" If i could afford the wood,i would have ya mouth boarded up"
. . Nicked off Chubby Brown but usually does the trick.
An area where i used to live had a newsagents , which was then owned by a die hard Man City fan. He was married to a nice looking lass, who whilst was a bit highly strung, was in general a nice girl. She tolerated his home and away devotion with gritted teeth.
One day, she told him she wanted to go somewhere, that clashed with a city game. A row erupted when he informed her he had every intention of going watching City. She said to him, “you think more of that bloody Man city than you do of me”
He replied, " I think more of Manchester United than I do of you "
They seperated some 2 years later. I don’t know why though.
Years ago whilst working on the M1 at night I helped another driver limp his truck into a service area to effect repairs for him to get home. One of the other drivers was underneath the truck sorting out something and the driver of the broken truck turned to me and asked what I was waiting around for and I wasn’t needed and could [zb] off.
I calmly pointed out that I wasn’t leaving until the other driver, from my depot had emerged AND ALSO my tools and my torch was being used.
The driver with the broken truck had left all his gear at his home depot as he felt if the truck broke down then he got towed out.
Yeah, like that’s gonna happen with a cherrypicker with the legs stuck in the ‘out’ position. I think he was also the one that suggested they be cut off and loaded on the back of the lorry for the drive back to base…
I’m not usually quick on retorts and can be considered dim witted sometimes. Although I have stopped getting angry with people now, I just try and walk away and if they do it enough, ignore them until it stops being a problem…
The last time I had a problem with a gate/security guard I asked them, in Welsh, if I spoke Welsh. Now, I can say a few words but not much. Was given a blank face, called a ‘forrn’r’ and let through. Result!
