Going for a pint with your old man is not a party.

Was an irish family but not a D.
It didn't help matters that me and a mate decided to draw on his with permanent marker pen as we thought he was £#%&!ed.....he was dead
First time I;ve seen a policeman walk in on a dead body and laugh at a corpse with elvis sideburns and bushy drawn on eyebrows

@#%&!


Just found this


I lived with my mam and sisters in one of those prefabs and stayed until they started to pull them down which was great because it was nearlt bonfire night and me and me mates had as much wood and stuff to burn due to us ripping out great chunks of wall from inside empty houses. We used to have to fight off rival gangs as far away as Sharston and Benchill, they either stole all they could carry or just set the bonni on fire. The night before nov 5 we had four fire engines turn up putting out our bonfire which they claimed was a danger to the rest of the enpty prefabs........When our house was next we had the opportunity to go and live in Partington!!! Winsford!!!! or in me mam's words .. Marple in the beautiful Goyt valley, thankfully she chose the latter. we left the prefabs in 1963, but I'll remember them forever, after all that was the first house we ever lived in that had a built-in fridge!!!!

That would allow, Hernandez to foarm a partnership up-front with either, Wellbeck, Berbatov Or Owen & I reckon our young mexican is capable of having successful goalscoring partnership with any of those three & of cause there would be the added bonus of, Cleverly alongside, Rooney in midfield
