Missed an open goal there the Barber did. If I'd been that barber, I would have gladly say him down. "Now Sir, what would you like"... And then continued to trim professionally away until I got to the bit where you use the razor for the hair at the back. Then I'd have skilfully cut SKATE into the back of his hair.
Brecon it couldn't have been 100% if you played for them as well - u less you are a spy on here. Blackadder interrogation techniques needed....
I was in John Lewis in West Quay last Sunday. Whilst browsing the tech stuff, right next to me was a guy in a Pompey shirt. I couldn't believe it - a few years ago he would have got loads of abuse (not from me I'm too polite ), now I just glanced, felt sorry for him and carried browsing.
I can imagine his conversation with the helpful assistant: "And this sir, is what we call a laptop computer." "Galuga?" "No, no, a computer. Com-pu-ter." "Ga-lu-ga." "Er... well, nevermind. Let's move on. Now this thing, this is a toaster." "Totsy?" "Almost! But not quite, try again. Toas-ter." "Tot-sy." "Well, okay, that will do for now."
I have to agree that walking around town with no shirt on is dreadfully uncouth. As we live in an allegedly equal society shouldn't ladies be allowed to do the same? That might help me to come to terms with it.
To be fair to Harry he was probably trying to be clever and make out that the people of Portsmouth are not glory hunters and choose not to follow a local glamour club. Unfortunately, when he opened his mouth it came out as his usual verbal diarhea.
In 50 years or so it will be commonplace for girls to walk around topless, but in doing so it will lose the appeal that it has in our imagination today.
I can remember playing in the Hampshire Cup against a Pompey team. Usually, we had a man and a dog as watching us, this time there must have been 100 or so. They were all down one touch line and thought nothing about stopping the ball from going out or tripping/kicking the nearest player (i.e. me as I was playing right midfield). Quite a scary experience actually, its not like any police were there or anything. I recall just hoping that we didn't win!
Me too, but that was a game with oval balls not round ones! The lads were great though, even though I was the Scummer amongst them .......... helped that I was captain I guess
Remember a couple of lads wearing Pompey kit walking into the Saints shop, walking around and as they left, one said that he felt like he "was infected". Nobody gave him grief though. I wouldn't even let my son wear his Saints shirt to the cinema in Fareham. I have always been surprised how much hatred some Pompey fans have the red and white stripes. I am sure that Redknapp is right about no Saints shirts in Portsmouth but this will be partly loyalty to the local club, but also fear from genuine Saints fans working/living/visiting Portsmouth who don't want a load of aggro.
Oh no! Not the cocker spaniel! As for the % figure-I must be turning into Beddytare....you know what I meant
My street know who I support but I have to say I would never wear it out and about! That said, my neighbours son-in-law refuses to be in their garden if I am outside also, that's too easy so if ever I hear his voice I go out to ensure he doesn't see the sun .
