Happy Birthday Sammy

Thanks, Ron. This poem will haunt me to my grave. Wink

I know this Belfast Boy who pens
A decent rhyme
From time to time
Crying or Very sad

And never loses Site or fact
That he’s no Best.
But his is Fine.
Crying or Very sad

Still, it's the thought that counts.
Laughing

Just as well I'm not egotistical, or I'd throw a strop like (name deleted by moderator) Laughing

On a totally unrelated subject, my John Lennon poem on the BBC 'Have Your Say' site has been recommended by 13 people. Laughing

That's about... er... thirteen more than the average.

Not bad, for a wee boy from Belfast. Laughing

Hi Ron
I enjoyed this piece but wondered if the odd gremlin had visited the old keyboard

Parts of me live in Belfast. Other parts live down south. All of me was born and bred in Lancashire. That's nowt to be ashamed of.

Hi MP,

It was deliberate - 'Site' refers to this place and 'or' refers to the other clause - that Sammy never puts himself on the same pedestal that he puts George Best on. He's humble. At least... he used to be before he decided he was now John Lennon Shocked

No, I talk like Eamonn Holmes, James Nesbitt and George himself. I only sound like the Paisley when I've got tonsilitis. Very Happy

Ron · [Tue Dec 13, 2005 11:10 am]

See, MP... told you he used to be humble. This birthday's gone to his Mancunian head Laughing

I'm a Man Utd fan, so I eat a lot of humble pie these days. Mostly their singles, as the old vinyl LPs are a bit too hard to digest. Confused

I'll let you off... for one reason and one reason alone, Sammy...

When I was a young teenager at Old Trafford and Bestie scored and I burst into tears coz the Boro had never been that far before in the FA Cup, a MASSIVE Man U fan said to me, 'Don't be upset, kid, we do that to everyone here. Your team is playing really well.' And then he picked me up and stuck me on his shoulders so I could see my team properly above the 50,000 other taller blokes there.

Nowt wrong wi' a Man U fan, Big Man Wink

That's a brilliant story, Ron. See, and they said football fans were nasty people. Best in the world.

I've just chanced upon this, Ron. Excellent.
So, only another 58 days to go until the next one. Laughing
