Last week a sales rep came into work and offered my boss and myself a ticket each plus hospitality for the rags Chumps League match on Tuesday. I said thanks but no thanks. Personally I couldn't think of anything worse than being surrounded by prawn sandwich munching plastic rags for an evening, I'd probably end up being thrown out for hurling abuse at them. Was I ungrateful for turning the ticket down? Would you have done the same?

he would still be unrecognised as the grand wizard of speed metal

You should have said yes then not turned up.


Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, nor can any be replaced.

I had a similar discussion with a mate the other night.  He took his kids to see England v Albania at the Swamp. Give him his due he hated it (all his family are blues), my own opinion is that I won't set foot inside the place unless City are playing.


If at first you don't succeed pull your foreskin over your heed.

That's what I said.

And that includes England games for me. I'd feel tainted.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the gesture but he just couldn't understand why I didn't want to go. Idiot.

You should have said "Sorry, I'm a City fan and we don't take bungs!"

There's a rag in the pub, and after the match the other week, he was showing people the booklet season ticket thingy, for sitting behind the glass windows in the corporate shit.  He kept waving it under my nose, so i grabbed it, held it in the air, flicked my lighter on and stood with the pair inches apart.  I said if you do that again i will burn this. 

Thankfully he didn't do it again.  Could have cost £3 grand as well.
