The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
So... the relationship with Shirl has deteriorated to such an extent that she has resorted to throwing angry cats at you eh? That lady clearly knows how to choose her weapons. Apologise Jams, buy chocolates, flowers, and admit that you are in the wrong
Why so modest for us Jams? You could add lying, cheating, swearing, fighting, singing lewd songs and setting alight our own.... (ah... but I am slightly more delicate than some). However... in our prowess at so many faults, I do find that the young ladies of today are fast catching us up (and probably have already overtaken us in the lying helpless drunk on the ground with our knickers (or worse) on display to the spy satellites above. Or is that just in Newcastle?
He is worth taking a chance...

ReplyDeleteYou are right Andrew except for the lewd songs and the setting light... perhaps I know some great women!
ReplyDeleteAs for the lying in the gutter with knickers on view, it is not just Newcastle.
