Never understood the half time pint scramble. 15 minute break to queue up, get a shit pint and down it before the next half starts.

And come back late to the second half too...

Thought it was Gor Blimey - God Blind me.

Yup. Not many people seem to know that these days.
And goodbye is an abbreviation of god be with you.

Saw ‘blimey’ being used on this thread.
Anyone know the etymology or origin of the word?
Clue, it’s normally ‘cor blimey’.

I was told the answer by a teacher at my school about 15 mins before he told me my grandad had died, which is why I’ve never forgotten it.

Grandad you say?

Well, my grandad was “proper” Charlton . Knee deep in shite and ectoplasm just smoothing over the surface for a game in the 1830’s.

Just before he got sent to Australia ......
