Suspiciously suspicious

Posted on | October 1, 2009 | 86 Comments

We were having a discussion about the merits of custard in Ron’s last night. Well it wasn’t so much a discussion. It went a bit like this:

Me – “Custard is completely ace. Anyone who doesn’t like custard is a cunt”.

Stinking Pete – “I don’t like custard”.

Me – “See?”

Honestly, there are things which normal people should like and any deviation from these things should make one suspicious of that person. Custard is one of them. Here are some others:

Football – I am most dubious about any man who doesn’t like football. Most dubious indeed.

Beer - I know a man who never drinks beer. He prefers Jack Daniels and Coke. He’s good man, for the most part, but there’s always that bit that makes you think ‘He doesn’t like beer. What the fuck is wrong with him?’

Toasted cheese sandwiches from a Breville sandwich toaster - They’re cheesey, toasty, triangly and with nice crunchy crusts. What the fuck more do you want?

Meat – it comes from animals who are made entirely of meat. It is delicious. A man who turns down meat in place of a ‘nice piece of fish’ or, God help us, a Quorn based meal of some kind makes my eyebrows twitch with skepticism. Now, I do like fish but fish love should not take the place of meat love. If animals were not meant to be eaten they’d be made of clay or some kind of substance which is as tasty as bark. Were there any cavemen vegetarians? No there were not. And look at how successful they were. We wouldn’t be here without them.

Boxer shorts - the wearing of briefs, y-fronts, thongs or any other kind of underwear shocks me to my very core. Of course there’s the whole ‘How do you know what underwear that chap is wearing?’ question, but this can be combined with Football. Even a man who plays football and then changes into a pair of paisley y-fronts after the game warrants some measure of disstrust.

The internet - “Ahh, I don’t bother with any of that old online stuff”. Words which should make anyone wary. Why not? The greatest source of information ever created at your fingertips and you prefer to do what? Refuse to play football while not eating a toasted cheese sandwich from a Breville sandwich toaster while drinking a Pimms eating a veggie burger wearing crap underwear, that’s what.

These might be just my personal foibles, feel free to share yours, but if you don’t like any of the above I’ve got my eye on you. If you don’t like them all then come the revolution you’re up against the wall.

    And does the opposite apply to women ? Are your dubes tickled by a woman who professes to like football ?

    boxers are fine for those who like to balance their little willy on the sharp crease in the middle, but for comfort, man sized support and having your nuts gently cossetted all day, nothing like y-fronts.

    everyone should like motorbikes, the bigger the better. the only way motorbikes could be more manly is if they ran on beer and meat. did arnie say “i wan’t your clothes, your boots and your ford escort”? i think not.

    I like playing football (kicking head-shaped things is always fun) but watching it is fucking boring. and people who follow English mercenary teams passionately are tools.
    ie none of the players are from the area, (which isn’t exactly your hometown i’ll hasten to add.) they change constantly and they’re a pack of overpaid cunts.

    Meat, hmm, yes meat is good, but it’s trumped by mashed potatoes in my book. or satay noodles.

    Were there any cavemen vegetarians? No there were not. And look at how successful they were. We wouldn’t be here without them.

    Hmm, you kinda need the whole agriculture thing with wheat and rice etc, or there wouldn’t have been much progress from caveman on (leading to beer and boxer shorts etc)

    they can get away with not liking football as long as they like another sport, rugby or bog ball or stick fighting are all perfectly acceptable, to judge a man for not like “football” is very cuntish, who are you to go setting standards. sports in general thuogh, it’s in our genes to bay for blood (or a penalty awarded for hand-to-ball).

    pink shirts, why? pink as a colour is for little girls or big girls who want to come across like little girls. why would a man wear pink? to prove they are comfortable with their sexuality? why do they feel the need to prove that?

    all men should like MMA and the movie Shooter.

    Jesus, I couldn’t be bothered with that oul football shite. Apart from the fact that they’re just a pack of pussies kicking inflated rubber up and down a field, it’s the devotion, nay, obsession it generates that gets on my considerable man-tits the most. There’s nothing more disturbing than watching grown men cry and shout and yell and pay large sums of money to watch and follow these fools, none of whom give a toss about you and will ditch your beloved plc, I mean team, like a dirty skank the minute someone offers them a better pay cheque elsewhere.

    I should be ok from your death squads though Twenty – I love beer, meat, boxers and t’internet.

    I’m deeply suspicious of people who like crap movies. I can remember talking to a girl at some afterwork drinks thing. I had previously though she was perfectly normal and sound but then it came up that ‘Love Actually’ was her favourite film. I immediately put her in a box marked ‘others’.

    Not a methoraphical box. There were 6 people in the box by the end of the night. I doused it in petrol – but then they managed to break through the soggy cardboard. Drat!

    Its the Cafe Manila, Abbey St. directly across the road from the side entrance of Easons. The pork crackling is called Crispy Pata. They also go in for noodles which I’m starting to appeciate over the normal “fried rice” I used to get with Chinese.

    “I always get suspicious of the man who walks past the urinals to have a piss standing up in trap 2.”

    I will only use the urinal if it is the trough type, can’t cope with those fucking individual urinals, fucking splashbacks, if i want to be covered in piss I’ll just stay in the bar and piss myself.

    I like peanut butter & Pizza, though not at the same time, love proper beer but prefer whiskey, JD is ok but prefer Irish, hate that scotch shit.

    People who dislike football are Cunts, no doubting this, in fact proper blokes should like sport in general.

    I prefer Fish to meat, it is lighter and allows me drink more afterwards, however if I’m at home and not drinking I prefer steak, CHICKEN IS NOT MEAT.

    “boxers are fine for those who like to balance their little willy on the sharp crease in the middle,” (if referring to professional boxers)

    Football: My husband watches American football, but only the Jets. I don’t understand the game myself, too much stopping and starting.

    Beer: Guinness. None of this light beer stuff.

    Toasted sandwiches: Try…grilled cheese with crispy bacon interspersed between the slices of cheese…

    Meat, yes, but it has to be served with a healthy portion of well-peppered and salted mashed potatoes.

    Boxers v. briefs. I prefer the former on my husband but he claims the latter are more comfortable…
