    They all looked like the usual feral chavs you find in these horrible towns and cities.

      I sense crazy in the air.
      And that was the fans of one team celebrating a victory. On Friday 18th June, Scotland play England. If that goes badly for the Scots (I'm being kind to them by using 'if' where 'when' seems more appropriate) one ought to expect quite a lot of mental.
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          It's a bunch of Swansea Jacks, they've barely got enough brain cells to rub together.

          "Twin Town (1997)" was a documentary.

          It was bad enough 45 years ago when I used to fix tellys up there.

          It's the fecking wild west now.

          The Esteemed Establishment wherein I spent 14 years of my preretirement isn't very far from there.

          The one good thing about moving the thing down the docks was that it's much further away from the yobbery.

          Apart from the Esteemed Customers of course.

          It's one of life's little ironies that the area with the most fantastic views over Swansea Bay is inhabited by morlocks.

          When the fun stops, STOP.

            Unlikely seeing as how the celebtrating 'fans' were Rangers fans who generally support England anyway.
