Words fail me!

Jeepers... I'm not a cinema-goer, but even I knew that this was silent; there's been enough publicity about it recently. :D
 
That's bonkers! Anyone here seen it yet? I've heard from a few people that it's worth seeing, but I've not been yet.
 
Do people not watch the trailer first? Or do they just blindly pick a film off the list to watch!?

Oh wait, i see where this happened now..... ;)
 
Always someone who will complain. :rolleyes:

I never go to the cinema but even I knew it was a silent film - it's been all over the news and the adverts. :)
 
toffee? :confused:

Lemme see what does Birkenhead rhyme with via toffee?

Toffee apple? toffee crisp? caramel? nutty slack? treacle toffee? Fudge? Butterscotch? Peanut brittle?

Ok, give up, wassup? :confused:
 
I think CL bastardised the word "Toff" ... Brit slang a rich, well-dressed, or upper-class person, esp a man. :)
 
Ah, of course, Toff. I know what a toff is guvnor, one of them posh gits innit? :D

I don't think I'm a toff, one of my ex bullying bosses once referred to me as 'The yob from the council estate'. I was rather proud of that :)
 
I think he means Toff (Toffee) as in Everton. ;)
 
Everton's nickname is nearly as old as the club itself, the Toffees or Toffeemen originated by association with not one but two local toffee shops. The first of these shops was 'Ye Anciente Everton Toffee House' and was located near to the Queen's Head Hotel which itself figured in the early development of the Club. The shop was owned by Old Ma Bushell who was the inventor of Everton toffee, which was sold in large quantities to the crowds as they made their way to watch Everton at each of first three grounds - Stanley Park, Priory Road and Anfield.

Oh. I see. Well there's something I've learnt today.

And no, I'm not a toffee. My father was a big fan of Tranmere Rovers which pretty much made me a fan of Tranmere Rovers by default. But then Dad person took me to see Charlton play at home so that made me a Charlton fan.

But truth is, as I think football's about as exciting as watching grass grow I'm not really a fan of any club at all.

Chug-a-lug my dandy highwaymen :cheers:
