Good result, will need to be better against the Dutch on Wednesday night though.

I went to the game in 96. I was battered and barely remembered anything about the game, apart from Gazza's goal of course. It turns out I missed very little

And the quote I’ve always wanted to do when we visit a Newcastle pub - “Pint of bitter” click fingers “In a thin glass.” - Never had the nerve to do it though!
I've always wanted to walk stark bollock naked down my street wielding a 12 bore shotgun. I might try it at 8pm this Thursday evening just to savour the applause.

Glenda, you don't offer a man like Jack a drink in these piddling little glasses. Give him the bloody bottle.
"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
I once borrowed from this line when I went on a hitchhiking and camping trip in 1981 with a spoilt Italian friend who was over visiting at the time. He'd been getting on my nerves since he'd arrived in England but the straw which broke the camel's back was when we had just pitched the tent.
It was my tent and wasn't exactly a top of the range one, having last been used on a family camping trip when I was a kid in about 1973. It was one of those old canvas tents so was quite heavy and bulky, but my spoilt Italian friend hadn't even had to carry it because he was slow enough walking as it was so I had borne that burden the entire time without complaint.
My nerves were already frayed by his constant whining. I had just pitched the tent in the Cheddar Gorge late in the evening with virtually no help from him (he had held the torch). But he then made the mistake of criticising my tent and boasting how he had a tent back in Italy which was much better and that my tent was essentially crap (he did have a point).
But after what had been a very trying day, him slagging off my tent finally did it for me. I told him that if my tent wasn't good enough for him he could sleep outside whereupon I got in my tent and told him he wasn't allowed in. He then started to insincerely apologise to me for criticising my tent and begging me to let him in. I told him he didn't have to apologise to me as I wasn't remotely offended, it was my tent that he'd offended, so if he cared to apologise to my tent, like I knew he was going to.....
The apology he offered my tent was even less sincere to the one he had offered me so I made him keep apologising until my tent felt he was genuinely and sincerely apologetic. I eventually let him in but not until he was virtually in tears and begging.
I never saw my Italian friend again once he returned to Italy. Surprisingly he did try and stay in touch but all his correspondence went unanswered.
