This reminds me of a couple of lines from Fitzgerald's 1859 translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:

"Myself when young did eagerly frequent
Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument..."

(Never let it be said that this forum lacks culture - you wouldn't find this on RAWK or Rag Cafe.....)

Ah yes The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, great work and his brother Victor who could forget him what a great razor that was.

I would be terrified if he "faced" me.

Unless he "faced" me with one of his funny faces.

Are you sure? My mate John Bailey is a big blue and comes from Salford. A better footballer than either of them.
