I think Student Grant could come in and take training and we would do as well.

Look, I buy villa mugs, T-shirts and tat online so that entitles me to moan at any Villa manager who does not win 5-0 regularly.

Indeed it does Mr Eck English.

Out of interest why do you call perpignan the arsehole of France. I stayed in Ceret a few years back and thought Rousillion was fantastic - more Cathar castles than you can shake a stick at.

2 days practising pass and move triangles seems essential.

You stayed in Céret, not Perpignan. The Pyrénées Orientales département where I live is fantastic. The City of Perpignan is (edited because I remembered that where I live, you can do time for referring to alleged incestuous practices between members of a particular community)

Yes, USAP are great (but the lumbering halfwits that make up the population never shut the fuck up about them, the boring (edited because I   remembered that where I live, you can do time for referring to alleged   incestuous practices between members of a particular community)).

If any North Catalan lawyers are reading (as if, they're all too busy shagging snails to get any qualifications) it is the cheap Kronenbourg from the corner shop talking.

Keep imbibing the Kronenbourg if you've more cracking lines like that one.

P.S. The first year I taught in Perpignan, a good 15 years ago, the current mayor of Céret was a colleague (Maths, spit!). His son is currently a colleague (Maths too, spit!), and has been for the last 12 years.

Lovejoy this is all bollocks from Darren.   It is a vibrant, beautiful, charming place and he loves it.   You should see the place he "works" it is like a scene from the Four Musketeers meet Thomas Cook.
