For feck's sake we are in an open air stadium. Then wait and see what happens if you pull out a hip flask...<br /><br />Angola lost two nil tonight. AGAIN cos they were just eleven pissy individuals trying to score all by themselves instead of playing as a team.<br /><br />I do a lot of business in Angola so believe me when I say, if one of them passes you something, make sure the pin is still in it.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-3381722193257546972012-01-30T17:24:24.346+01:002012-01-30T17:24:24.346+01:00I have seen Angola play.

They played Iran in a 1-1 draw.<br /><br />We traveled up on the train from Kaiserslautern where we'd watched Paraguay turn over Trinidad the night before. We were still pissed, and once off the train we couldn't find the ground. If I remember rightly the local facists were marching in protest at Angola and Iran playing in their town.<br /><br />We only got to our seats at half time. I asked some bloke what the first had had been like, and he told me it had been shit.<br /><br />Once the second half started we got chatting to a couple of blokes from Mexico, and then some woman with large breasts produced a huge bottle of vodka. There was seven or eight of us in the end, sitting chatting and drinking, and my mate staggered off and came back with about 50 sausages!<br /><br />Suddenly someone said, "Oh, it's over!" We looked around, and there were about 20 people left in the stadium.<br /><br />What's not to like about football?The Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345021580985320660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-22443243094466460622012-01-29T22:57:27.581+01:002012-01-29T22:57:27.581+01:00Actually I don't use moisturisers a lot myself...Actually I don't use moisturisers a lot myself, but I do occasionally dabble in Jenny's (highly expensive) L'Ocitane as I get very inflamed skin on my forehead. Oddly enough, what gets rid of it fastest is not moisturiser but sunscreen.<br /><br />Okay, you can get back to the footie now.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-38344417145421385332012-01-29T21:47:33.189+01:002012-01-29T21:47:33.189+01:00And you don't drink whisky either, Nick.
We...And you don't drink whisky either, Nick. <br /><br />Well if we bumped into each other in the pub, it'll be a pretty interesting conversation with me avoiding all topics sporting or thuggish and you decently not talking to me about moisturiser. I have never ever used moisturizer in my life. I don't even use shampoo, the same bar of soap I scrub my body with does for my head too. Mind you, once we move out of the house and down to the seaside, we will camping so I will be washing in a bucket of river water until the first of the cottages is built.<br /><br />I lie, I have just remembered that when I got toasted in Northen Ireland, they used Eusol (Edinburgh University Solution) and Flammazene all over me at Musgrave Park Hospital, I suppose they could be considered moisturisers.<br /><br />See? We do have something in common and who'd have thought.

It sounds like you won't be moving out a minute too soon.<br /><br />One of my many un-masculine traits is having no interest whatever in football or any other sports, except maybe gymnastics which is always worth watching for the sheer grace and agility. Males who make my acquaintance and assume football will be a sure-fire conversation-starter are sorely disappointed. They'd do better with their favourite moisturisers.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-11743786853969339112012-01-29T10:45:27.155+01:002012-01-29T10:45:27.155+01:00I couldn't agree more, I like going to games b...I couldn't agree more, I like going to games but football on TV leaves me cold and bored, the conventions of the way its filmed leave out all the off-the-ball play that make the game. <br /><br />Your phone answering reminds me of a chap I used to work with who had married a very hot Brazilian chick who went by the name Lilian the Brazilian, every day she would ring his mobile which had its own ring tone to announce her call, he'd answer "hello immigration". They are now divorced.<br />SBWThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.com
