'There, or thereabouts'

Defending like beavers.

'caught napping'

[BlueStar]

Premier League footballers always "romp" with a "mystery blonde".  Never head anyone say "I heard you romped with that lass behind the bar last week"

They kept saying that in the papers about Phil and Kate off the apprentice. "romp"

 

That's reminded me of something btw:

I remember after the scandal that Ashley Cole was cheating on Cheryl, in a game at Fratton Park for Chelsea, the MOTD commentator said after Cole's every touch was booed - "Well, that's what you can expect when you're playing away from home."

 

Was utterly brilliant. :lol:

[Guest Alan Shearer 9]

Cultured left foot?

[cp40]

He has a good engine?

[ChrisJbarnes]

now its getting to the end of the game, bolton are happy with a point and have "set up shop".

 

never understood that one.

[ChrisJbarnes]

come to think of it, i hate the way commmentators always misuse the world literally. "that chance was literally on a plate" "the newcastle defence are literally all at sea". well no actually unless were playing at portsmouth

[Haz]

Remember when the watchword was 'Blend' as in the right blend for a team?

[Guest toonlass]

Keeping a clean sheet.

 

Unless you have had 16 bottles of broon and a vindaloo the night before it shouldn't be a problem for most of us.

"set up shop" is used but not in the given scenario. "set up shop" is often interchangable with "set their stall out" as in "it was a first date and i knew that, to get into her pants i'd have to set my stall out early doors"

[ChrisJbarnes]

yeah thought set up shop was one because i remember someone telling me a very politically incorrect joke about a certain ethnic minority group not being very good at football because every time theres a corner they have to set up a shop.

"squeeky bum time" is an obvious one
