The loneliest Englishman
Years ago I was in a pub with my then girlfriend, the TV was showing Eurosport and it announced "Coming up next: Irish greyhound racing", my girlfriend said "I wonder what the difference to normal greyhound racing is?" to which I loudly proclaimed "The rabbit chases the dogs!" I thumped the table in mirth and sat back laughing...

...my girlfriend was looking at me in horror, it was then that I remembered:

She was Irish.
We were sitting with her Irish parents who I had just met.
We were in an Irish pub.
In Ireland.

Was in a pub in Dublin with a mate
He started singing Sunday Bloody Sunday!!! At the top of his motherfucking voice...

...he is an idiot.

I disowned him. He didnt appear to have a clue what that song was all about.

Whoops
as long as he didnt follow it up with "God save the queen" or "Rule Britannia"...

To be fair it is a good song,
and it really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it?

I always thought it was about a bloke
trying really hard to sell ice cream until he snaps - Sundae bloody sundae!

Nasty business, confectionary. Very nasty.

Thank you
I don't feel like such an utter twunt now (although the memory still makes me cringe).
