I’m from Merseyside myself, and over the years I have heard some cracking shouts, too many to remember to be honest. But there is one side of scouse ‘wit’ which pisses me off a little.
For example, I was at the Fulham game the other week, and I’m drinking a pint of lager when some STRANGER comes up to me and asks “Are you drinking murder juice?†I mustered up a fake laugh and told him that yes, I was indeed drinking ‘murder juice’. The guy then literally continued to badger me as to Why? I was drinking murder juice for a good 2 or 3 minutes. Er, hello, maybe it has something to do with it being the only available lager in the ground. And by the way, I’m not immature enough, or sad enough, to give a rats arse as to whether somebody I don’t even know is drinking murder juice or not.
If this wasn’t bad enough, a few minutes later I started to eat my chicken tikka pie, and low and behold some other extremely nosy individual suddenly becomes engrossed by the colour and composition of my pie. He comes over and starts going “F*cking hell lad, why are you eating that mate, it’s yellow FFS. You don’t want to be eating anything that is yellow mateâ€. I just ignored this particular simpleton, but I felt like saying “Er it’s a chicken tikka pie, the filling is supposed to be yellow, and besides, who really gives a fack as to what colour the filling of my pie might be?â€. I think he must have spent some time in jail, because it’s not like chicken tikka pies are unavailable up north, so why was he so shocked by its colour?
I‘ve been to too many games to remember, and this was the first time something like this as happened, so it’s not exactly a common occurrence or anything. But after all is said and done, I found their behaviour to be NOSY in the extreme, and I really think that they should just mind their own facking business, to be honest.
