A very weird friend of mine
once went to Bristol to see Enoch Powell speaking. He got there about two hours early and spent over an hour just chatting to the slimy twat all by himself. He said he was actually quite nice.

I do not believe him.

People always say that when they meet someone famous for being a cunt
"Oh I met Alex Ferguson, he had a very dry sense of humour" makes no fucking difference, they are still a cunt.

There's no excuse for defending Alex Ferguson as a person
He's a breathtaking hypocrite and an utter bellend.

Good manager though.

A little mild racism never hurt anyone
Lets be honest most people I know of his generation have fairly backward views of people of ethic origin, it's just the world that they grew up in.

Most people of his generation haven't travelled outside their own village.
Doesn't really apply to him though.

Your set must be very middle class. My old lady didn't go abroad till she retired. Of my grand parents, only one ever went abroad.

My grandad went to Egypt to annoy Mussolini. In 1938, before it became policy.

I got "Duke of Hazard: The Wit and Wisdom of Prince Philip" for Christmas a while back.
Once I'd got over the use of Comic Sans on the front of a hardback book (a worrying few seconds, that!), the contents proved to be most amusing.

He is consistently good value, I'd say.

I read a piece about him on his 90th the other day
Apparently in 60 years of making 300 appearances a year he has only cried off 5 times due to illness. Impressive. Or bullshit.
