I often skip the quoted text in a post, especially if I've read a couple of pages in the thread and am therefore likely to have just read it above. It occasionally makes for a spectacular non sequitur though.

I think I've told my latinism story here before, but on a stag night a pal of mine was chatting up a girl who called him a pretentious tw@t for dropping in a latin phrase like et cetera or ad infinitum into the converstaion, to which he replied "if that makes me a pretentious tw@t then mea culpa". She looked at him blankly while we nearly crapped ourselves laughing.
I think you'd need to have been there.
i was out smokin outside boomerangs on fleet street years ago and this young one was telling me how she only drinks certain white wine. i said what are ye a connoisseur? she nearly went for me shouting "what did you bleedin call me", i couldn't stop laughing then, she really took offence.
then shortly afterwards on the way back in a different girl fell down the stairs, down about 5 steps. she was only about 5 foot tall, built like a barrell. she wasn't hurt anyway, she jumped up straight away and looked back up the stairs, only she hadn't noticed one of her tits had fallen out and was nearly hangin down to the floor again. i had to sit down for a while after that.
That reminds me: as a wee nipper, I once asked a friend of mine if it was true he was a prostitute. It was an innocent question, me being too young to in fact know that I meant to say "Protestant" (which he was) - I don't think I really knew what either word meant. That earned me a dig.i was out smokin outside boomerangs on fleet street years ago and this young one was telling me how she only drinks certain white wine. i said what are ye a connoisseur? she nearly went for me shouting "what did you bleedin call me", i couldn't stop laughing then, she really took offence.

This is a better Non Sequitir...
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Was at the CONCACAF Champions Lge Quarter Final between Toronto FC and L.A Galaxy . Finished 2-2 . Keane was anonymous for most of the game.
Absolutely nothing to report, very quiet game from Keane.
Struggling to say anything positive about the game to be honest

Ominously anonymous (:
Cheers Danny(ive corrected my error in my last post)....yeah he was anonymous.....just wasnt involved in the game at all imo.
Although that excuse of football pitch Toronto played the game on didnt help matters

The match itself was incredible, I found. Fifty thousand at the baseball stadium where the Toronto Blue Jays play was not bad! The pitch was terrible but the crowd was going insane, when Toronto went one nil up I thought the roof was going to come off the stadium. They supporters were cheering every pass the whole match, what a great spectacle.
Crap football though. One lad scored with a header from outside the box. Says it all really!

I didn't realise you had your own equivalent of the Champions league over there, I do now.
Certainly drew in a big and lively crowd by the looks of it.
?????????
The standard was extremely low, although compared to this time last year Toronto FC have improved quite alot under their new management regime and of course having Torsten Frings in the side helped that.
The playing surface was a complete joke for such a big game.
In saying that it was great for the city and the publicity it got can only do good for devloping football in Toronto

Drew in a great crowd T.C , you could sense a buzz around the city during the day , which is a very rare thing to happen in Toronto for a football game

Holy christ that Toronto goalkeeper is shocking.

LA Galaxy lose their first game of the MLS season 1-3 at home against Real Salt Lake.
A poor enough game from Robbie who had two or three chances in the first hour but didn't get a clean strike on any of them. His first shot on target was in the last three minutes but it was well saved by the keeper. To be fair to him the Galaxy were launching a lot of balls over his head in the hope that he would break the office trap.

A bit like Dublin then.
not really, we can't draw a crowd
Another bad defeat for the LA Galaxy - 1-2 at home to Toronto in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League. Toronto through to the semi-final 4-3 on aggregate.
Another poor night for Robbie - missed a couple of good chances to get the Galaxy back into the game. He is clearly still making the adjustment back to MLS after his stint at Villa.

Robbie anonymous for the Galaxy tonight, they were knocked out of the CONCACAF Champion's League by Toronto 2-1, 4-3 on aggregate. Toronto FC through to the semi-finals.
LA looked out of sorts, what a crap level of football. I honestly thought it was getting better but the MLS is just plain terrible football. Toronto got a corner right in injury time and none of the Galaxy players caught on to the fact that their opponents were likely to try a short corner. No atmosphere at the match either.
What are the odds?
