I think we can all agree that in the pantheon of Afterword Faux Geordie is/was “one of the greats”. I’m off to thaaa Toon today and will be having a hopefully convivial late evening of bonhomie with both Faux Geordie and Yorki. Any messages for the great man?
Any messages for Faux Geordie?
“Get yer Geordie arse back here!”
Give him my love. I mean that.
(not that kind of love…. yuck)
Yeah G’day mate
You can tell him that while he’s been making his way in the real world, nothing much has changed around here:
And would he consider posting again for this cannybagachudah?
Tell him … oh, I don’t know … to bugger himself with the blunt end of a ragman’s trumpet.
That should work.
My dad used to say “He wants the thick end of a ragman’s trumpet” of anyone who needed to buck up their ideas.
I had no idea there was any anal penetration involved (<- AW t-shirt)
Tell him we miss him. At least, I do.
Or the rough end of a ragga mans pineapple?
No, just best regards and do drop in. His views on Brexit, Maybot, Corbynism, etc, would be welcomed.
Love and kisses.
Tell him I’d really value hearing his views on here again, especially as I suspect we are about to witness some political humiliations we’ll both enjoy over the coming months.
In the interests of balance may I say I don’t miss his repeat posts about the hell we are going to in a handcart (closure of NHS, sale of BBC etc etc) one bit.
^what he said
Tell him to come back. He has a unique ability to synthesise every incredibly complex socio-economic and geopolitical issue into ‘rich people hate you and want you to die’
That’s a bit too strong.
Rich people would prefer not to associate with you and would prefer your demise did not overly impact on their own longevity.
That’s better.
Or run you over.
Shame that Viscount arsehole didn’t get done for a more serious offence – he’s just the sort of vile privileged slime that Forks would love to eviscerate.
“Oh no, after a spell in prison I might never get another job… er…”
If you see him, say hello,
He might be in tha Toon
He prophesied the great class war
And economic doom
Say for me that I’m all right
Though Brexit gets me down
And how different it might all have been
If we’d elected Gordon Brown
We had a falling-out
Like bloggers often might
When he doubted booking Metallica
For Glasto’s Saturday night
And though our separation
It hurts me deep inside
When I call to mind his immortal words
“They hate you, and want you to die”
Play it fookin lood, yaboogaman!
I have just sung that in my perfect Bobness impersonation voice. Hat’s off, Bingo!!
Apart from “doon”*and “Broon” that is
By the cringe man, it’s not gannin doon well with these gadgies!
The Band – incredibly corny. Right…
On the plus side, this might lure JC back…
I’ve always been knocked out by the idea that these wazzocks honestly couldn’t hear the difference between Bobby and the Hawks piledriving through Thin Man and the Dave Clarke Five.
Did I say wazzocks? Good.
FWIIW, I enjoy occasional contact with him on AW on Facebook.
That works for me.
Me too but the more the merrier here
Tell him Ianess has gone……..
BTW, can anyone recommend any thai restos in that there Embra next month, as I may be popping by.
I like Thai food.
Dusit is in Thistle St. It’s good. Inspector Rebus’s Oxford Bar is 100 yards away in Young St. which is actually the same street.
Time For Thai is in North Castle St. and is also very good.
Thai Orchid is in Johnston Terrace. Very good. I had been drinking and was impatiently waiting for dinner, so I ate the decorative flowers on the table.
Chaophraya (which is a chain I think) is on the corner of Castle St and George St. It’s 4 or 5 floors up and if you can get a good seat, you will have the perfect view of the Castle. This is the place people go to propose! Also excellent.
All these are in the city centre and can be walked to from Waverley in less than 15 minutes. Booking is essential.
I never did get round to going to ianess’s place. Maybe one day.
Yes! I have recently been to ianess’s very own Passorn and it is excellent. Best Thai food I have ever had and one of the best meals I have ever had full stop. Website here: http://passornthai.com
The man himself is generally to be found at the Brougham Place establishment.
Assporn is a fine eatery; their signature cheese-n’-chocolate pad thai is unforgettable.
The Nesster invited me to his grub palace last year when I was supposed to be Eastering in Embra. Sadly it didn’t happen, and this symposium of two of the AW’s mightiest minds will have to be the focus of the world media’s attention on some other day.
I recommended Lazer Guided Melodies to him, I wonder how he got on with it? Come in @ianess !
I’m not really going to Embra. I just didn’t wish to be mean spirited.
What a trying-not-to-be-mean-spirited post.
How disappointing! I’ve a nasty rash I was hoping you could have a look at.
Yes. Good Health.
