There's an older fella in the bookies every morning. He bets on the football.
He tells me all about his 25p bets from the day before, and what punts he's having today.
He can talk the hind legs off a donkey.
Every single day whilst telling me about his day's before bets, he will always say these 3 quotes:
"Football; bloody hell"
"It's a funny old game"
"It only takes one second to score a goal"
I thought I would head him off at the pass this morning... Early doors in to his monologue, I said "It's a funny old game" "It only takes one second to score a goal".
Hah, I thought, that'll steal your thunder and cut you short!
Not at all... I was asked, do I know who said those?
Yes I replied.
He then banged on in minute detail about when, where, and in what circumstances each quote was said.
I almost cried.
