Greaseman - What a plonker

[tombrown]

The guy in Plesseys had his whole bald top polished in, with a ruler straight "fringe" - very funny looking. Used to run in the rain. When I first started there in 1988 folks told me about him, but didn't believe it until I saw it.

Bit sad really, apparently he lived in a bedsit in Old Swan and used to leave work at 5pm each day & work his way from pub to pub, with one chippy en route, til he got home, get up the next morning & come straight to work, where he would wash up, brush his teeth and (presumably) add a new coat of cherry blossom, just to start the whole thing over again. I suspect he is no longer with us ...

In other news.. Barcelona have been reported to FIFA for an illegal approach on Griezemann.

Talking to family members, which is against the rules.

Sounds familiar......

That wasn't the famous "cherry blossom" at Plesseys in Edge Lane was it? Not sure he had a missus though, so probably not

I met this guy once, in the rain. Fucking hilarious.

Do your costume as realistic as you want as long as you dont do a blackface. What's the problem?

I never have and never will do black face I was just curious if there was circumstance where turning your skin black was acceptable for a costume.

I did it 5 years ago as 'Mr T' at a fancy dress party, not really thinking it through due to significant daily alcohol, divorce and depression. I won first prize though!!

I remember seeing those picture and it was brilliant and that's kinda where my query comes from as without the skin colour I don't think it would have had anywhere hear as much impact

I guess it was acceptable 6 or 7 years ago before Social Media went Mental. I still have the picture on my phone if you want me to Whatsapp it to you Pat? Haha.

Barca should get banned from transfers for 18 months, take that Coutinho!!

I would have a party to celebrate Barca getting an 18 month transfer ban.

If it started in the summer serious tantrums would be thrown by Phil next month

Ballbag reckons they can't sign Greaseman AND Coutinho and that the former is priority.
