How many posting on this ACTUALLY still live on Teesside?

WTF does OldNagRoofie have to put them fucking shite long posts in big letters about the Gov on every single thread like this? Says 40 yrs of deprivation but forgets to mention it has not always been a Tory Gov in that 40yr!

As for sabre tooth. That little fanny should feel unsafe no matter were he goes because of his mouth. Wait for the season ticket holder "story" at the Camp Nou next. The Happy Ender even gets in his "trope" that London is safe and its just RW "propaganda"!
Does he think ALL the videos of robberies and knife attacks are fake?.

The pompousness on that thread is off the scale. Have they forgot how grim Boro can be?

Thought you'd written pompatus at first

If you've ever wondered

The Joker is a song by Steve Miller Band.

The line in this song, "I speak of the pompatus of love," has baffled listeners for some time. Greil Marcus provided the best explanation we've seen in a 2002 article for Los Angeles Magazine titled "In The Secret Country." The word "Pompatus" does exist in the Oxford English Dictionary, and it means "to act with pomp and splendor." Miller most likely heard the word on a song called "The Letter," which was recorded by the Los Angeles Doo-Wop group The Medallions in 1954. It was written by their lead singer Vernon Green, who was 16 at the time and crippled with polio.

The song contained these lyrics:

"Let me whisper sweet words of dismortality, and discuss the pompatus of love. Put it together and what do you have? Matrimony."

The Pompatus of Love is the name of a 1995 movie starring Jon Cryer, and Cryer tracked down Vernon Green to ask him about these lyrics. Green defined "Dismortality" as "Words of such secrecy they could only be spoken to the one you loved" and "Pompatus" as "A secret paper-doll fantasy figure who would be my everything and bear my children."

The line, "Some people call me The Space Cowboy" is a reference to Miller's 1969 song "Space Cowboy." The line, "Some call me a gangster of love" is a reference to his song "Gangster of Love." The line, "Some people call me Maurice" is a reference to Miller's 1972 song "Enter Maurice." In that song Miller also sings about "The pompatus of love."(thanks, Patrick - Tallapoosa, GA)

Miller got the line at the end, "I really love your peaches want to shake your tree, lovey dovey, lovey dovey..." from "Lovey Dovey," a 1953 song by R&B group The Clovers.

Miller won a lawsuit against rap group The Geto Boys when they used this without his permission in 1990. In 2000, he let Shaggy use the bass line from this on his hit, "Angel." A year later, Miller let Run-DMC sample "Take the Money and Run."

The line "I'm a midnight toker" is a marijuana reference. Many stoners related to this song.

This finally hit #1 on the UK charts in 1990, thanks to its inclusion in a Levi's jeans commercial. (Thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)
