Confession is good for the soul

A "clarkie" is when someone posts something utterly unbelievable (we're swopping Savinho for Yamal), and someone actually bites. He's then been acknowledged as having been "clarkied". Back in the days of B&W telly, there was a fishing attempt most days on here. Once you've been nailed a couple of times, you learn to spot them. I think most of the FOCs were done; I certainly was! I was pretty sure the original thread was in classics thread, but I can't find it

Why do people spell swap as swop?


Language evolves — and spelling often shifts with it. The history of swap and swop goes back over 800 years. So, swop isn’t a typo — it simply reflected how some people pronounced “swap” in older dialects, especially in Northern England.


FOC confirmed.
 
When i was a kid, the rags brought out a song in about '95- maybe for a cup final or something - and I quite liked it.
 
@Alan Harper's Tash Another confession..

When I visited England, on the bus I'd overhear people talking and saying "We was sat.."

And I'm privately thinking.. o.O This is England.. isn't it "we were sitting" or "we sat down"??

That has left a lasting impression on me.. I still remember it almost a decade later.

Technically it should be “we were sat sitting” I think!

The King’s English isn’t as widely spoken as you Septics think. We don’t even have afternoon tea all that often either…
 
I once smoked a cig in the toilets. By once, I mean every game I attended. I feel much better now. Thanks. I also sometimes smoked weed, but I’m okay with that.
 
I decided I was going to become a Utd fan after attending a game at the swamp as a child in the 70’s.

I had seen the light.
I excitedly rushed home to break this fantastic news to my older brother.

A swift left hook to the jaw quickly brought me to my senses and I’ve been a Blue ever since.
 
Ok…think I’m going to regret this

I have begrudging respect for Mark Goldbridge…..I mean he’s somehow become a multi millionaire by just talking on YouTube,mainly about Utd and until recently about 115/30(the c/d letter put the frighteners on him)and how we’re guilty(allegedly) off course….lets not forget the **** isn’t even a rag…..so fair play,money for old rope.
