Checklist - The Greasy Chip Butty Song

[Geordie Blade]

I was (clearly very bored and) wondering how many of the Greasy Chip Butty song items I've achieved/experienced.

A gallon of Magnet
I've certainly had a gallon (eight pints) of beer on various occasions. I'm not a huge fan of Magnet, though, so I've never really had more than one or two pints of it at a time.

A packet of Woodbines
I've never smoked at all. Even if I was going to start smoking, I don't think that I'd choose Woodbines as my starting point.

A good pinch of snuff
I've tried snus (the Swedish form of snuff). It was a funny little teabag thing that you put between your top lip and gum. I wouldn't describe it as a 'good' pinch, and I'm not even sure that snus is exactly the same as snuff anyway.

A night out in Sheffield
Ah, finally one that I can 100% be sure that I've achieved.

A greasy chip butty
Again, I'm an expert achiever on this one. In all honestly, I prefer my chips to have a crispier outer layer, and would tend to avoid the full-on greasy types, but I've had more than my fair share of greasy chip butties in my time. I might even award myself half a bonus point for having had a chip butty from Greasy Vera's.

Sheffield United
For better or worse, for richer or poorer, this is a yes (obviously).

So, I'm a 3 out of 6. I think I could force myself to have a gallon of Magnet to up my score one day, but I'm going to pass on the Woodbines.

It's a gallon of maggots! You know, Sheffield, angling capital of the universe!

Magnet is cr@p!

Eyethengyou!

 

[Crouchy]

I've done them all. I've also experienced tits, fanny and United, and if I could have flown over Hillsborough and shat on the bastards below I would have.

 

[moDtheGod]

I don't smoke either, which severely affects my score. I've done half a gallon of Magnet. I intend to have a gallon at some point, but it's hard to find these days.

So you don't have the wings of a crow but you do have the @rse of an elephant...

 

[shorehamview]

I've done the lot. Magnet isn't really one of my favourite beers by a long way, snuff is horrible and just makes you sneeze, and Woodbines are like sucking Ford Transit exhausts, and about as healthy. Chip butties though...... The best pre-match ones are at A Salt and Battered on London Road. Mmmm.

 

[Deleted member 875]

Magnet is like rocket fuel. I reckon i've only had 4 or 5 of them in one sitting as i don't really like it and it's a bit heavy

Woodines. Smoked a full pack of these before. Cigarettes for Championship smokers. Not even filter tipped.

Snuff. Had this before, black bogies guaranteed every time.

Night out Sheffield. Plenty of these.

Greasy Chip Buttie. From the little chippy next to Asda in Chap, quality

Sheffield United. Enough to last me a lifetime

 

[judge]

Dun't lot !!!

 

[dingledog]

Never smoked, but never seen us win at wembley, still 100% Blade. ( sorry still peed off about it all, I will get over it)

 

[Compound_Legend]

A gallon of Magnet - yep,done it..in fact,me and me mate (and fellow Bladesman) Andy used to do it every Christmas Eve before heading to the Leadmill,where we used to follow it up with cans of Red Stripe - the hangovers were legendary..

A packet of Woodbines - unfortunately,non smoker,but me grandad definitely did..

A good pinch of snuff - once,and sneezed the place down

A night out in Sheffield - of course...

A greasy chip butty - born and raised just round the corner from Dixon's chippy on London Road...

Sheffield United - as Churchill once said,"oh yes"...

4 out of 5 then - not a bad score...

Oh,and as a Bladesman,I like me gravy... and I've been down to John Street,got mi' sen a good seat and had a meat pie filled wi' steak!

Tut, tut BoS. Wings of a sparrow, dirty great arse of a crow.

Seriously, probably done them all (and more besides) apart from drinking a gallon of maggots, but there's still time.

In the late Seventies, my mob used to go by train for all the London games with Shred & the boys. Apart from a litre of spirits on the train down, the entire round trip (we always stayed overnight at St. Pancras, they wouldn't let us in nowadays) always consisted of a triple gallon - beer, lager, who's counting?

 

[Torrix1889]

Change the words to "Gallon of Stella and a packet of Silk Cut" and I'm 6/6

For start it doesn't scan pal!

 

[JJ Sefton]

Even though I was a smoker the two Im missing are Woodbines and snuff. I never smoked Woodbines because I wasnt born in 1913 and I never did snuff because an old Irishman I used to know did it all the time and red liquid used to pour from his nose.

 

[JohnDenver]

Never drunk Magnet and wouldn't know where to buy it.
Don't even know what Woodbines are exactly (cigars or ciggies?)
Snuff? Joking.
Been out Sheffield once or twice...
Chip butties? Prefer a fish butty with a side order of chips. *burp*
SUFC? Mebbes....

 

[kingston RAWW]

according to wiki, other teams have adopted the song both here and internationally. Who are they?

Accrington Stanley.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I've never drunk a pint of ale in Sheffield.

 

[kingston RAWW]

Whats Accringtons version? Is it the same lyrics?
Suggestions please for a scouse version.
'Like a van load of stolen hubcaps'......

Magnet, a dark, deep Ruby Red Ale, a fine pint.

Done a Gallon, lovely

Amen to that my friend!!

 

[TheSwollengland]

Done the lot but dont smoke now or for last 35 years
Regularly do a gallon of magnet in the Sportsman on Denby Street if anyone wants to try it during the season.
Used to do snuff in my skinhead days back in the 70`s and force yuppies to take it whilst on trips to the smoke following England in the 80`s.
Chip butty goes without saying as does nightout

Sheffield United been doing them and getting done by them on a regular basis since about 1965.

Woodbines are still available by the way if anyone wants to up thier score

Saint Helens Rugby League club song:

You light up my senses! (Sung to the tune of: Fill Up My Senses by John Denver)

You light up my senses,
like a gallon of Greenalls,
like a kebab from Geno’s,
Like a good sniff of glue,
Like a night out at Martine’s,
Like a split, fish and curry,
Oh St Helens rugby,
Come thrill me again
na na na na na naaa naaa ..Oooh!

"good sniff of glue???????" nice -
typical scousers...................................

Does that refer to their women then?

Ha probably - not sure about the curry element tho!
