It's probably not as sad as the fact I used to wander home from pubs in jockland and if I happened to encounter the boys in blue would give them my best rendition of "theres bin a murrrrrderrrrrrrrr"! haha

Quality clip.

I used to live in Las Vegas. The septics were forever trying to copy my accent but ended up sounding like a cross between a pissed Dick Van Dyke and Crocodile Dundee even though I'm from Nottingham?

If I'm gonna copy your accent though I'm gonna have to dig a bomber jacket out, find some stonewash jeans and grow a mullet.

Strangely I have two accents due to being sent to a poncey school where i was forced to "speak properly". At home I use the broad unintelligable accent and in public I use the polite one...(unless I'm angry in which case I become mega norn irish). If you go to the kennel club thread theres a clip with my voice on it talking to my dough-wg like I'm mentally retarded!

I've been told I sound more like I'm from Edinburgh than NI and this was confirmed a few months ago -I often visit Edinburgh and the last time I flew in the taxi driver said "glad to be home? have you been anywhere nice on holiday?" - had to explain that I WAS on holiday and dismissed it as a one off. Taxi back to the airport, different man, same story - "Where are you off to, getting away from home while the pope is visiting?" "Errrm no mate I'm going home..."

If you're dressing up like that to copy me I hope you are growing the 80s moustachio to go with it!

80's tache? Mr boozy must love that round his nuts!?

I'd go for the full NI look but plod may frown upon me hanging round on street corners, eye fucking everyone with a Browning down the front of me jeans!

Right, I'm off. Mrs Seagull is whining as I'm tapping through 50 top Coronation Street moments. FFS.

Still up for it?

Hi there,

Where are you planning?

I have a work do on that night in Cafe in sane. If you're planning to be near by I would drop by.

TD told me some of you lads, S&S and Barry, were gunning for me.

TD is in China at the moment so he can't attend but he will be there in spirit.
I sent him an email to tell him to come on here so he should re-surface.

Maybe if IMO doesn't restart we could open up some of the old wounds here??

I've just had a message from Boomer. The last few days have been carnage for him but he's hoping to get the bits and pieces over to us later today.

Just a reminder that if you'd like email notification of when it is working again - pse sign up to the list here.

So if there's an inaugural p*ss-up once IMO moves under ARRSE's wing, can we invite the, erm......ARRSE souls?

Tell the truth, you have been deported because of your bullet hole truck on yer road trip!!

If he is in trouble, company wise tell, him to get in touch with the Prisioner.
He specialises in that sort of thing.

If he hasn't the contact details for P I think he has mine.
