Reds in the burgh – Liverpool Fans in Edinburgh

Just to announce to all you reds out there that we will be holding a special charity night at the park bar next wednesday in aide of the “Save John Arne Riise” fund. Pelirrojo will be running the tombola, JC is running the raffle (or “Rafa-el” as it will be known on the night) and Mat will be running the “guess how many sweets in the jug” competition. Unfortunatley we couldnt get a large jug or any sweets so instead it will be “guess the size of the barmaids jugs”. Bob will be there too (probably lurking in the background skimming off the proceeds for his own material gains).

If you want more information on the good and worthy cause that we are supporting then check out:

and remember, please give whatever you can afford, no matter how small. Every penny raised will help make life better for poor john boy.

thanks for listening…..

I was out in the pub on saturday night with some fellow reds in the burgh when I started discussing the famous aristocrats joke. Of course my friends, being dull of mind and slow of wit, had not heard of this legendary joke. So for the benefit of them and any others out there here is a quick summary.

The Aristocats is an exceptionally transgressive dirty joke that has been told by numerous stand-up comedians since the vaudevillle era. It has been likened to a secret handshake among comedians, and it is seen as something of a game in which those who tell it try to top each other in terms of shock value. It is rarely told the same way twice, often improvised, and is thought of as a badge of honour among expert comedians and is notoriously hard to perform successfully.

My own personal favourite is this gem from South Park:

… but if you want to see how far some people are prepared to go, or even fancy having a go yourself (I see an opportunity here for you pelirrojo) then check this out:

OK folks. We all know that there are plenty of southern fairies down south of the Watford gap but I am pretty sure this guy isnt a Chelsea fan. First a but of background reading is required:

Twelve priests were about to be ordained. The final test was for them
to line up in a straight row, totally nude, in a garden while a sexy,
beautiful, big breasted, nude model danced before them.

Each priest had a small bell attached to his weenie and they were told
that anyone whose bell rang when she danced in front of them would not be ordained because he had not reached a state of spiritual purity.

The beautiful model danced before the first candidate, with no reaction. She proceeded down the line with the same response from all the priests until she got to the final priest, Carlos.

Poor Carlos. As she danced, his bell began to ring so loudly that it flew off, clattering across the ground and laid to rest in nearby foliage. Embarrassed, Carlos quickly scrambled to where the bell came to rest. He bent over to pick it up……

Then all the other bells started to ring.

In South Africa there’s been an advertising war among the top end car Marketers.

1. BMW starts an advertisement

2. Audi answers.

3. Subaru steps in to say something too.

4. The CEO of Bentley does an advertisement to answer all the others.

Steve Gerrard picked up his MBE from the Queen at Buckingham palace today. He was honoured in the New Years Honours earlier in the year. "I’ve played in special games with special people but I’ve never experienced anything like this," he said.
