to the beach, which is a good 'un, too. I should have mentioned it, actually. We are there now. This is more like it and what I expected. So much nicer than the beaches by our hotel in Newquay.
  5. He is the biggest waste of talent in my lifetime. Was an incredible player for 2 or 3 seasons and since then an absolute waste of space. Watching him waddle around at Wembley was heartbreaking. Is a waste but at least he became the best in the world even if only for a few years. Won everything too.
  6. You just have to think of it from his point of view. He's had a number of years in club in turmoil - whats keeping him here? He has young children. Regardless of if its 'only Southampton' if they are prepared to give him a bumper contract for four years... I know what I would do. And if we match what they offer him? (Which I think we should within reason). I assumes his family are settled in he Midlands area by now. Maybe that could be a factor.
  7. I don't think we ever tried to play a possession game like they did. We were just a lot more direct.
  8. Depends how they spend all the money they received. They've definitely become a victim of their own success.
  9. I used to live there, and my (scottish) girlfriend absolutely loved it. it may have changed a lot, but I doubt it. Maybe it's different if you're just visiting. Fantastic place, IMO. Newquay? Recomend any places to go eat or things to do? I can see how it could be good if surf and do activities etc but missus expecting so not up for anything. Something else I really should have considered before booking it really. yep. Newquay. As your missus is expecting it does limit it a bit, but maybe take a walk to the bowgie from town, or wander out on the coast, either just on the headland, to towards watergate bay. Great views. If you have a car, then there's local villages, there's a few beaches that are kind of unknown (polly joke). On the other coast fowey and mevagissey are only maybe 30 or 40 mins away and worth a visit. Or go to st Ives, Penzance, lands end, Truro -all good for a day or half day visit. In Newquay itself, bimble up to the red lion, sit and watch the sea. Dunno if they still have bands on, on a Sunday in there. Cheers for that. Did you ever visit Crantock village and beach?
  10. Dictionaries are now available online. But i prefer others to perform relatively menial tasks for me, especially obsequiously.
  11. It all makes sense now. I've exhausted my 'likes' by the way but when I get a new batch, some unleashing will be done. Now you know why you speak Portuguese! Just been told my phone and iPad gonna be confiscated so better go to sleep.
  12. Could be, that's an interesting way to look at it. What am I then though? Still brown? I'm someone who looks "black" with Northwestern European and African ancestry, who grew up in a black and white family. You my friend are Brazilian.
  13. Being a bit harsh on Moses I think. Especially when we look at some of the players we have. Would be one of our best players. Not because he is so good, because we are so bad!
  14. What makes you think she's thinking of the "date" that much? I mean, we had a good conversation, there was a connection, but I'll be surprised if she's thinking about our get-together at all, given how bloooooody long she takes to respond to a simple text. As for restaurants, nah I hate posh restaurants. Too expensive and too uppity. Little mom-and-pop place is the way to go. I made that mistake once. Arranged to meet a girl without a plan, she looked the bomb and I was a bit trampy. Luckily I had a nice jacket in my car to redeem myself a little. But the look on her face when she saw the effort id made to her when she first saw me. Didn't go down well.
  15. I've always seen the label "black" as a reference to someone's (presumed) ethnic background, rather than a reference to skin colour per se. Someone who looks "white" could identify himself as a black person, for example, if he has African ancestry, and/or grew up in a black family. Like in the jerk?
  16. ......penis Yeh yeh, I'm sure you'll alway claim to have that half!
  17. The dreadlocks or the white half? This is getting confusing.
  18. Yeah, Grebo is a generic West Midlands term for anyone who is a bit "alternative" (skaters, Metallers, Goths etc). I'm sure it comes from bands like Ned's Atomic Dustbin and Pop Will Eat It's Self. Up North they're known as Boggers. I got called a Grebo when I liked Nirvana. An Indian Grebo! What a freak!!
  19. I think Lamberts a top player. It's only his age against him. Would love him at Villa.
  20. Or some sort of Grebo. Do people still use that term? Damn Grebo's and their skateboards making the town look untidy. Don't South Africans have black white and coloured? As a Punjabi I've been called it all so don't care what I'm called anymore. Yes I didn't say Indian because we are completely different to you're traditional 'Indian'. But I digress. 8pints get rid of those sideburns!!
  21. Look in the bottom right of my original post. Expand and my penis never go in the same sentence anyway. Where?
  22. Say whaaaaaaaaat? Are you single? In that case then I can understand if you don't see the joke here.Maybe I'm just slow. Ohhhhh! Bloody hell I am slow! Edit: as a married man I feel stupid
  23. This is good. But you gotta expand without mentioning your penis.
