Subject: RE: BS: Hunting With Dogs. New Legislation? (UK)
Spit roasting? Don't knock it till you have tried it, I say.
Lets see, there are over 3,000 professional footballers in The UK registered. (Source PFA.) Are you saying all 3,200 have Bentleys, go dogging, frighten old ladies and sexually assault people? Mind you, you reckon anybody who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth is to be despised, so a lad off a sink estate seems to be tarred with the same brush. So it isn't heritage, it must be money. Perhaps we need a list of who is richer than you so you can hate them and who has less than you so you can patronise them?
You do seem to have an irrational anger. have you seen anybody about it? There are pills available with few side effects you know.
On more practical matters, I would love to know where Steamin' Willie comes from. All I recall is that when my charge hand at the pit found I sang in folk clubs (going back many many years..) he chuckled and said "Steamin' WIllie Hardonn." That then made me chuckle and I have been using it when wanting to be anonymous ever since. (I am credited with it as a session player on at least half a dozen albums.)
I just looked up in this urban dictionary. I must start putting Hardonn at the end of my nom de plume here... Just in case anybody thinks it is Beamin' (!)
(Anybody notice the irony of the google ads at the foot of the page here? At present, mine has links for fox hunting supplies, deer stalking in South West England and Argentina big game hunts. )
