God Save the Queen

Haha you weren't this brave when we first spoke. You've had a few haven't you?

The only hard man from Manchester has my full support come his time to crush pretty boy in Vegas.

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.

I went to university in Liverpool late eighties/early nineties. I lived in Wavertree and had friends in Toxteth. Mr G Cat was still in school (I'm a cradle snatcher as he's nearly 2 1/2 years younger), had I known it he was only about 40 miles away!

Despite that, I've never eaten Scouse.

I had a fantastic time as a student and have an enduring fondness for Liverpool. When Mr G Cat tries to get me interested in football (soccer), I threaten to support Liverpool and he soon drops the subject (with dark mutterings about the consequences, should I make good on my threat).

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 :rocker:

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?

PFnV

Actually, the Brits invented sod. In fact, most of them are sods.

You guys still pissed off we never offered you statehood? Well, here are some terms for admission:

1) There is no "aluminium", as you well know.

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"

.Miss G is p*sisng herself with laughter. I am predictably not amused.

 

[gomezcat]

Yeah, we Americans should learn how to play "the real football"... as should the English!

Ouch!

BTW, is your username inspired by the basketball player?

 

[FrontSeven]

I would like to give thanks for the fact that I do not share a country with 90% of you, especially those who live in the treasonously (excuse the made up word) named "New" "England". How dare you!

Thank you but we'll keep Becks, but you have to take back Posh. Don't try to defeat us by laying lame broads on us because we ain't buyin'.

Oh of course I'm happy about it. But I'm also happy about giving Brits hell, as only a half-former-brit can.

 

[Scouse Patriot]

Thank f*ck for that.

Sorry Gomez

 

[gomezcat]

Nah, they can have him. He was like a Spice Boy- lots of ego, some talent, but seriously overrated. I suspect that Gary Neville put in better crosses at times. Not to mention the fact that he was a C*ckney.

Miss Cat likes the fact that you give me a hard time, btw. She has a soft spot for Liverpool, as we have established.

Oh, and I noticed that you have Irish ancestry, which I share. That makes you eligible to post in the Religious forum. It is freaky but everyone is either of Catholic origin (like me) or of Jewish origin (like Miss Cat). Have a look at the "religious beliefs" sticky.

 

[gomezcat]

I'm half Irish, which only confuses matters further. She Who Has Stopped Drinking And Gone to Bed (I admit to plagiarising your format) is half Jewish.

BTW, is anyone else nervous about Sunday's game against Philly? I can't put my finger on it, but I have a bad feeling about it.

The only nervousness I have about Sunday's game is over the car breaking down en route to my first live Patriots home game.

Also, concerned that from half-time onwards I will be bored with the game out of sight as usual this season.

What a week coming up for me, I get to watch both the Patriots and my beloved and much-missed Cambridge United play home games, in person, in the space of seven days

And my two teams have lost precisely one game between them this season. Good times.

Beckham had me embarrased for him we he done that thing for Adidas with Bush and he put pads on. The things were bigger than him

Yeah, got a bit of Irish thrown in there. I stuck me nut in there the other day and it surprisingly was filled with porn I also had visions of the CSM from It Aint Half Hot Mum reading the title of your I'm the mod sticky The pic went nuts though and I couldn't be bothered finding another.
