Did I tell you I was thrown out of the SAS for excessive toughness? (more like excessive likeliness to run away from trouble).

Hatton is stupidly tough, but then anyone who boxes is scary.

I hope Joe Calzaghe gets his chance against Bernard Hopkins; he deserves the big pay day.

Yeah, I believe so. G man has been speaking about you behind your back see. Glad you enjoyed it here. The city does tend to be with you when you leave it. I'm sure that could be said for alot of places too.

I personaly think you should support us, you know deep down who's better, filled with history, tradition, success. It makes sense. Then you need to bring your better half to Anfield to watch us using that woman thing that tends to break even the most stubborn of men. Be good to have you on board...

Won't it G man...

Try the scouts, they're a chilled out bunch Shouldn't put yourself down G. A man doesn't have to fight to be strong.

Hattons special. Mayweather will have a job on but he's stupidly talented too, so Ricky likewise. I'm really looking forward to this fight, really looking forward to it. Plus Ricky's a City fan, which is a plus

Please god, just one body shot to Mayweather off Hatton, pleeease. I want to see that fancy idiot cry in pain.

Calazaghe should of fought Hopkins a long time ago. Hopkins reckons he wasn't being paid enough but I beg to differ. Joe deserves the recognition though, he's just beat a machine in Kessler. Calzaghe is geniunely one of the best boxers in the world.

Ah now I understand... this is good to know. As I understand it then, I am "half-scouser."

Oddly enough my Liverpudlian relatives never really spoke Liverpudlian, which is sad to admit. My mother did explain that in the original Disney flick "The Jungle Book," the vultures were talking like the Beatles... i.e., Liverpudlian. I find the accent incredibly self-deprecatory, but not in a "can't defend yourself" way, more in a witty understated way, followed by "boot I might still kickyerahss?" The question mark here is only implied by standard English usage, where a rising tone at the end of a sentence connotes a question; not so in Liverpudlian English. Same thing goes for Valley Girl talk in America: "So I went to the mall? And I saw Jason? And oh my God?..." Except Valley girls don't seem to be concealing the notion of ass-kicking, with the exception to that exception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

As to subtitles for this "Taggart" show, I have never seen it. I think Brits greatly overestimate the cultural impact of their television industry after Fawlty Towers.

As to laying off the Scotch, who even mentioned 'em?

Um, actually, we Americans lost the battle on "aluminum" v. "aluminium." We did win the battle on "sulfur" v. "sulphur", though.

Well theres different tones of accents aren't there, I'd imagine your relatives will still have the little twang in their speech every now and again which I could probrably recognise. They might not have had a deep accent anyway. You get well spoken scousers and you get the the stronger variant.

You do have Liverpool, or scouse blood in you yes. But wether your happy about that or not thats up to you If you ever want to, or if you haven't already, you should visit. Obviously if you can like.

Well, there that whole "herb" vs. "erb" thing

and

"Color" vs. "Colour"
