Bad Wool Behaviour

[Anubis]

There's a gang of lids in my work, they all convene in the break area and have a lad off for 40 minutes. They are in their early thirties yet all act like they are 15 and hang around outside Kelly's wines in their North Face gear. It truly is cringeworthy. I can't take one of them seriously as he burst out crying in an interview once because he was nervous.

The worst is watching men of 50+ years in tracksuits and trainers, giving it the 'lad' talk.

[Tony Moanero]

I can't stand professional Scousers. It's daft.

[Bjornebye]

Can't find that video Stig, do me a favour and tag me on it

 

Tagged. Pissed myself, I agree with what he was saying but the tears were the fact he was talking the same and he comes from Rainhill.

I used to work with a lad when I was living in Leeds who would bang on about being from Tokky constantly. He was non stop. We were outside with a few of us having a ciggy once and he was doing his usual, "a caaaarn 'elp i' darram scouse. De beeerds luv i' la" when another lad said to him, "what the fuck do you talk about when you go home? You can't all just stand round telling each other how scouse you are, surely?". How wrong he was.

Hahahaha. Its when you live away then come back that you realise just how fucking stupid pro-scousers actually are.

Funny that. I've been living away for a while now. I'm originally from county road L4 lid. When my mates come and visit me it fuckin hurts when i hear their accents ramp up 100 decibels and become ten times as thick, Its like cos they're scouse everyone has to know. 

 

Also, when we used to go on lads holidays and you would see a group of scouse lads 

 

Scouse lads "you a scouser lad?"

 

Me "yes" 

 

Scouse lads "come with us lad"

 

Me "nah its ok mate"

 

If i saw them at sandhills train station they would probably try and have me off - but cos your abroad its Scousers against the world. 

 

I am proud to be scouse like

I went with a load of lads from work to play in a footy tournament every year in London. Two lads in my team were obsessed with being scouse and making sure anyone in a 5 mile radius knew where they were from. We went out on the lash the night before and it was painful to watch them go into pubs in Knightsbridge and Maida Vale trying to chat up posh birds by just telling them they were scousers.

 

Next day in the tube was embarrassing, despite the rest of us knowing where we were going they would just walk up to random people, usually foreigners who could barely speak English and saying in a high pitched voice only audible to bats and Alsatians "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyy mate, duz diss train go ter Chizzicckkkk?". It's a boss scall trick to talk in uber scall language to a foreigner who hasn't got a clue what you are on about.

 

One of them moved to Jersey a few years ago and tells everyone every time he goes back there from Liverpool they question him at the airport because they think he's in with Curtis Warren.

To be fair, I think most people tend to turn up the volume and thicken their accent when they go elsewhere, I've never understood it myself as when I'm in unfamiliar surroundings I like to keep my head down and blend in.

 

Humans are fucking mental.

True. Stringy appears at the end of this clip.

Scenes from a wedding in woolyback land yesterday

Nothing says wool like a skinhead with a fringe.

[razor]

Got lost in Widnes once looking for a shop that sold wallpaper. Pulled over and asked some wool "hey mate, is there a B&Q in Widnes?".

 

After a long pause and confused look the wool said "Nooo, it's W-I-D-N-E-S" and walked off.

 

I'll get my coat

 

I did the same when I was in Quebec.

 

The helpful Canadian passerby informed me that "B&Q" was in fact a British franchise but that the Canadian equivalent was called "Home Hardware".

 

The massive wool.

Scousers are everywhere too, absolutely everywhere. Sat in some quiet canal pub in Surrey on my bill years ago eating nuts and drinking Heineken, fella comes to the bar and asks to buy a rugby shirt (?), girl says she'll have to get the manager, woman comes downstairs with arms full of rugby shirts 'what size are ya luv??'

 

First person we saw in New York was Pete Price.

[Mook]

It doesn't work.

It's the 'see you Jimmy' hat and megaphone, isn't it?

[Preston Red]

I have a black bin in woolyness. You could say I'm a Wool Master.

 

I used to go to Southport casino quite a bit up until about 2 years ago. It was alright at first and then word spread about how good the Poker was and it attracted people from Formby with the most horrendous OTT scouse accent that can inflict quadruple earAIDS. The genuine scouse accent is a good thing to hear as generally it comes across as friendly, but them that layer it on thick are fucking horrible.

[Trumo]

It is fair to say that if the protagonist had simply gone somewhere outside the Liverpool city limits, we may never have got that nursery rhyme.

[dickie mint]

The accent is disappearing over the years too many bell ends putting a phoney voice on nowadays,when on holiday always get to fuck when you here the usual Birkenhead scouser.

[Preston Red]

The Lancashire accent is going the same way. You either get scrotes talking like they've got a mouthful of sweets or pricks talking with the ridiculous "uhhhhn" at the end of every word.

Maybe I am missing something here as I am an OOT'er but it seems to me that from the pictures on this thread that a Bad Wool is exactly the same as a Scally from a post code which has purple wheelie bins.

with a different but just as irritating accent.  Scouse accents have changed unbelievably in the last 30 years, and it's due to insularity and possibly inbreeding.

Maybe it's Secs's riff on the absurdities of life and the insularity and fear inherent in a certain section of society

He's probably going to broaden his theme by introducing the interconnectedness of everything and all life is essentially one 

He's quite clearly done acid for the first time

haha!  that's a possibility. 

[Hooch]

Whilst it can be annoying and ott I don't get the hate?

 

People being proud of where they come from shocker.

 

I'm not in agreement with exaggerating your accent and totally assuming anyone who's scouse is your mate but fucking hell. It's a great city with great spirit and uniqueness. Of course that has spawned over the top super scouse pride in some people.

 

It is quite funny bumping into a scouser abroad in my experience. A cunt is a cunt wherever they're from but I find most of the time I've come across one they'll be sound and you can share a quick joke or whatever and crack on with your day.

Canadian Tire.

 

They even have their own money with a lumberjack on it.

 

What you encountered in Quebec was more than likely a 'maudit anglais'. or damn english.
