Nothing to do with poetry or art or anything like that.I was on the train out of town this morning, musing on the arse-biscuits mentioned in previous posts, and it just came to me how many people associated with English football have backside-related names. In a very short space of time, I came up with
Walter Winterbottom
Arsene Wenger
Dean Windass
Nicky Butt
John Bumstead
Rear Ferdinand (okay, that's a cheat)
The country is billions in debt, we're all screwed for the next twenty years and this is what occupies my mind...
Don't tell, but I love your particular brand of humor.
ReplyDeletePete - I think what's occupying your mind and the state of the country are related.
ReplyDeleteAndrey Arshavin from Arsenal?
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought the folks on Coronation Street made up that "Windass" name. How on earth did a kid ever live that down?
ReplyDeleteHey! What about Nicky Butt?
Don't mind me; I'll get a brain back in my head one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI'm back (for a re:buttal).
ReplyDeleteNot an arse per se, but there is always Bolton's Nigerian player, Shittu.
Zing!
Yes, Shittu is a terribly unfortunate name! Jennifer, yup, guess your right there! Arshavin,Michael,yes, particlarly if you pronounce it Arse-shavin'.
ReplyDeleteOkay, enough arses...
