Fabian Delph - Signed for Manchester City

[Mister E]

As unpleasant a memo as it is, I remember when Izal would have been a luxury.  Being taken as a small child to the communal toilets at the end of back-to-back terrace where the toiletry of choice was: cut into squares newspapers.


*shudders*

More absorbent than Izal, methinks.
Your image, Left Foot, is as succinct as usual and defines the issue exactly.

[paul_e]

Is there a degree of irony that this thread has turned into a discussion about shit?

[stubbsyandy]

More like Destiny!

[Jon Crofts]

Izal shiny arse toilet paper used to be issued in Army ration packs, about as much use as tits on a fish after a diet of composite rations for several days, the only other place I ever saw the stuff was at my dear old Nan's house in Northfield.

Also really useful in NBC conditions trying buddy buddy routine having a shit

Bloody hell, Compo rations. That takes me back. They were the only food worse than whale meat (main dealer F Normansell, Bell St and the market hall) and snoek, some sort of fish traded by the same gentleman football club owner that civilians had to eat. Mutton Scottish Style (Mutton Jocks to the squaddies)'was the worst and universally loathed. Lumps of undercooked animal fat floating in slimy grey porridge. We had it in Berlin when the Jerries were starving and even they would not eat it.

[steamer]

We had Izal at school.
you had to take a length of it, scrunch it up and make it rough, or nothing would stick to it.

[eamonn]

Shit the fuq up and talk about Pat Murphy and Fabian Delph.

As unpleasant as compo was in the main (biscuits fruit, spangles, bacon burgers excepted) you should try the American version MREs or Meals Ready to Eat.  We renamed them Meals Rejected by Ethiopia they were so bad.

Back to shit again. Murphy talks plenty of it.

[edgysatsuma89]

In my head you all look like Uncle Albert.

[brian green]

In my mind I am more like Homer Simpson's dad than Cockney Uncle Albert.

Could never get any of my section to eat the cheese possessed we had cans all over the back of our 432 every time we came off exercise,

[brian green]

I hope the cheese "possessed" is not a typo dale. The Kate's way of dealing with everything is to make a joke of it. Army cheese being Possessed is about right. In hot climes they made us wear aertex underpants described in your QM kit issue as Drawers, Cellular. Within days everybody in the mob referred to them as Drawers Dracula.

[peter w]

quite possibly but it doesn't alter the fact that he's a pompous git

Indeed. I was particularly called how he turned the easy job of holding Pearson to account last season at that press conference to becoming a taunting exercise. It became smug and self serving rather than being just about saying less for maximum effect.
