The term "chinaman" is believed to have originated from a match between England and the West Indies in 1933, where Ellis Achong, a left-arm unorthodox spinner of Chinese descent, dismissed Walter Robins. Robins reportedly used the phrase "fancy being done by a bloody Chinaman" as he walked back to the pavilion. While the term was initially used to describe the bowling action, it carries a history of racial connotations and is now considered offensive by many . Copied from google , I remember the term from the 60's when watching test match cricket ! The American term was from when large numers of chinese were used as imported labour to build railways etc As seen in the TV series Kung Fu ! Racial Undertones: While the term was initially used to describe the bowling action, it carries a history of racial connotations and is now considered offensive by many.

From history on first contact with the British Empire the Chinese named us ghosts as we were white and smelt of dead people, also hairy etc . Usual reaction was to truss them up and then meet a bad end .

I think the original book cover had him saying "This engine is totally fucked mate "

Pure Trump MAGA response 😄

No obviously . Tall striker may be , big , white and bird no!

Trump 2 is reference to Trump’s response to any comments is to insult , ridicule and make false accusations against that person or group .

You didn't upset me I just thought it was disrespectful , below your normal standard. Slagging felow posters off is one thing etc

I think a little bit of respect from you Turkish would be the way to go . At the the moment you are sounding like Trump 2

RM given the thumbs up by Fergie , a sort of kiss of death then 😄

Well known commentators kiss of death ! Motson excelled at this " The last thing England need now is to concede from this corner " is a classic 😄

Didn’t it have to be burnt down each year to get it to regenerate ? Can’t remember when I last saw a Pampas grass !

PNE v Liverpool friendly on ITV , you couldn’t make it up 😆

True but he can also use Gift Aid so the tax man gives a bit to charity as well !

He does take his salary but donates it to different charities each month apparently or has done according to news reports .

Probably after Hillsborough when dozens of fans were being crushed to death and were prevented from getting on the pitch initially .

At work when people that we thought not up to the job or promoted above their abilities then we assumed they were in the local lodge or someone off site at HQ was pulling the strings . One of our managers suggested the man picked to head up one department " had hidden talents " which I assumed was a joke !
