Paging DWB...

....sorry, what was that about England only just scraping through qualifying?

 

Did you know Jaguar aircraft were a joint project between the English and
the French?

 

And the relevance of this, is what, exactly?

 

It's me being subtle. What do you think it means?

 

You're an anorak into planespotting...

 

From my living room.

I was watching Discovery, not the football

 

Ah, well you seemed to be interested enough in footie, not least the England
squad, within the last few days, to determine they'd only just scraped
through the qualifying heats, did you not?

 

You'd have to be blind, deaf and potentially dead to not know what was
happening with the english football team.

Like I said yesterday, knowing something does not indicate an interest in
it.

 

Who?

 

I'm none of the above and read papers on a regular basis but as soon as
I see a football story I skip it; just don't have any interest.

 

Don't you find the headline normally gives it away though?

 

<Hopeful> they've all died or taken up something useful?

 

<potentially decomposes>

If you don't know who the names refer to the headlines are in fact
pretty meaningless.

If it's in the sports section, not a problem since I generally only scan
that for cricket. If it's in the main news section I don't really pay
any attention- last story I can remember was the woman at the FA who
accussed everyone that worked there of trying to shag her resulting in
constructive dismissal.

I think I take an active disinterest in football.

 

That would be my take on it.
