Did anyone see that mad idiot try and reverse his car through hundreds of people straight after the game at the junction of the trinity road and the north stand. He nearly went into several people walking past, some guys had words with him and you could tell he was an African bloke when he was arguing back.
He was well out of order, why he was trying to move through a bottle neck of fans straight after the game I don't know? He could of seriously injured a lot of people.
-
Best thread title ever.
-
How did you know he was African - did you demand to see his passport?

It wasn't a foreign player trying to escape was it?
-
How did you know he was African - did you demand to see his passport?
He was forrin sounding and black.
-
As Corporal Jones would say 'He was a Fuzzy Wuzzy' ;)
-
Bloody hell.
-
I though this was about an African car and a unique method of achieving rearward momentum!
-
i thought it was a new signing
-
Trinity Rd & North Stand?
-
How did you know he was African - did you demand to see his passport?
Was he fuck an African, it was the lead singer of Toto.
-
The thread title would make a great name for a band.
-
Trinity Rd & North Stand?
Yes that bottleneck when you walk out of the North Stand car park towards Trinity Road.
-
Trinity Rd & North Stand?
Yes that bottleneck when you walk out of the North Stand car park towards Trinity Road.
Was he on the car park?
-
No, not really Dave he was by the wall at the end of the car park where all the fans walk both ways before you get into the main car park. It really upset a few people and it was very dangerous.
-
I gave him my bank details. He's sending me twenty five million, five hundred thousand United States Dollars. Something about a plane crash in Nigeria.
-
Sorry, I don't know the situation on that side of the ground at all at the end of the match. I was just trying to picture crowd flow. Was it by those cycle rack things?
-
Are you sure it wasn't Lambert in blackface disguise?
He does a good African accent.
-
Trinity Rd & North Stand?
Yes that bottleneck when you walk out of the North Stand car park towards Trinity Road.
Was he on the car park?
Its a good exit route by car. Straight up those steps then a hand brake turn just missing the McGregor statue.
Off road ! Gripped !

It used to be when the old stand was there. Soon as the crowd had gone, drive off Witton Lane, through the car park and out onto Trinity Rd before it was opened up again.
-
Sorry, I don't know the situation on that side of the ground at all at the end of the match. I was just trying to picture crowd flow. Was it by those cycle rack things?
Yes, right at the end where the fans see the players cars in that passage as they walk towards Trinity Road. His car was facing the wall and he decided to reverse, maybe thinking that all the hundreds of fans would melt away for him. There were a few young kids who nearly got caught up in the melee that followed.

Strange. It's not as though he could get out, so I assume he wasn't a regular. Did the stewards see it?

There were none in the imediate vicinity that I could see. For a while the crowd had built up and people could not move either way.
-
Might be worth telling them then.

Yacouba Sylla - the African (Club) Reverser
-
How are small people supposed to use the cycle racks?
Paul Faulkner is smallest.

He wasn't african , he was french . Only came to sign for the club , poor chap.

I used to play bass for African Car Reverser.

I expect Stuart Marconie and Mark Radcliffe to be discussing the seminal debut album on their radio show this evening.

Funniest thread on H&V in years. Thank you all for making me spill coffee over myself.

Looks African to me.

Bloody hell Villa get a grip. Moldovans riding motorbikes and an African that can only drive in reverse. What is our great club coming to when we can only attract this sort of person to watch us.

It's pretty bad.
St James Park has legion's of French cyclists in stripey tops pinching female supporters arses.
-
Good name for a band but a better name for a horse.
-

It's a Fall track
-
This thread is fantastically surreal.
I have an image in my mind of whispering Bob Harris introducing them on Old Grey Whistle Test.
"and here's a new sound from an interesting new band from their new album 'Moldovan Nights'.....this is African Car Reverser'
Cue Bongos.
-
Is that the new single by The Fall?
-
Harry Redknapp's just signed him up - thought he was one of the Djemba twins.
-
Did you know that Doug Ellis invented Africa?
-
Oh my word, what have I started?
-

It's a Fall track
The African - ah Car -ah Reverser -ah
Ran over me -ah toes -ah down the Vill ah

Bullet proof evidence!

Always been into the ACRs me, saw them in Moseley last summer, they blew the place apart.

Just read this thread through for a second time. Cant remember the last time I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
Superb

They are on Jools Holland tomorrow night!
-
Apologies for the bump but at a time when we could all do with a smile, here's one of the best threads from the last few years as voted by you. A number one from January 2013.
-
very good thread, made me smile :)
re-e-wind and the crowd shout... "AFRICAN CAR REVERSER !!"
UTV
The Doc
-
I'm going to have words Jeremy about this. It's all very un PC.
-
And he managed to Tweet a picture of the car he is going to buy, top driving.
-
I have it on good authority thaty he was the auditor for a Nigerian group that tried to buy the club.
-
African Car Reverser was the difficult second album by Smiley Culture (RIP)
-
sounds like a 70s prog rock band.
'African Car Reverser perform their 30 minute opus, Parking the rusty cortina so sit back, crack open a beer and let the mellow tunes open your mind'
-
This thread has cheered me right up, even if it means I'm losing the plot.
People, we are flying by natural law.
-
Believe it or not, if you type 'African Car Reverser' into Google, this thread is top of the search list.
-

Apparently he sounded just like the taxi driver in Naked Gun 33/3 the one with the fez on.
-
Quite right too. The only fanzine in the world with Kafka tribute posters.
-
Great thread.
-

What's H&V's Google position for "Owls versus Gibbons" ?
-
I thought it sounded like a song by The Fall. I scrolled through the older posts to see if anyone had made this point previously and several people had. Including me.
-
Well why not ask the man himself? He turned-up on Channel 4 news the other giving his enlightened opinion on migration:

-
just heard his cover version of The Tragically Hip's' 'Locked in the trunk of my car'? Mind-blowing
-
Tim Sherwood will look like Mark E Smith in a few years.
-
Haven't VW got in trouble for illegally fixing this to their cars?
-
Can we get him to reverse over an effigy of Randy as part of the protest?
-
Believe it or not, if you type 'African Car Reverser' into Google, this thread is top of the search list.
How many other people would you imagine put those words together in a sentence before?

This thread has really cheered me up. I don't know why but it makes me laugh. Can we trademark it and sell merchandise? I can see great things ahead for ACR.

Third is a South African shop selling cameras to help you reverse-park.

Re-e-verse, when the crowd says bo, reverser.
Re-verser, [unintelligible bit], a licky boom boom down.

No need to apologise to me, you'll be judged in time by the gods of bad dance reggae.
-
I stand corrected. Please accept my sincere apologies.
I should hope so too. Apache Indian is responsible for such soulful and meaningful lyrics as:
'The English gal a do the boomshackalak
The American gal a do the boomshackalak
The Indian possie do the boomshackalak
The Yardy gal a do the boomshackalak
The Japanese gal a do the boomshackalak
And the German gal a do the boomshackalak'
-
All well and good, but can any of them reverse a car up Witton Lane on a match day? I doubt it.
-
Blimey I started this 3 years ago after the night game loss to Newcastle. He was in a rush to get back and watch the African Cup of Nations if I remember well, trying to reverse through hundreds of Villa fans between the North Stand and the Trinity :)

I will have a two year old to name in March and African Car Reverser would be a perfect name but it is one letter too long.

I remember John Peel filling in for a Radio 1 DJ daytime slot for a week in the 90's.He obviously had to play the songs that were in the charts, not some Swedish Death Metal or Wedding Present etc.
I laughed out loud after he played that Apache Indian song and said after a short pause.
" Er licky licky bum bum down, not sure that's a message we should be sending to the youth of the nation , but there you go."

Sorry - the space at the end of the name and the ? were meant to be mine and not part of the name - by using one 'r' and merging the words Car and Reverser should get you to 18 letters total - as in "African Careverser" - you have the max of 18 letters, plus the glorious joy of forever correcting anyone who mispronounces it as "Care~verser" !

Looking back at this thread, it is kind of funny that we were tutting at someone (African man, in car, reversing) trying his best to get away from Villa Park as quickly as he possibly could post-match, after a season where most of us would happily walk over the breathless bodies of children if it got us away from the ground quicker.

We should find this bloke and get him to lead the team out for a game. Reversing his motor down the tunnel, obviously.

The thread title is an anagram of Aston Villa (if you pretend there's a T, O and two L's in it, which there aren't. You'd also have to drop a couple of letters too).
-
so it's not then really?
-
What cars do they make in Africa anyway?
Not sure, but I know they had a Nissan Main Dealer in South Africa.
-
wasn it a BMW black mans wheels?
Behave. You won't be told again.
-
I looked at the thread title & thought for a split second it was going to be about the size of Gareth Barry's arse and why he didn't take the penalty.

If you jumble up all the letters and reform them into the REAL words, it is!
Conspiracy!

Boring I know by this thread's standards but going back to my intention to buy a two year old at the spring sales. If I am to try to sneak the name African Car Reverser past the BHA I must obviously concentrate on the progeny of Reams of Verse. Put the first two letters with the last five letters. All I need then is to find a place in Africa called Samfo or Masof and it becomes heap powerful medicine.
-

mere semantics
-

They don't make them they have them delivered in containers straight from people's drives in UK.

Mofam river lodge is in South Africa!
I know. I can't sleep and have been googling various spellings; that's the nearest so far. If you add the s it sounds as if the horse is refusing - Mofam Reverses :)

Most of the major manufacturers have plants in South Africa, including Ford, Merc, BMW, VW, Toyota.

Thanks Lou. All coming together. Reverses can be good. A horse is often said to reverse the form when it turns the tables on previous opposition.

Cars that only go forward. If you need to go backwards you have to call the African Car Reverser.

On the subject of reversing, it reminds of the time I shouted at a rather stout David Unsworth as he was stepping back to take a throw in.
"Beep Beep, this vehicle is reversing!"
He then turned around and gave me the finger , Peter Kay style

I thought this was a thread about Mo Salifou revealing that we made him a parking attendant during his time here, just to get some value out of his wages.

Still true.
-
As TV points out in the Millwall pre-match thread, our high Google-trending in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in recent years (bettered only by UK and Ireland) must surely be largely down to our legendary Reverser.
-
I just did "OK Google! Search for African Car Reverser." And it sent me here.
-
I am still seeking permission to name a racehorse African Car Reverser. One letter too many I am told.
-
Africa Car Reverser.
-
How about African Ka Reverser ?
-
Africancarreverser! Would be bang on.
-
Having been quite a fan of this thread, I just had a realisation.
In August, in Africa, I volunteered myself as a designated driver, but had no idea where to find the handbreak/how to get my brother in law's swish automatic car into reverse and with no one to guide me was swiftly turfed out.
Frankly it was a tight/complex steep downhill manoeuvre anyway so it was probably for the best not to prang his Merc.
Totally failed in my moment of glory to be an African car reverser...
-
This thread should never be off the first page.

Probably 12 months ago I was sat on the new mower happily cutting the semi rough on the £35k machine. Unfortunately on one bank it slid , I lost control, shot down the side of the 9th and finished up embedded in a tree in woodland. I had to walk to find the course manager and his first words were " what the fuckin hell were you thinking about ". My reply was " I wondered whether my shit would run out the bottom of my trousers ".

Purple trousers?

Were you able to restart the mower where it lay or move it away from the trees, restart it there and take the penalty ?

Got towed out and amazingly not too much damage. Straightened up the front deck...gave the seat a good clean !! And we were good to go.

Well it wasn't a car, but we once got the hospital bus stuck in a thick mud in Lake Mburo national park.
There was a lot of African-non-reversing or going forward come to that.
The highlight however was as we drove in, in the dark with headlights on full beam looking out for wildlife, one of our lot shouted "Look there's a zebra crossing!". Satisfying.
-
This thread should never be off the first page.
Just felt we were missing something as we prepare for our ascension.
-
Agree. No more reversing. Forward gears only. The African can go and drive Danny Baker.
-
Always a pleasure to see this one crop up again.
-
It is indeed. If ever we rebuild the North Stand it should be The African Car Reverser Stand.
-
If Formula One was replaced by African Car Reversers whizzing round a track backwards, I'd watch it every week.
-
Always a pleasure to see this one crop up again.
I’m smiling broadly having just re-read the entire thread.
It has made a vegan husband grilling his ailing very pregnant* wife’s pork sausages more bearable.
I miss the days of her saying Linda McCartney ones were the best.
I guess African Sausage Connoisseur could be a very different type of thread.
*(Back on topic, a half African Villa fan on the way soon, maybe will have to teach *her* a three point turn outside VP in about 18 years time)

Ta bro. There was a sale a wee while back so plenty of Villa stuff (baby grows, fleece etc) in waiting. I did refuse to allow the Mrs to export a Man U shirt to the UK, condition of marriage innit. Kid will have an interesting time choosing with an ordained Buddhist Dad and strong Catholic mum, but *we* have been clear it has no choice over being (at least) 4th generation Villa.
Hopefully we’ll be top flight by next month and may she never know otherwise.

Mark Fletcher is missed.

Don't usually quote myself but as this thread has been resurrected, it does seem important to highlight the thought of Dr Xia today attempting to emulate the original Reverser:
Im convinced Dr.Tony Xia was driving up and down outside the Trinity Road stand about an hour before kick off, which I found quite bizarre.
The sequel!

There was a shocking attempt at a 3 point turn by another ACR in a large white van by the church after the game. He got stuck trying to do the reverse part of the manoeuvre so clearly wasn’t the original ACR.
-
I had forgotten about the "cycle racks" as I don't enter the ground that way these days. Are they still there?
I remember that relegation 6 pointer midweek game against Sunderland when their coach drove into the car park with Paulo Di Canio stading up at the front grinning doing a Mussolini impression, the daft fascist. I am sure somebody shouted out "it's a tank, Il Duce, put it into reverse!".

Nah just around the corner as you go under the Expressway outside the pub.
edit: ...but there was an interesting stand off between someone driving up there to park and a taxi driver trying to leave before the game. Actually it wasn’t interesting at all and I didn’t hang about to see who won.

According to Amazon, the African Car Reverser and Asian Car Accelerator are frequently bought together.

Fascist Tank Reverser?
I was sure there must be a gag in there about that 6-1 win overtaking Sunderland on the road to safety that season?
Something like 'Pass Il Duce on the left hand side' ?
To come the full circle of irrelevance as this thread often wonderfully does, the 7" label that was somewhat 'reworked' previously for ACR, was a reissue of Musical Youth's debut Double A side ‘Political / Generals’ - RARC021V.
As you were.
-
...which was the ACR’s registration plate too. What are the chances?
-
An oldie but goodie.
Great to hear from African Car Reverser again.

I’d forgotten about African car reverser! The progressive rock masterpiece nobody wanted to hear!

Job done.

That’s Premier League African Car Reverser to you.
-
He, or maybe She, only reveals their presence to us at chosen points in our history. The Flying Dutchman of B6. The driving backwards is the clue. It is code for returning to whence we came. The very top. Keep your eyes open for a sighting in the autumn.
-
I really can’t wait until the new album is released.

I wish there was African Policy Reversing going on, utterly shocking Kenya building their first coal fired power station on Chinese loaned money. Always a good idea if you are near 100% green fuelled, create more energy than you need, have committed to reduce your small dirty fuel footprint and have no coal (but China will sell it you).oh and do it in an unspoiled place why don’t you. Will x 7 their emmisioms. Apparently happening loads of places.

To commemorate the levels of chaos normally reserved for African football*, a new special limited edition EP (so rare you may never actually see it):

The decision to put up a blue plaque on andyaston's house was reversed by VAR on the grounds that it had no claret on it.

Is Andy still around? Hope he wasn't chased off the Internet for not being 'woke' enough.

Just giving this a bump (often happens when reversing) from East Africa as part of the build up today, served us well in preparation for the last trip to Wembley...

Disappointing that someone didn’t bump this thread on its seventh anniversary :)
-
Hmmm. Prompted by Pauliewalnuts description of Samatta’s parking challenges:
(beyond the OP’s 2nd comment still being there) no harm in bumping this thread, I think we’ve tried pretty much everything else, may African or frankly any miracles in our favour abound.
-
My son, Holte Lower RR 114, has bought the back catalogue of Tales of the Unexpected. The African Car Reverser must have an episode in any future series. I just realized the ACR would be a perfect replacement on any plinth vacated by toppled slave traders. If ever the statue of Nigel Mansell gets put up in Brum, the ACR would be a perfect companion piece. Nige could be BCR. Brummie Car Racer.
-
An African Car Reverser statue is EXACTLY what we need in these testing times. Witton island is the perfect location for such a tribute.
-
Agree. Facing backwards. Perhaps doing a Michael Jackson moonwalk up Witton Lane. Fantastic idea. The only two statues we would have would be the Father of the Football League and a ghost.
-
Only came to this thread as I thought African Car Reverser had dropped a new album of lockdown classics. Very disappointed.
-
Lock-hard !
-
Is the first post here the first reference to ACR? Thought it was a fictive signing from way before on here?
-

Yes it was. This was when ACR was born.
You man be thinking of Ninguém who was the fictitious signing from Portugal
-
TACR is very, very rarely seen. The proof of his existence is in what he does. He threw a cabbage at Steve Bruce. He put in the fix that prevented the Sheffield United goal.
-
I cannot believe this originated seven years ago. Seems like only yesterday.
-
Bloody Hell.
-
He stole Tony Xia's proper shoes.
-
Did anyone see that mad idiot try and reverse his car through hundreds of people straight after the game at the junction of the trinity road and the north stand. He nearly went into several people walking past, some guys had words with him and you could tell he was an African bloke when he was arguing back.
He was well out of order, why he was trying to move through a bottle neck of fans straight after the game I don't know? He could of seriously injured a lot of people.
Was it Nakamba?
-

Which came first, ACR, the orange dot or fish pie ?
I know that they all came after Owls versus Gibbons
-
Orange Dot was mid-00s or close enough to it. Dont remember the fish pie refs.
Does this thread creator, Andy AndyAston post here anymore? I guess you're never gonna top what he started this thread with so it would be understandable if he had retired.
-
We should retire the user name...
-
Fish Pie was 2012, people doubted its magic so I refused to have one for a game, which was the 8-0 at Chelsea.
-
He stole Tony Xia's proper shoes.
He is me and he is you.
He made ze Germans tog out in wrong sized boots
In '82.
-
He is taking Danny Drinkwater to somewhere he will fit in. May well be seen reversing down the Coventry Road.
-
Well his career is certainly going backwards that is for sure.
-
Time for some International ACR juju blessings?
-
A forum classic.
-
So glad to see this re appear. Best thread ever.
-
Back where it belongs.
It's coming home, it's coming home, ACR coming home.
-
Should it not be:
“reversing home, reversing home, reversing, ACR’s reversing home”
-
I’m convinced the return of this thread will be the required catalyst to see us to promotion.
And so it proved. Premier League champions next.
-
This thread either makes me think of a Craig David song or that one from Snow in the 90s.
Re-e-verse, when the crowd says bo, reverser.
Re-verser, [unintelligible bit], a licky boom boom down.
I remember John Peel filling in for a Radio 1 DJ daytime slot for a week in the 90's.He obviously had to play the songs that were in the charts, not some Swedish Death Metal or Wedding Present etc.
I laughed out loud after he played that Apache Indian song and said after a short pause.
" Er licky licky bum bum down, not sure that's a message we should be sending to the youth of the nation , but there you go."
IT WAS FUCKING SNOW! SNOW!
I was just about to post that. In capitals as well. You’d think I’d be over it by now.

Not sure about the driver, but he got the vehicle off a bloke from that island off the eastern coast. Apparently it runs on hydrogen... Mad! A gas car!
I am very sorry.

ACR had some magnificent t-shirt designs, there has to be one that can be adapted.
-
In the hope that ACR’s traditional healing methods have further boosted the good ship Aston Villa, I thought he was worth honouring with some thread greatest hits.
I’m hoping little AV’s reprisal of the super Jack song* when I mentioned his name in relation to the @CJGolson tweet is an auspicious sign.
I actually asked her if Jack was leaving or staying about a week ago. Her response was “leaving”. She saw my face and then quickly & firmly said “staying”. Perhaps she was more accurate than I knew.

For the first time I've actually gone to the start of the thread to read what this is all about. All these years I've never bothered looking but enjoyed the references nonetheless. What a treat. 'you could tell he was an African bloke when he was arguing back' really tickled me. Real 'WTF?' moment.
-
That isn't even close to being his worst post on that first page.
-
His head's been turned. Which will undoubtedly improve his driving, but ruin his cult status with the North Stand car park faithful.

African Car Reverser sounds like a ska classic.
It's a Fall track

Ran over me -ah toes -ah down the Vill ah
said ah I did nor have a leg ah to stand on ah
If I tried ah to sue his arse ah
Sounds like hick wap huh? Sounds like hick wap huh?
Over. Over. Over. Over.

You can thank ChatGPT for this:
(Verse 1)
In the heart of Africa, where the sun shines so bright,
There's a legend of a man who can reverse with all his might.
He's got the skills and the style, oh, he's quite a star,
Cruising through the streets like a true African car.
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, the African car reverser,
Spinning those wheels, he's a true game-changer.
Hey, hey, the rhythm's gonna take you far,
With the African car reverser, yeah, he's a superstar.
(Verse 2)
He jumps into his ride, turns the key with a smile,
Engaging the reverse gear, it's gonna be wild.
With precision and finesse, he dances on the road,
Twisting and turning, with a rhythm that explodes.
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, the African car reverser,
Spinning those wheels, he's a true game-changer.
Hey, hey, the rhythm's gonna take you far,
With the African car reverser, yeah, he's a superstar.
(Bridge)
He's got the Afrobeat pumping in his veins,
As he glides through the traffic, the music reigns.
His moves are legendary, the envy of the town,
The African car reverser, he'll never let you down.
(Verse 3)
From Lagos to Nairobi, Accra to Cape Town,
The streets come alive when he comes around.
People gather 'round, they can't help but cheer,
As the African car reverser brings the party near.
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, the African car reverser,
Spinning those wheels, he's a true game-changer.
Hey, hey, the rhythm's gonna take you far,
With the African car reverser, yeah, he's a superstar.
(Outro)
So if you're ever in Africa, just keep an eye out,
For the man with the groove, there's no doubt.
The African car reverser, the one you can't ignore,
Bringing joy and music to the streets forevermore.
edit:
I think I like this one more:
(Verse 1)
In the heart of Africa, where the beat is alive,
There's a legend of a man with skills that will thrive.
He's the African car reverser, master of the wheel,
Spinning in reverse, he's got a special kind of zeal.
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, the African car reverser,
Skanking to the rhythm, a true scene-stealer.
Hey, hey, the town's jumping, the vibes are high,
With the African car reverser, let's ska 'til we fly.
(Verse 2)
He steps into his ride, with confidence so bold,
Reversing through the streets, a story to be told.
Every turn and twist, he's a maestro in control,
The African car reverser, reversing soul to soul.
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, the African car reverser,
Skanking to the rhythm, a true scene-stealer.
Hey, hey, the town's jumping, the vibes are high,
With the African car reverser, let's ska 'til we fly.
(Bridge)
Horns blaring, the rhythm section in full swing,
The African car reverser, defying everything.
Through the bustling streets, he dances with grace,
Reversing through time and space, leaving trails of embrace.
(Verse 3)
From Accra to Nairobi, the word is spreading fast,
The African car reverser, reversing memories of the past.
With each smooth maneuver, he brings joy and cheer,
The crowd follows his lead, the atmosphere crystal clear.
(Chorus)

Not many threads start of with a bang and just get better and better.
-
One of my favourite threads.
Please could someone sort some 'ACR' merchandise?
Perhaps a recording of the above lyrics over a ska or reggae beat.

Swap road for Holte and I think we've nailed it. Can AI come up with a tune to go with it?
Scarily good lyrics by AI given the subject matter, thankfully it's still shit at accounting.
As for tune, the first verse scans to 'From Paris to Berlin' but the chorus would need some repeated words, especially at the end of lines 2 and 4.
-
I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
-
I'm thinking of having one of these done but maybe could improve on the lyrics (optional): up four lines (50 charavters max per line)

As the fans unite with passion and pride,
They sing of glory and dreams come alive,
With the African Car Reverser by their side.
From the streets of Africa he came,
To Villa Park he brought his skill,
With grace and power in his game,
He's the driving force,
with a forward thrill.

Through the twists and turns, he weaves,
Defenders left bewildered and amazed,
Birmingham's heart skips a beat,
As he revs up the crowd, igniting the blaze.

That's why Chat GPT is limited. It can't replicate off the cuff human humour.
-
“Did anyone see that idiot try to reverse his car”
Can’t see how you can ignore the original post.
-
Are you talking about the lyrics CL?
-
I’m just back off a week’s holiday and these updates have banished any post holiday blues. Brilliant
-
Are you talking about the lyrics CL?
Yeh man.
-
Feeling nervous. Need a bit of this in my life right. Even started putting some ska chords to it last night.
-
None of these lyrics are anything like ACR's Oeurvre.
-
Inspiration needed.
-
Where's our man today? Down-town somewhere in Lesotho?
-
I heard from an impeccable source that he is in Monaco for the Grand Prix.
-
I want a t-shirt, just so I have to explain to people what it is.

All that tee shirt needs to make it perfect is a hula hooping Hippo.

And change Nelson to Trinity, which just about scans.

Ha ha brilliant!

Is the t shirt actually for sale?
-
Shouldn't he be black?
Maybe the ACR suffers from vitiligo like Michael Jackson.
-
Is the t shirt actually for sale?
I made it on a website that does song-themed T-shirts. As for the hippo that's German James.
-
Shouldn't he be black?
Maybe the ACR suffers from vitiligo like Michael Jackson.
Or it’s Allan Donald, Heath Streak, Quinton De Kock etc

Whoever let this thread drop off page one needs firing.

You can thank ChatGPT for this:
(Verse 1)
In the heart of Africa, where the sun shines so bright,
There's a legend of a man who can reverse with all his might.
He's got the skills and the style, oh, he's quite a star,
Cruising through the streets like a true African car.
This is my favourite bit.
Makes me smile.
