My 8-year old was playing an old version of FIFA on the x-Box – FIFA 2010, I think it was. He asked me who was the best goalkeeper back then. I was struggling to think but mentioned Buffon from Juventus – I don’t know if he played for Juventus or not, to be honest, but it was a name that came to mind.
He said: “Juventus? I don’t play as foreign teams. I only play as Barclays teams”
Not English, British or Premier League teams but Barclays teams.
As an old lawyer I worked with once remarked when we suggested changing the date format on client letters, “It’s the beginning of the end!!”
I thought people referring to it as EPL was bad, and then recently I’ve seen it as BPL.
Not long before teamsheets contain Adidas Ronaldo and McDonalds Rooney.
I don’t get it? Is it a joke?And here’s me thinking you saw yourself as something of an intellectual. ;)
It’s not hard, really. My lad refers to the top division of English football as the Barclay’s league not the Premier league. The point being, the relevance he gives to the commercial sponsor.

So does our manager ! ;)

If you want to stay “in the clique”, it maybe advantageous to keep your posts even remotely interesting.

F*** me, it’s Peter Ustinov!!
Anyway, it’s my clique, apparently. So, if you want to have even the remotest chance of joining it, I’d suggest you go and sit, and preferably pass, your eleven plus.

Come on now Griff, don’t get upset over a bit of constructive criticism, I know you are a little bit sensitive over your writing, but I do not think I am exaggerating when I say that your post is the most boring post I’ve read on this site for a long while.
Tip: Quality before quantity.

Upset? Why would I be upset? Any sensitivity over my writing would be easily offset by a quick look at the sales figures. Your critical assessment of my post’s quality – or anything for that matter – really carries no weight whatsoever because what on earth do you know about quality?
Look, I am trying my best to completely ignore the few proper mongs that still exist on this board (Wiganmon has been quiet lately, and maybe he has only gone away for the special school holidays but, either way, his absence is a bonus) and so now I will start to ignore you, too.
It will be hard, because you won’t let this go, of course. You never do, just like the Al Habsi thread some time ago when you had your idiocy pointed out to you and didn’t like it and proceeded to stalk my every post for weeks afterwards.
Now, don’t bother spending hours coming up with (what you will think is) a clever reply because I won’t be responding. I have the world’s dullest project plan to write this afternoon and even that is infinitely more interesting than dealing you.
By the way, the ;) I included in my original reply was intended to convey a little light-hearted banter. The fact that you chose to turn it into a slanging match says more about you than it does about the quality/interest of my posts.
You’re a very angry man, aren’t you? Are you short in stature, perchance? You remind me of that aggrressive Harry Enfield character from a few years back.
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation.
Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off – then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.
This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

Sounds like a whale of a tale to me.
