    I went into a diner and asked for a chip cob, a half of bitter and a bag of scratchings and they looked at me gone out!

    Perhaps one of your foreign friends can spell apostrophe for you, and replace what for how :)

    The American pronunciation of "water" is "Budweiser" I believe

    Things that confuse me;

    People glory supporting Spurs.

    TikTok.

    My 25kg mongrel dog being terrified of Westies and cardboard tubes.

    Half a pint.

    Low fat cheese.

    Filming yourself at a football game.

    Vlogging and YouTubers in general.

    Spending hundreds of pounds on adding bits of tat to the outside of a 10 year old Seat Ibiza.

    How come when I hoover the carpet in our bedroom it looks no different but when my partner does it it looks like a plush, fine wool rug.

    We don’t get any spiders in our house except for those spindly, leggy ****s. Go two days without dusting or hoovering and every corner of the house has one in a pathetic little web.

    Why my car aggressively beeps at me when the temperature drops below 4 degrees. It’s the same noise as the parking sensors and the automatic break warning when the car in front slams it’s brakes on. It’s distressing.

    The Falklands.

    Arguing about politics on the internet.

    When I kick a football with my left foot I get a proper nice bend on it. It whips like a David Beckham cross. Where it goes is anyone’s guess but I’ve scored some beauties with my left. I’m right footed and I can’t get anywhere near that kind of bend with my stronger foot.

    Think that’s it.

    Whoops! I'm not even going to try arguing that or defending myself.

    Our American workmates (Texas, Tennessee and Minnesota) used to be amazed that "Scouse" Pete (Tuebrook), "Ozzie" Mark (Darwin) and myself "...all talked in the same accent...". TBF Mark refused to believe that Stryne was based on cockney until he met my 'born within earshot of the Bow bells' mum when she visited Vilnius...

    You’ve never known fear, until you’ve faced getting a haircut in the US. 30 minutes stuck in a chair, surrounded by people who enjoy talking to strangers for a living. Just awful. 10 years I’ve been here and I still dread it.

    The closest thing I can think of here would be getting a haircut in Yorkshire.

    Never been that far North for long enough to warrant a trim, so I’ll take your word on it.

    Getting out LBW despite everything I do . Taking a leg guard and my trigger movement
    is to go back . The finger goes up . Taking a middle and off guard then shuffling outside
    the line . Same problem. Finger goes up .

    Having a weight problem despite being 90% vegetarian and still active sport wise
    despite my years . I play cricket in the summer , jog twice a week and give the heavy
    punch bag, in the garage, a good seeing to twice a day M-F.

    Today's moosic . Not a clue what is in the top 10 .

    Luton fans who are ok . They are out there.

    Gary Linekar.

    Presumably when someone from Yorkshire meets a Welsh person they just get stuck in an endless feedback loop of telling each other where they’re from and how proud they are to be from there.

    I never take a bath, I only ever shower, yet somehow the bath always needs cleaning.

    When considering how big the universe is people identifying themselves as being from a particular country.
    It really is pointless.

    Wayne Lineker.

    Does he not understand how much of a creep people thing he is? He's pretty disgusting to be honest.

    Me neither. I assume he's related to the jug-eared crisp salesman?

    I don’t have any strong feelings about the disposal of Barker, Le Tissier et al. However, I am confused about how Lineker continually retains his place on the throne of BBC football coverage, at vast expense. Can’t stand the jug-eared twerp.
