Based on the comic strip, Billy’s Boots, isn’t it?  I used to love that, but that pair of cunts have always put me off watching the film.

It is and I know what you mean but they’re alright in it. 

 

Billy’s boots was the don.There was one match where he said he put pebbles in his boots to help him jump higher. I believed it and tried it and now I’m living in a semi detached in vauxhy

Tony’s so mauve he could legitimately be talking about jug-ears in the middle as the second vagina.

 

Obviously Winstone’s first. There’s being eccentric and there’s basic tenets of a civilised society.

You said that pair of cunts put you off.

 

Anyone else and I would assume they meant both Winstone and Carlyle.

 

With you, I’m still considering the possibility you mean the other lad.

Ha ha. Sadly, I was fucking shit at footy, so Billy Dane was one of my heroes as a kid. I even asked Father Christmas if he could find me a pair of Dead Shot Keen’s old boots, when my ma took me to see him in town, one year.

It was the use of the word “mauve” that threw me. I’ve genuinely never heard it used in that context before.

From a great film in a non-sporting genre, when Uncle Monty says to Withnail “He’s so mauve, we don’t know what he’s planning” of I/Marwood.

Freaks my nut out that none of you slags have mentioned Gregory's Girl.

Textbook example of why you’re so mauve mate.

 

Certainly not meant as an insult, even though that’s my favourite film of all-time.

 

Nowt wrong with being your own person.

Not a film as such, but I used to own this. Lost count of the number of times I watched it. A mate’s dad was always going on about Rocky Marciano, so I asked my parents for it one Christmas. Brilliant!

VHS. Used to play it in our Ferguson top loader.

[lifetime fan]

Any of the ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries.

Kept my son- who was 5 at the time- quiet for most of an afternoon whilst I dozed on the couch with a dose of the 'flu till my missus got home from work. Worth its weight in gold.
