I was sitting here with my hands up at my chops trying to figure out what you were talking about, then I realised it's the thing from Chewing The Fat!

Chris Robertson, he must be in his mid-twenties. I think his Dad is quite well known in the pubs in Govanhill.

Re: Where are you all from?
Where was I ?
To the South the quaint old fishing villages that in days gone by harboured wrecking smugglers who now get wrecked on smugglers.
To the North the rollers loved by surfers and turds alike.....and the shite aint pleasant either.
To the South West the rugby playing, choir singing miners who nowadays only find tin around their baked beans or soup.
To the North East them funny buggers who have obviously suffered from many years of infiltration by Janner imigrants and too many visits into England.
And lastly to my birthplace and haunting ground of all but 2 of my years. The innards of the county where a real pasty is crimped on it's side and we know the secret of Ragged Ass Corner
