Should I Worry


70's Mike

I think I am worse. When travelling east on the M27 and I get some horrible little chav in a beat up fiesta (or whatever) tail-gating me or generally driving like a tw*t, I instantly consider that person to be of P*mpey stock and let forth a torrent of abuse. Can you refer your doctor to me please?! ;)

is it normal behaviour to be driving on the M27 see a 02392 phone number on a van, and shout at the top of my voice "you skate bas*ard"

 

at 55 should i seek medical help

 

No, that's NOT acceptable behaviour at 55, Mike. You run the risk of being served with an ASBO. You need to ask your doctor to refer you for an anger management course.

I was following one of those crappy sporty Peugeot convertibles in blue the other morning and I noticed the licence plate had the PFC letters. I thought no surely not a Skate driving through Ewell to only then spot the Pompey badge on the number plate either side of the lettering. What a sad **** I thought. I then tried to keep up with the **** for about a mile until he\she turned off. I fortunately did not get to look at them as that could have been dangerous for my health. Not sure what I was going to do really. The urge to call them a Skate bastard directly was definitely there but instead I got satisfaction of shouting it to myself in my car.

 

God I need help.

Every year me and my mates go back down to Plymouth to celebrate our time at Uni there. Last year on the way out of Plymouth in the car, I noticed a bloke in a Pompey shirt, and got ready to wind down the window to shout an insult at him. unfortunately the missus also noticed him, and as she was driving managed to pre-empt the electric window switch as she had the master.

 

She had another black eye to explain to the neighbours that night.

No nothing wrong, I do it all the time and my wife complains that I have not shouted it loud enough :)

Ive got a supplier from Portsmouth and whenever his number comes up I shout "you skate...." then answer the phone "hello Dave, how are ya".

 

A TJ Transport lorry seen numerous times in the town with large badges either side of the manufacturers badge always gets a shout off me

 

Ridiculous I know but every time I see a contractors van outside a premises in the town with an 02392 number I feel they should have used a Southampton firm the bastards(double standards I know in view of my first line)

I mutter the same the same phrase under my breath, whenever I see any vehicle with a P*mpey connection, all over the country. They invariably have a skate sticker in the window or the drivers have a blue rag sh!t shirt on. Seems to me that there are more of these plastics around than actually go to Nottarf Krap!

I was following a car with one of those mini pompey flags out of their window around the time they won the cup, as they were turning a corner their little girl in the back opened the window hence the flag fell out out onto the road.

I had deep satisfaction in ensuring I ran over this flag, the guy then slowed down to stop, I slowed rolled down my window and shouted out serves you right skate! to which he gave me a bemused look.

Childish but it felt really good, since then I've been getting better and the doc says I'll be right as rain in another 10 years, and I'm 48!

A couple of years ago, we were up in North Yorkshire and happened to stop in Goathland village, which as some will know is the actual village that they use on the Heartbeat series.My son who was about seven then and myself were proudly displaying the stripes

as has to be done when out of town, went to the village stores for some drinks, when no sooner had we walked through the door than the woman behind the counter shouted "we don't serve Scummers in here!"

I was horrified that this far north and the smell of fish had drifted up to the moors.I had thought that we must be near Grimsby but then realised the woman was the owner of the shop and a Skate and had recently moved north and bought the shop.She took great delight in the usual blue few comments about our demise.

It turned out she was originally from Hedge End.This further infuriated me as Hedge End is nowhere near skateland and happens to be where I used to live.

If anyone happens to travel that way in the future please give the old bag suitable grief.

I could never enjoy Heartbeat again in the same way as before, knowing that a a Skate owned the shop.

I live near Harrogate and work over at Fylingdales, near Goathland, occasionally. I've got a few unused old Saints car stickers knocking around somewhere. Next time I'm over that way I'll 'donate' one to her shop door window. They normally stick like sh!t to a skate shirt, should take her a while to get it off. ;)

Why are you driving at 55mph on the M27 ? - no good will come of it I tells ya .

 

I didn't know milk floats could reach those kind of speeds?

 

I suppose each to their own but encouraging your kids to spit on sight of a place name? Kind of makes you wonder where as a society we are heading with these types of learned or purposely taught behaviours.

 

Would you shout insults or spit if for example a 'person at work' walked past you in overalls with some reference to Portsmouth on them. Hope not especially if they are in your house sorting your re-wiring or fixing your emergency plumbing problem. You would probably offer them some tea and biscuits and then the kids come home from school.....oh dear no hot water again tonight.

I often pass a small van in full PFC livery on the Marchwood bypass heading towards the M27 in the morning so I assume he works for the club and lives on the Waterside.I can only assume he keeps it in a garage. I can't imagine a Saints employee doing likewise without serious abuse.

 

lets face it none of their employees of any standing would live in skatesmouth, they cannot find a piece of grass to train on within 20 miles of the dump

Ive often seen that van and believe me one day i will catch up with it.Then cue the abuse.It certainly makes the drive home a lot more interesting!

Mike as you know I am the same age as you and I have to go east to visit customers from time to time and I do the same. I have even walked into reception areas and asked is that fish I can smell.:)

How did you explain your missing teeth? ;)

Almost forgot,yesterday lunchtime I had to drive right past their dump of a ground and was yelling "you skate bar stewards" out the window.

Its become an instinctive reaction in recent years and I'm 44.

Is this role reversal? Are we turning into better smelling and looking versions of them 10 years ago?

don't worry Mike - this is perfectly normal and will - over time - bring your stress levels right down!!

Whilst walking through a car park in Florence I noticed a car was bought from a Pompey garage by the reg plate. As it had obviously travelled a few miles it was covered in dust......perfect for a nice big SKATE to be written on the back window, I just wish I had seen the reaction when the owner returned :)

Interesting approach and if revenue is important to your company why invite the sceptre of redundancy to your door by antagonising clients?

I was walking in a street in Hong Kong this time last year. Over there you get used to seeing the locals wear Man U / Liverpool / Arsenal / Chelsea shirts but I was astounded to see a Hong Kong native walk past me wearing a skate shirt with the name Campbell on the back. He was the biggest and fattest Hong Kong person I saw.

 

I did call him a skate bastard as I walked past him but it was under my breath and there was no chance of him hearing. I am not that brave!!

Back in 1997 I was on holiday in Majorca and saw from the pool that one of the balconies had a P*mpey flag draped over it.

That night I broke into the flat and set fire to it. As I was watching people being carried to the ambulances I noticed one of them had a Bolton shirt on. I'd got the wrong flat!!! LOL.
