Where you from then? Oh the divorce is long gone and hasn't been an issue once the first 18 months were done. It wasn't messy or like some of my friends where there was mutual hatred it was just 2 people growing apart. Both parties survived and moved on. I've heard the Cockney Bow Locks, it'a an original dialect isn't it. I am a little north of the Bow bells, about 170 miles in fact but I don't class myself as a northerner I am a Midlander. My footy team have just been promoted and so will be playing your beloved Hammers this year (probably only the one season) so if you get to Stoke keep going is my advice It will be our Delilah against your Forever blowing bubbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot of the Storm Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I may be wrong but isn't 'Pilao and Curry' Rice and Curry. Yeah, it is, but back in '79 and coming from 'up North' we'd never heard of 'pilao'. That was summat yer rested yer head on whilst in bed!! Had it been patty 'n' chips, we'd have been laughing.

You a "Potter" then? What a coincidence, my first and only arrest was at a Stoke V Westham game in 1972, copper said I attacked six Stoke fans, court threw it out, they couldn't believe it, Lucky me. Stoke, nice place, not as friendly as Nottingham to me if you know what I mean. What do you think of Miss Honey Drippers "Tat's" then mate, and no I'm not dyslexic. http://forums.ledzeppelin.com//index.php?s...=6557&st=80 post 85.

Hi Evster, In answer to your question, The Hammers are the nickname of WestHam United from the East End of London. Like your Monty Python quote but Coventry City did eventualy win the FA cup in 1987. Coventry City 3 Tottenham Hotspur 2, after extra time Anything else English, you only have to ask, Your servant, Danny PS. I know you were not really asking a question PPS. What is this Football you "Yanks" speak of.? The rest of the world play football with their feet but you lot pick the ball up and run with it, it's more like our Rugby. PPPS. I still love's ya baby.
