Bren big fat lie, he is missing in Sherlock Street.
No no no no no! He's wandering up & down Hurst Street still LOOKING for Sherlock Street!  :D
cobs club

Lots of them know where Cobs Club is, in my experience. Just not the sort who go on a protest march about not having a civic reception.

some slavering, shit-flinging simian from Solihull.

That is arguably the best use of alliteration I have ever read.
Not to mention sibilance, consonance, and assonance.
Shit SLINGING would have made that perfect.

I'd read it quoted twice and the original and I read it like that every time.

Actually he is looking for a public convenience - but there is not one available - a case of No Shit Sherlock Street

You don't want to go overboard on the alliteration. But if you did, you could have:

Some slavering, syphilitic, Sherlock Street-searching, shit-slinging simian from Solihull.

And now try saying it in your very best Sylvester the Cat impersonation (spraying your nearest and dearest in copious spittle).

What I love about this SHA Rag chap is why isn't he revealing his scoop now, does he think his info, if disclosed before completion of the takeover, would jeopardise the whole thing and he doesn't want to let Villa off the hook? Laughable.

He's on a wind up.

Having a peep over there this thread title did make me laugh..

'Blues fan missing in Marseille'  Understandable I suppose when they don't even know their way around their own city.  Anyway, he's no longer missing.

He's no longer missing because and I'm sure you can guess that he was enjoying the hospitality of the local constabulary. from the beeb;
Ashley Kelly, 26, from Birmingham, was sentenced to three months in prison for throwing seven bottles outside the stadium.

Good, it was all threatening to get on topic for a while there.
