you,d be surprised

man u liverpool chelski arsenal.

im not denying a life was lost just pointing out that every time someone tops themselves its not always because they are depressed.

wht is it being assumed this person suffered from depression,just because someone decides to take their life it dosent mean they suffer from depression or any type of mental illness for that matter. i do appreciate that sometimes it does go hand in hand but there are numerous other reasons why people commit suicide and not just because they are depressed.

i told my mother i had bought a theatre. are you having me on she replied. well i said you can have an audition but im not promising anything.

does that make you some sort of big man then that you dont have a top whereas i do.

why are english people buried at 12 ft instead of the usual 6. because deep down they,re not a bad lot.

mm i think you mean 15mins of entertainment crammed into 8 hrs of general boredom. thats why there are bars at cricket grounds and one is able to sit and get sozzled,because it would be a bloody long day if you had to sit there sober. why do the crowds always seem so bouyant nothing to do with whats on the pitch,its because they,re all pissed and have to make their own entertainment.

nothing wrong with a top on a pint sometimes its the only way to make the pisswater you get over here palatable

i,ve just returned from a long weekend in munich and feck me what a wonderful place, spent 3 days eating meat and drinking from steins, tried as many local brews as possible but i have drank probably the best beer i have ever tasted called hacker pschorr. now being an irishman i consider my self a bit of an expert on various types of beer and have consumed manys a different brew in order to make my mind up but i have to say without doubt that hacker pschorr now occupies no 1 spot in the spadetownboy league of beers. whats your all time no 1 beer ever.

i used to be a regular in the hamlet as the vale was known in one of it previous guises, and it was owned by two irish boys frank and eugene, they also had a few other ventures one being the sportsman in crystal palace. being an irish owned business it was obviously popular with the local irish population a lot of whom were builders labourers etc and if truth be told it was a bit of a rough joint but the craic was good and you were more or less guaranteed a lock in most nights,hence the attraction for me. the two owners were to be fair very affable and friendly characters and certainly sorted me out several times with a sub when i was short towards the end of the month, they obviously were,nt short of a few bob and it showed with the yearly change of jag and jewellery etc. anyway to cut a long story short late 90s approx 98,99 i went for a pint one night to find the place closed after a few enquiries it was discovered frank had hightailed it back to ireland double quick time,eugene wasnt so quick and got scuffed by the old bill.nothing else was known until a few weeks later on the front of the news of the world* was a picture of the hamlet underneath the title multimillion pound scam. turned out that what had been happening was that all the irish builders who were drinking in the 2 pubs got paid thur/fri evening by cheque and cashed them at the pubs with a percentage of commision being added/deducted by the pub owners for the privilage of cashing the cheques. between the several venues and over a period of approx 10 yrs this amounted to millions if i remember correctly it was estimated they skimmed approx 14 million. anyway as far as i know frank was never caught and eugene got 7 years for his troubles. *thats the one and only time i ever bought the news of the world.
