It seems it was later adapted by the bay city rollers for one of their songs. It’s a bit like that “Tom Hark” song (“top of the league? You’re having a laugh”). I had a thought about this when trying to get to sleep last night. There is a scene in The Italian Job where Mr. Bridger is walking down the stairs in Jail and all the inmates are banging cups. is this the rhythm they use?

There is a comedian who does a sketch about Irish accents, the joke being there is almost nothing you can say in a southern Irish accent can sound offensive and literally everything you say in a Northern Irish accent sounds like a threat. He then proceeds to offer death threats to the audience in a southern Irish accent that sounds all friendly, then say some lovely things to them in a Northern Irish accent that sounds like he's making threats. It's genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted February 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2021 Has anyone ever had more than one account on here and had an argument with themselves? I was convinced as lease one somewhat 'controversial' poster last year could have been someone on a wind up mission and maybe a creation of a mod. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Must admit , if I was going to join a football forum and pretend to be someone , picking a snowboarder from Bristol who literally nobody had ever heard of at that time , and researching them quite extensively , wouldn't have been my choice of catfishing .

Isn't it though! There's still a small part of me that thinks "why the **** would anyone go to the lengths @villaajax went to?" What was the hopeful payoff? Was that lego-loving freak just a freak? She even had a backstory of "my boyfriend was a villa fan" etc - it was just so deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Why do rich people eat gold? I get that it's expensive, so it's a way of flaunting your wealth, but aren't there more appetising ways to do that? And here's a restaurant offering a £50 sandwich for delivery with gold on it; but it's *delivery*, so nobody will see you eating it! What's the point then?

By paying £50 pound to a hipster deli, they're enabling the owner to spend that money on artisan moustache wax and a new saddle for his penny farthing.
