You are confused. My wife was going to drive so I could drink and pretend I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour whilst the film footage unfurled. However, when we decided to have a meal with friends, I agreed to drive so she could have a glass of Merlot with her meal. I see what you are suggesting, that my wife can only cope with marriage to me by seeking refuge in the bottle. I can assure you she wears the trousers, and is entirely moderate with her consumption of alcohol. Given you are a Glaswegian of Irish stock, it concerns me that you would automatically assume that everyone uses alcohol abuse as a default coping strategy. Certainly, my visits to Glasgow have left me with an impression that the city's denizens are so depressed by their deinsustrialised misfortunes that they get blotto most nights. A similar, if not so extreme, response is evident in Birmingham and other provincial cities.
I am a moderator, of sorts. By my very presence here I raise the tone and vibration of these boards so that all realise they have to up their game now that The Mentalist Three have shown themselves the red card. For a few games, at least.
Where do you live in Glasgow? Are you a 'Ned'? Do you wear acryllic tracksuits from Peacocks or Matalan? Do you live in one of those high-rises visible from the ring road as I drive into the centre to park at that concrete cage car park opposite the central Travelodge? Or are you a rich suburbanite? I assume you are a Celtic fan. Some hilarous idiot here tried to link me to someone called 'Shaun The Brumme' who was a rabid, racist Celtic fan. Lots of my Irish Brummie mates are Celtic fans and nearly everyone I know in Dublin is a Man U fan, whilst others in Ulster support Aston Villa for some obscure reason. Are you sporty? Do you play 5-A-Side when you clock off from the Jobcentre Plus role?
Yes, this is 'off-topic' so if you want to continue this conversation, there is a basement club called 'The Pigsty' where you can make speculations about my relationship without incurring the wrath of the moderators. Hopefully, they will be forgiving towards you today, but don't do it again. OK?
With every good wish, and in jubilation that you enjoyed Morrissey's concert film. The reviews are generally lukewarm, but sometimes reviews are wrong. If the film is popular with Neds, then I will have to re-evaluate my response.
regards.
