THE BRITISH THREAD II

It enables men to show off their prowess to passing females in the hope, quite often realised, that they will be impressed enough to submit to being impregnated with superior spermatozoa and be enabled to buy the latest fashion in handbags and have remote control garage doors.

Did you think sport had any other function Queenie?

Sheesh!

I would enroll in another Arts Course if I was you.

Thanks. It took me ages. Out now to get paper. Police helicopter circling overhead...fortunately my bicycle has front and rear SAMs

Helicopter flew away. Didnt need surface to air missiles. Barrett Model 82A1 sniper rifle was enough...on another thread (the VT shootings and gun control) Oralloy says civilians need such a weapon, I'm taking no chances.

Doesn't look so good for the Gunners (watching it only partly).

Soon get down don't you. Have you no faith. They pulverised them from what I could tell.

And ManU only got ONE point due to the referee. (It was a penalty!!!)

Nobody actually likes ManU, except maybe Steve and Mathos.

I don't.

Mrs Walter does quite a bit and I a bit as well. :wink:

(I only by traditional religious reasons, Mrs W, because she thinks to know a lot about football.)

One cannot like, in the sense that it is a word like love, Man U, because it is an absract concept. A commercial enterprise. A public company no less and a bureaucratic entity. It has very similar characteristics to those Franz Kafka analyses.

When one identifies oneself with such a thing one is expressing a liking for oneself when one likes the thing. It is a self caress and as such flattering.

Were Man U to be at the foot of Div 2 they would scamper off like a bunch of nuns seeing the Mongol hordes.

The team are hard-working sandwich-board men.

When the team wins, and Man U win a lot and thus have a lot of people identifying themselves with it, the "fans" feel a rosy glow of self satisfaction for sitting on their arse drinking cups of tea for 2 hours.

It was a stitched on penalty but everybody knows what happens to refs when they give a penalty to the visiting side at Old Trafford. I was surprised he didn't give one at the other end at the death.

I reckon they muscle ten points out refs every season which puts them third- not top. You can't blame them.

How Scholes doesn't get sent off every match is inexplicable otherwise.

It's an ego thing. "We've won" they say.

Well done Spendius;- My faith in your philosophical outlook is renewed, a little like having my soul saved! The pursuit of wisdom by an intellectual man! A science combining logic, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics and epistemology.

You thick bastard, its a game of football giving pleasure to millions (especially Man U) all across the globe, and I daresay the trolls on planet X in the third dimension tune into every game they play without fail.

Do you enjoy hearing yourself waffle, prattle and fart?

It's quite good fun yes. Why else would I do it?

How come you made no mention of the 10 points start the refs give Man U every season. That's another game and it's better than the one on the field. There's more fouling and not a lot of supervision.

But I enjoyed the game myself. I was hoping Boro would score a few and get you lot weeping.

Especially not Gary Neville. What a moaning git, and thick as a plank.

Being contenders for

1. THE PREMIERSHIP

2. THE FA CUP

3. THE EUFA CUP

Say it all, I rest my case you jealous envious miserable bastards!

Smorgs will come back and discipline you.

Did anybody mention that the last in table won one point, against ....?

Hey up Smorgsi, I've missed the old gal since I came back Mac, what have you lot done to her?

Shut up Walt. Bloody Jutlander.

Search me. Furlough or sabbatical, or whatever they call bunking off these days.

Maybe she eloped to Gretna Green with another Jock?

Well lets hope all is ok for her, and her relative. Regards Smorgsi.x
