Football

refrains from inviting clive to my necrophilliacs anonymous classes

Clive I know like most lawyers you never let the truth get in the way of bending the facts to serve your purposes.

But let's be clear, as much as I enjoy the football journalists the guardian employs, I've never been an apologist for lineker, loved him as a striker for spurs, fond memories of him in the 86 and 90 world cups, but his televisual stylings leave me cold.

Also if that's the most you can say about my football predilictions then I'm touched as your penchant for conspiracy theories, wild accusations, blind loyalty and ingrained belief that Chelsea are a stylish team, push you to the very edge of the lunatic margins of football society. With the scary thing being within the Chelsea enclave of season ticket holders you sit with, you are the voice of reason..

I would ask, do you watch motd?

Also: if you are a fan, from fanatic, then your description of clive is something we should all aspire to. Blind faith, unwavering support of your team.
This of course puts him in the same, self-confessed, category as Jeez.

Sitting on the pseudo-intellectual fence with you as a "fan" of football, merely marks us out as plastics. Pre-1990 plastics. But plastics, nonetheless.

Plastic I will be then, Chalfie, Plastic till I die, Plastic till I die, I know I am, I'm sure I am, Plastic till I die..

Well.

At least now we can concentrate on the league.

which league ? league 2 ?

Plastic I will be then, Chalfie, Plastic till I die, Plastic till I die, I know I am, I'm sure I am, Plastic till I die..

Stand up if you hate tin foil, stand up if you hate tin foil.

Well.

At least now we can concentrate on the league.

As least you beat them over 90 minutes. More than Arsenal managed.

which league ? league 2 ?

DTM dicki.

which league ? league 2 ?
...Must spread blah...

Where were you when we were cling film?
Where were you when we were cling film?

Styrofoam mugs. Styrofoam muuuugggs.
We like our bovril, in styrofoam mugs.

would rep you some more chalfie, but I am unable..

keep them coming, and if you aren't on the REPLAY https://www.lfgss.com/thread96041.html then consider your football thread privileges revoked..

Highly unlikely I'll make the ride, I will try and make the ride end.

I am no longer allowed out on my own at weekends so I won't be there. All my life
rights were revoked over a year ago :(

In that case, in!

eh its in fucking march, activate your get out clause!
both of you, use the bollocks that produced the younger versions of yourselves to take a day off from the child rearing and ride your bikes with fellow football people..

Erm. Have you met my wife? The only time I can get out for a ride now is about 6 in the morning and Fuck that in the winter!

In that case, in!

In that case so am I!

Erm. Have you met my wife?

Yes I have. A delightful young woman. The words " far too good for you" spring immediately to mind and explain why you dare not let her out of your sight and why you will fawn around at her beck and call.

Er. Don't lump me in with Mike.
The reasons I'm saying "no" to the ride:
1) it's in central london
2) it's going to be busy
3) if it's a saturday, I'll be fucking TRAINING.
4) riding my bike through town, on fixie skidders, at no pace, dodging traffic, breathing fumes, and generally wondering "why the fuck am I not out somewhere nice" and "fuck me, why are people struggling "up" this "hill"" do not equate to "bright times and sunshine". However, drinking a beer with you all afterwards and watching football, while slagging off Mike, does appeal.

tl;dr
I'm being a cunt

Chalfie, be the cunt, if the only time you get on the bike is to go TRAINING, if riding in London isn't "nice" enough for you, and the joys of riding within a group of riders of mixed abilities just for the shits and giggles, are lost on you, then I believe your cycling life to be poorer for it.

Look forward to bumping my non alcoholic beverage into your alcoholic one at the pub afterwards..

tl:dr
riding a bike with others anywhere is fun..

I'll have you know Bow Flyover is quite steep
