Our Tracy went to see Sweeney Tod,and i thought the previews looked good,so i asked her what it was like,she told me “only the best film i’ve ever seen in my life”so this intrigued me,”what was so good about it?” “everything,the scenery,hummer, gory,songs,boss ending,try it dad you’ll love it” so i was thinking about it,i dont like musicals,but our Tra got me wondering about it……………….so i watched it………and as she said……..it was a totally brilliant film,very Gothic looking,you’d think it was a horror if you didnt know,and the murder story pulled it off as a musical with a great story and a brilliant ending that even i didnt see coming and i’ve watched some movies in my time,so dont think twice about seeing it,this has to be movie of 2008 unless something spectacular comes out?

I was outside Weatherspoons talking to Owen when he said “look at him Gaz,he’s got a plate in his hand” and the guy was standing outside the pub with a dinner plate in his hand……then…..he only gets in my cab…………………so the lad says “ye know what mate,2 quid they charge for a plate of chips and ye only get about 30 pence worth” so i say “goway,thats not good is it?” “it’s not is it,so i robbed the plate” so i have to say to him “i wouldent invite you round to ours for tea,i’d have to count the cutlery after you’d gone” looking in my mirror as i said it,i saw a big smile appear on his face as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife and fork “they were the first thing i robbed”……………. This country is going to the dogs!LOL.

I miss it,but in some ways i’m glad to see the back of it,took our tree down yesterday,imagine my surprise when i found a present i forgot to give the kids,their exited faces were a picture as they unwrapped it and opened the box…………………….unfortunately it was a puppy …..ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Wasn’t a bad one me and the Mrs managed to get out for a boogie and all that,Carl (one of the drivers) got hit over the head with a bottle but lucky for him his head was that soft it didn’t break,another driver who we shan’t name found himself quite brave under the influence of alcohol and while trying to get in the front door shouted “open the door you fucking slut” (don’t try this at home kids) and that’s not big or clever and must take some groveling to get forgiven lol.
And i got some lip off passengers,a young chav girl asked me “how did you get so blind” wondering what she was talking about i said” what ” so she asked the same again and it still never sunk in till she said “ye know,blind,you’ve got four eye’s”,realising then she was being insulting ,i didn’t let my shyness get in the way and asked “are you stupid”(and what i was going to say was i’ve only got two eye’s and glasses,if i had four eyes i’d be in a circus) but she just looked at me in a state of shock and said nothing,then her mate said “no she’s not stupid”and they got out,i’d have guessed she was stupid coz she didn’t understand the question lol.
Another young lad asked me “have you got a ciggy mate “so i said “no,i don’t smoke” then he muttered under his breath “you would say that wouldn’t ye” so i have to say “ye ,i would say that coz i don’t smoke and if i did would it be my job to keep you in cigs” the conversation finished for some reason then?

Scouse (pronounced /ˈskaʊs/) is the accent and dialect of English found in the north-western English city of Liverpool and in some adjoining urban areas of Merseyside. The Scouse accent is highly distinctive and sounds wholly different from the accents used in the neighbouring regions of Cheshire and rural Lancashire. Inhabitants of Liverpool are called Liverpudlians, but are more often described by the slang term Scousers.
The word Scouse was originally a variation of “lobscouse”[1], the name of a traditional dish of Scouse made with lamb stew mixed with hardtack eaten by sailors. Alternative recipes have included beef and thickened with the gelatin sauce found in cowheel or pig trotter in addition to various root vegetables. The word “lobscouse” may be of Norwegian origin (“lapskaus” in Norwegian), which is possible, considering the Viking background of the area, illustrated by the number of Merseyside place-names ending in “-by” (Formby, Crosby, Kirkby, Greasby, Pensby, Roby). Various spellings can still be traced, including “lobscows” from Wales, and some families refer to this stew as “lobby” rather than scouse, as in the Potteries (Stoke-on-Trent), where a ‘bowl of lobby’ is a welcome meal on a cold winter’s night.[citation needed] In Leigh, between Liverpool and Manchester, there is even a “Lobby shop”. The dish was traditionally the fare of the poor people, using the cheapest cuts of meat available, and indeed when no meat at all was available scouse was still made, but this “vegetarian” version was known as “blind scouse”.[citation needed] The term remained a purely local word until its popularisation in the sitcom Till Death Us Do Part, which some also believe to have introduced stereotypes about Liverpudlians.[2]
The roots of the accent can be traced back to the large numbers of immigrants into the Liverpool area in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries including those from the Isle of Man, Wales, Scotland and, most substantially, Ireland.[citation needed] The influence of these different speech patterns became apparent in Liverpool, distinguishing the accent of its people from those of the surrounding Lancashire and Cheshire areas. It is only recently that Scouse has been treated as a cohesive accent/dialect; for many years, Liverpool was simply seen as a melting pot of different accents with no one to call its own.[citation needed] The Survey of English Dialects ignored Liverpool completely, and the dialect researcher Ellis said that Liverpool [and Birkenhead] had “no dialect proper”.[3]
I think i might even publish my mrs secret scouse recipe ?
And the old joke about “blind scouse”……you couldent see any meat,when the war was on on they couldent get any,so the joke’s not that funny when you think about it?
