Think me mate Mental and his old man Sharkey have a point. You should read his book, it puts these comments into perspective. I'm sure these comments wouldn't have been published (in the book) if they weren't checked out, due to libel charges etc....
If you find it offensive, I'm sure they'll be grinning even harder.
Fg Off M/S: as stated before, it's BANTER, me old. Sometimes, however, it can touch the odd raw nerve. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
P.S. Looking forward to reading GQ, when I get back form my sandy pit.
P.P.S. BEagle: "Geriatric" - Pot calling kettle......?
