One of the British will do it to me.

Post by Oscar Namechange »

In all of today's newspaper headlines here in Britain, there is a particually nasty story.

Knowing my fellow British Fockers by now, I just know that by the time i come home, one of them will have taken the pleasure in starting a thread on this story just to be pesky to me. It's got to happen, I just know it will. :(:(:(

Question is, which one of my annoying countrymen would do this to me with such glee.

Panto Andy?

GMC?

Galbladder?

Jimbo?

El Guapo?

Chookie?

Clodhopper?

The papers are full of headlines today so it could be any of many stories but don't i just know by now that I'm a sitting duck waiting to be sniped at? :(:(

Without giving my main suspect any clue's...... Just answer yes or no OK? :)

Have you seen all the papers this morning?

Do you have a clue as to which story i am refering to?

Would you agree that it is best not to tip off the Scottish one?

Do not mention one bloody word of that story please.

Oscar, you must have confidence in the behavior of the Foccer's. I plead with you passionately. You have the abiltiy to see a problem, and deal with it, and go on with your posts.

I have always hated that video Jimbo.

Hugh looks like he's way out on cocaine (probably was :sneaky:)

And Jean Jacque :-4:-4 looks dead shifty.

This live version is much more finely tuned. :sneaky:

Oh yes Odie but they are pesky British friends who would find this story very very funny as Jimbo has. Jimbo is being loyal and not giving in to temptation.... the others may :):):)

Pete had a mild chest infection this week. Nothing too serious but he got worse yesterday and last night. It is so cold here and a lot of the meet was outside so it was out of the question for him to go. I just felt bad going off for nearly two days and leaving him with the dogs etc etc.

i'd just love to go in your local pub doing my demented act telling your friends i'm a long lost brother i can picture it now :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:


That would be 'well mint' as my teenage nephew would say. The Home of The lesser spotted Spot and the Greater Spotted Oscar and Peter Lake.

I must warn you that i am a celebrity in my neck of the woods. I get stopped in the street i'll have you know. (no not to ask how much). We could have some wicked wind up's round here. As everyone knows me too well, I could tell them your Baz Warne from the Stranglers.... they'd fall for it and you'd get free drinks all night :yh_rotfl (Probably get sued by Baz Warne but it's worth a punt). Last time my bro came up, we passed him off as CID Flying Squad :yh_rotfl

Spot and us could be hosts and and we could pass Spot off as 'Jethro' or 'Bill Bailey' :yh_rotfl

Oscar's making plans :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:

Yes, I've heard many other British types make similar statements in the past. Of course you can come over here whenever you like, and test that interesting assumption at your own convenience madam.

Good day. ;)

I do tend to avoid the small green gaff of yours on acoount of not understanding the language, the currancy or your street signs. Although, i was forced to a Dublin gig to see the Stranglers and have attend race-meetings there called 'Fairyhouse' and 'Leopardstown. However, they are the enjoyable things in life and one must suffer where one must in order to gain pleasure in life. A bit like coming here on FG.
