We've all been there. The first and only time I ever used the F word in front of my mum was when I got home from Oakwell one Saturday and she pleasantly asked me, "How was the match?" "F*cking rubbish," I said with venom, before realising where I was. I must have been about 16 at the time and as soon as I'd said it I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. My dad had a quiet word later...
Brilliant. I must look out my ripping yarns dvd. Been a while since I’ve watched it and had a good laugh.
Gwen Taylor, steals the show, handing him the carriage clock. "I'm sorry love". Still comedy genius. Goes back to me being a kid & the Jim Iley era.
