Might have mentioned this before but about 15 years ago we were on a Med Cruise for my sister’s wedding. Anyhow, we stopped at Mykonos one day and we were down the harbour bit. My cousin’s (now) husband said to me “what the fuck is that?” I replied “It’s a pelican”. He (being deadly serious btw) replied “fucking hell! I thought it was a dinosaur”. 
He’s from Sunderland like. Aye, mate. They still have dinosaurs in Greece 👍🏻

Did he try to fuck it and say he was checking if it was injured?

I'm amazed the marra who formed olympiacos never mentioned it in his historical journal that an MLF found in his cousin's loft but nobody from the greek club can confirm”.

Actually watched it. Fuck knows why  as you say, what a boring bastard. I also got the distinct impression his fascinating tale about how the conversation with the Sky executive was the idealised ‘this is what I should have said’ version of events

Fake news. The guv'ment have put mind control devices in roundabouts. When the static energy builds as it goes round and round it does things to the impulses in your brain that makes you go 'weeeeeeee', before ultimately causing you to lose your balance and then spew up your chicken nuggets and beans that you had for dinner. All to keep you in line for the NWO to do some shit with crypto currency, AI and covid.

 

It's all in this pamphlet that @Nefilim gave me. It's really informative, but in short Matt Le Tissier wouldn't be seen dead on a roundabout. He has all of his conversations on a see saw, and I think you know this you big spreader of misinformation!

Northern England : Newcastle/New Zealand 

 

Cockneys : Manchester

The north is anywhere north of the Mersey /Humber watershed. Ipso facto QED Mancyland is NORTH

As you'd expect things are flipped here, the south island is definitely the "north" of NZ

Been in Manchester for nearly 10 years, it’s a great place to live with generally decent (city/stockport fans) people. 
 

Still not sure I would count it as the “north”. People are just a little different the further north you go (better), but it’s not the midlands. The mancs don’t deserve being lumped in with those mutants.

[Alex 37886]

For ‘Slipless in Settle’, Harry Pearson’s book about northern cricket. He used his dad’s definition of ‘the north’. I’m paraphrasing here but it’s a line starting at the Humber and going directly across the country to roughly where Southport is. He said it would come as a surprise to many that Geoff Boycott is not, therefore, from the north. But it provides the only reasonable explanation as to why the aforementioned cricketer is a Man Utd fan
