Maggots or Magnet?

The strongest readily available 'magnets' are neodymium. I've tried this in the song and it doesn't quite scan properly.

In view of this the logical and only conclusion that can be drawn is 'maggots'........

I've voted for maggots as it will annoy me the most when I read this in the morning.........
it is a gallon of magnet not magnets
so it does scan ;)
 
I’m sure we had a more comprehensive vote in the past that also included fill/thrill, and I think that the winner was (quite rightly) magnet/fill.

Why would it be thrill again, when the senses were filled at the beginning of the song rather than thrilled? Not to mention the opening and closing lines of GCB were not, and have no need to be, altered from the original lyrics.
 
Seriously, it's fucking Magnet.


Without any shadow of doubt. It's all about having good time. - smoking Woodbines, eating chip butties and BOOZING , for fucks sake. How the fuck do maggots feature in that scenario.

They're for when you're sitting on a river bank getting piss wet through and talking to yourself.

I do not “sit on the river bank” - I stand in the river getting piss wet through and talking to myself...
 
Needs a match day ballot with 20k plus voting.
Magnet men might get a suprise
 
Heard my first rendition of GCB at Oldham away in Sept 84 ...it is , was and always should be Magnet FFS !

Heard it first about the same time being sung by the Rotherham and Kivo lads and it was a night out in Rotherham. Used to sing a long with this for a while until everyone drowned them out by changing it to Sheffield.
Of course it was always Magnet.
 



Magnet for me always. Despite not drinking alcohol anymore. It always used to be a favourite of mine. First heard the greasy chip buttie song at Plymouth!. UTB
 
My old man liked fishing, and he certainly liked drinking.... he taught me "Magnet" so it's good enough for me. Maggots just doesn't logically fit anywhere into the song, why wouldn't we be filling ourselves with a greasy fish butty?... eh, answer that one maggot lovers?
 
The going gets tough v go and get stuffed
Have v of
Being v been
Lose v loose
Land v swamp
 
It's a nod to Sheffield's fishing traditions.

Yeah, I've heard this before, obviously. Thing is, does anyone get excited by the maggots themselves? It would be like singing about potato peelers instead of the chip butty, whereas the other items mentioned (chip butties, tobacco, the city itself) are things which, rather than being circuitous reference to something, are actually the object in and of themselves which fill one's senses.

Even if someone provides evidence that the original song was in fact maggots, Magnet is clearly better thematically. Similar reasons for why "thrill" makes less sense.
 
Anyone suggesting maggots is clearly a shitwasp seeking to ingratiate themselves to their progeny by seeking to attain loyalty points for their offspring because they're not old enough, being born yesterday
 
Why would a song about a night out with snuff, fags and chip butties suddenly reference fishing rather than beer?

As the real GBS once said

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance"

Here all week....
Thanks for sparing me the effort Sean, it's getting fooking tiresome.........
 
Can't believe this is still going on.............

This WAS written on the walls of the players entrance near the dressing rooms - not sure if it still is now though.

WUM's say maggots - get a life.

UTB

PS: roll on Saturday so we can get away from this shit - even the fallout from losing is better than this shit.

That's the wrong words as well!

FILL

Can’t believe that you’re taking it seriously, it’s a bit of fun on both sides, not anything to get arsey about.
