Is that nurse Ratchett? I can tell how long it is since I watched that film because these days, I definitely would.

You ready to have yer mind blown?

It's not 'Nurse Rachett' at all. Her name is Nurse Ratched! I only discovered it because I went to see a production of it at The Crucible the other month and saw it written in the programme. Me mum couldn't believe it either. I suppose that's what we get for not reading the fucking novel.

The lass who played her in the play (who was actually a last minute replacement as the first actress fell ill) was the absolute spitting image of Louise Fletcher from the film.

It doesn’t blow my mind, I’ve read the book. I just couldn’t remember the spelling and CBA to look it up. Just realised it’s twenty five years plus since I read that. Shit, that went quick.
 
News is that the Blades are a small team who get no respect within the Championship. OK we don't have a barrel of money but there were times when United were discussed within the top echelons of football management. I have recently uncovered letter's sent between Bertie Mee and Bill Shankly.

Now their dream of a Shoreham Street Argos never came into fruition but if we can just put a few quid on the Kop tickets that dream could come true. Come on Blades, lets do it…..

Yeah, right ,, okay then.
 
I like to imagine that he has it blown into him a la Stevie Nicks by a robed & bejeweled flunkie, as sits on an ergonomic stool naked, furiously typing his streams of consciousness. :D
Did you mean Shoreham Street Agro ?
Keep up lad, the massive intellect on this board have a greater understanding of anything you can imagine. Say nothing unless you are prepared. I think sarcasm guy can tick one off here :-)

I actually thought that there might be an older Blade who got this but to get the Argos joke you needed to be at least my age.

The song went: Bertie Me said to Bill Shankly have you heard the news from Highbury, he said no I don't think so but I have heard of the Shoreham agro. My joke was how commercial the game has become and Argos was substituted for agro , Hotel, residential propitiates. Mind you, I am a nutter and do deserve your scorn....

I got it too, the play on words aggro/Argos and I did contemplate letting you know I understood the gag and in the context of the barrel of money song and decided against it. It was a bit contrived really as witnessed by the need to explain it, that rarely helps a joke, however clever.

The song didn’t go like that at all. Bertie ‘Me’ enquired of Bill whether he’d heard of the North Bank, Highbury.

Scorn upon Scorn.

If you liked that book then try Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test which is based on Ken Kesey and a group of people loosely called The Merry Pranksters who went on a drug and drink based road trip in the 60s. You'll then understand how Ken ended up in the asylum. It's over 45 years since I read that book so beat that!!
 
Where've you erd this pal?

I’ve heard of it, and them, and I read Kerouac’s On the Road. I’ll look out for a copy. I don’t read much these days though. Which is odd because I did, a lot.
