That’s very funny Dave. Have you ever considered a career in Stand up or comedy writing ? You were clearly wasted spending all those years teaching the art of written English.
I love nothing better than steak and kidney pudding and chips from my local chippie which has a new owner so I have returned. I boycotted it for a while because the previous owner was a very vicious man. One night he battered his wife.
a year or two back a friend of mine who is a West Bromwich Albion fan wanted to go and watch the Baggies play Preston North End. Now I'm not sure how these things work in proper sports but there was some limit to tickets. So he phoned Deepdale to buy the tickets and was asked if he was a genuine North End supporter. "Of course, have been since I was a boy," replied my good Methodist friend.
"Very good sir, before I proceed with the sale can you tell me the make of pies we sell at the ground?"
When you say "pasties", most people think of Cornwall and Cornish Pasties.
When you go and watch Bolton Wanderers play football at their home ground, half of the ground is sponsored by a local pastie company, Carrs, so as well as Cornish Pasties, I guess "Bolton Pasties" must be a thing, in Lancashire?
Having said that, I will mention that Matey is not misguided in his recommendations. When I was a kid we had two chippies, one sold Greens pies and a really greasy place selling Hollands. The queues (in those days when we had queues at chippies) were always at the Hollands one - and it wasn't for their greasy fish and chips. Hollands Steak and Kidney Puddings also recommended.
Ive been enjoying Hollands Pies for over 65 years. There’s nothing to beat devouring the warm meat pie and savouring the delicious jelly gravy as the pastry crust falls apart on being bitten into.
In fact, all their pies and puddings are outstanding.
Yes, I can believe it.
a number of years ago in early 2000 I once preached to 7,000+. many believed it was stand-up
I promise last one. incident did happen
Okay Dave, cool it now. We've had our fun. Let's get back to the wrestling.

NOW FOR A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

you must be putting off so many with your dry sense of humour
Can’t think why you’re not getting any new posters or why the ex pros tend to keep away ...fascinating stuff this, real cutting edge ... 🤪
Thanks William. I'll pass your message on to my Baggies friend.
Have you changed your email address? Let us know if you have.
Now here's a story. I apologise for those not liking us getting off topic

Err...................
It's a bit like pasties.

Bringing me into your wars.
Anyway, it's good you're feeling better enough to start to push us again Matey.
Remember, we do have a thread where you can post all your irrelevancies without needing to rely on the current festive/vaccine goodwill

Stick to the wrestling (or close to it).
