I can't imagine who you're referring to, Stretch ;-)
And what does "blank" mean in this context? Cockney rhyming slang?

the slang term that you were thinking of is `Top-Rank' or `Pedal&Crank'

I am *very* glad to say Ray was right! Must be the English lessons he
got darn sarf. (Irishman living in Scotland supporting a London team,
and they have a go at Utd fans!)

| It's because I have an cockney uncle who drives a taxi in
London, so I have to support a London team....actually I qualify to play
for England as my grandfather was born in England, (somewhere around
Newcastle), just in case Hoddle's reading this....

| 570.6 | I don't think so..... | IRNBRU::61549::Spike | Yes it does, dosen't it? | Thu Aug 01 1996 17:20 | 14 |
| Ray,
You are not eligible to play for England for the simple reason that you
can only play with one foot and stop running after about 5 minutes. You
also never pass and have never heard of the concept of defending your
own goal.
This will no doubt be proven yet again tonight during the 5-a-side.
Rgds, Steve.
PS. Any childish attempt to kick the wasname out of me tonight will only
prove the point.

| 570.9 | no humour no fun | VYGER::GRAYJ | President of the world | Tue Aug 06 1996 16:47 | 9 |
| Can anyone play this game or is it just for narrow minded people who do
not like it if someone has a different opinion from their own? Do all
the noters have to support the same team to play so that there can be
no difference of opinion? Maybe everyone has to remove their sense of
humour to play this game!

p.s Lighten up and stop taking everthing so seriously.

| 570.10 | Game 2 ?? | PATE::POUNDER | | Tue Aug 06 1996 18:01 | 11 |

This may just start another game......but where exactly does the "4x2"
offer an opinion or a favoured team ??????
BTW - profound statements like "SHEARER HA HA HA" don't count.....
Mmmmmnnnnn......just a thought...we could always go around the notes
containing "plankities" and....by a process of elimination.....oh sod
it, pass me another Guinness.

| Now now don't you go getting all upset with the big bad noter.Letting
people upset you so much is bad for your blood pressure and can lead to
a breakdown.Remember,sticks and stones may break your bones but names
obviously upset you!
|
| 570.15 | | CHEFS::EDWARDSD | | Wed Aug 07 1996 11:50 | 2 |
| Dream on little boy - you're not upsetting people here. You're just a
wee bit boring/repetitive don't ya think ?
|
| 570.16 | see you all later | VYGER::ROBBK | | Wed Aug 07 1996 12:17 | 11 |
| Why do you dedicate a conference to a "little boy" who is a "wee bit
boring/repetitive"? Strange behaviour if you ask me!
Now for some sad news.I'm going on holiday for the next two weeks and
will miss your whinning.Look on the bright side,it will give you all
time to bring your blood pressure under control.
bye
p.s The new season has still to start!

| >Why do you dedicate a conference to a "little boy" who is a "wee bit

Just to be a tad pedantic - the conference is dedicated to the
discussion of FOOTBALL, and not your wee self. This entry was created
I believe by Stretch partly out of fun, and partly to determine if
anybody else in the conference thought you were, and I quote, a
"Plank". Amazingly somebody else has been defending your rather inane
little comments by referring to them as "humorous". I simply extracted
a random selection of your witty little remarks to convince your ally
that perhaps they are only humorous if you happen to be under-12.
Enjoy your hols - I know we will !
BTW - I'm assuming that you are a Rangers fan - is that right ?

re -1
Kevin,
get a life. Your far from witty/repetitive notes are giving the rest of
us here in AYO a bad name. If you can't note constructively just don't
bother.
Del.

| 570.22 | chill out | VYGER::GRAYJ | President of the world | Thu Aug 08 1996 10:18 | 8 |
| No wonder ROBBK is away on holiday he probably needs a break from all
the bitter,dour people in this conference who can't seem to see the
lighter side of the game or see when someone is trying to wind them up.
Besides most football fans i know [fans being people who go to games on
a regular basis] actually like a bit of good natured banter! I find the
people who are least likely to take this are those who spout off about
football from no closer to a stadium than the front of the tv.
|
| 570.23 | Re 520.22 | CHEFS::UKFURNITURE | | Thu Aug 08 1996 10:37 | 8 |
| I'm sorry but I didn't realise typing "Shearer" a few times in a note
was "good natured banter", nor typing "ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz...". I don't
think the point of a notes conference is to wind people up either.
Sorry for being so "bitter" and "dour" but I prefered the rather better
quality of good natured banter that occured in this conference before
ROBBK arrived.
dickie.

| 570.24 | sorry to drag this on | IOSG::TYLDESLEY | | Thu Aug 08 1996 10:49 | 10 |
| re .22 (another unsigned noter from VYGER::)
I don't think that it is correct that noters in here are 'dour, bitter
people'. I also think that a lot of them attend football matches on a
regular basis. Most of them probably know that Kevin is trying to wind
them up, but he is not doing it very well and is becoming boring and
repetitive. It is probably fair to say that most of his notes are
content-free. It would be nice if he, once in a while, contributed
something constructive to the conference.
regards,
DaveT
